Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced BIM Lead / VDC Lead to oversee BIM strategy, project coordination, and digital delivery efforts across a diverse portfolio of complex building projects.

This role is well-suited for someone who enjoys working on technically challenging projects while helping elevate BIM standards and workflows across an organization.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary BIM resource for project teams, providing technical guidance and troubleshooting support.
  • Manage project models from schematic design through construction administration.
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary models and facilitate clash detection workflows.
  • Collaborate with structural engineers and design teams to improve model quality, constructability, and documentation efficiency.
  • Support project pursuits, proposals, and digital delivery initiatives.
  • Train, mentor, and develop engineers, designers, and BIM staff on software and workflow best practices.
  • Evaluate and implement emerging technologies that improve project delivery and team productivity.
  • Assist with quality assurance and quality control efforts related to BIM deliverables.
  • Coordinate with external project partners, clients, and contractors regarding project standards and model requirements.
  • Support reality capture, model integration, and digital asset management initiatives where applicable.

Desired Qualifications

  • 8 years of BIM, VDC, or digital design experience within the AEC industry.
  • Advanced proficiency with Revit.
  • Strong experience with Navisworks and model coordination.
  • Experience supporting structural engineering or building design projects.
  • Familiarity with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and related collaboration platforms.
  • Understanding of project delivery workflows from design through construction.
  • Experience developing BIM standards, training programs, or company-wide workflows.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills.
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
  • Experience mentoring junior staff and promoting BIM best practices.

  • Healthcare facilities
  • Education and higher education projects
  • Mission-critical facilities and data centers
  • Commercial and mixed-use developments
  • Existing building renovations and seismic upgrades
  • Complex large-scale building projects

would likely be viewed favorably due to the high degree of coordination and technical complexity involved.

Success Profile

The strongest candidate is likely someone who:

  • Is highly proficient in Revit and BIM coordination.
  • Enjoys collaborating directly with engineers rather than functioning solely as a production modeler.
  • Can influence standards and workflows across an organization.
  • Thrives in a culture that values technical excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement.
  • Wants a seat at the table when process decisions are being made.
  • Can balance technical detail with the bigger picture of project delivery.
  • Is comfortable being both a mentor and a hands-on contributor.
