  • Ensure compliance with plumbing codes and constructability standards
  • Plan and manage project schedules, budgets, and resource allocation
  • Coach and develop team members across multiple experience levels
  • Coordinate across internal teams, contractors, and external partners
  • Contribute to best practices and advance plumbing VDC methodologies
  • Integrate AI and digital tools to improve speed, accuracy, and scalability

  • Projects delivered on time, on budget, and with minimal field issues
  • High-confidence clients who view you as a trusted advisor
  • A team that is engaged, growing, and consistently delivering quality work
  • Measurable improvements in efficiency through digital and AI-enabled workflows

 

What You Bring

  • Proven success leading plumbing BIM/VDC efforts on complex projects
  • Strong understanding of plumbing systems, coordination, and constructability
  • Experience managing teams and driving performance across multiple projects
  • Ability to operate in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with confidence
  • Strong communication skills with both technical teams and clients

 

Culture & Environment
