About The Position

SLB New Energy & Industrial (NEI) is seeking a highly qualified and motivated BIM Manager to lead the BIM/VDC of the Data Center project portfolio. This role acts as the single point of accountability for all BIM and model-coordination matters across active projects. The BIM Manager will take MEP models produced by design consultants, equipment manufacturers, and other third parties and perform model coordination, clash resolution, and constructability analysis to deliver constructible, well-sequenced mission-critical systems for multiple hyperscale data center clients. In the near term, the BIM Manager will perform hands-on coordination on active projects while hiring, building, and managing a distributed team of BIM coordinators across North America as the function scales. This position requires regular travel (up to 50%) to project sites across the United States and Canada to support coordination, clash resolution, and field execution.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Architecture, Engineering, or related field. Equivalent experience may be considered.
• 10-15 years in BIM/VDC on commercial or industrial construction. Experience on mission-critical or data center is strongly preferred.
• Proficiency with Autodesk Revit and Navisworks, and the ability to work across multiple client Common Data Environments (Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360, Procore) is required.
• Demonstrated hands-on MEP coordination and clash detection on large, systems-intensive projects.
• Prior experience leading or mentoring BIM staff; experience managing distributed or multi-site teams a plus.
• Exposure to prefabrication/modular project delivery and to fast-track schedules typical of data center work.
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing and how model data supports field execution.
• Excellent communication skills both written and verbal.
• Candidates must be able to legally work and reside in the US, without sponsorship.

Nice To Haves

• Autodesk certifications and/or VDC credentials are preferred.
• Familiarity with reality capture and coordination tools (e.g., Recap, point clouds) is a plus.
• Experience with modular/prefabricated MEP delivery and vendor-engineered packages is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Provide centralized BIM/VDC leadership and accountability across all Data Center projects.
• Ensure effective MEP model coordination, clash resolution, and constructability analysis of models provided by design consultants, equipment manufacturers, and other third parties.
• Maintain alignment between trade partners, engineering contractors, vendors, and client-issued models on all BIM matters.
• Contribute to the team's identification of modularization and prefabrication opportunities that improve constructability, schedule, and repeatability.
• Build, staff, and scale a distributed BIM coordination team that delivers consistent quality across projects.
• Define and maintain the Data Center portfolio BIM standards, ensuring adherence to BIM Execution Plans (BXP), templates, naming conventions, and workflows.
• Hire, onboard, train, and manage BIM coordinators across multiple North America locations.
• Establish Level of Detail requirements and model-sharing protocols; operate within and adapt to each client's Common Data Environment (e.g., Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360, Procore) and consultant standards.
• Evaluate and implement BIM/VDC tools and emerging technology (reality capture, digital twin, automation).
• Partner with preconstruction, project management, field, and MEP/prefab teams to align BIM with schedule and cost goals.
• Run MEP model coordination, clash detection, and constructability analysis on models provided by design consultants, equipment manufacturers, and other third parties, coordinating mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
• Lead coordination meetings with trade partners, engineers, and field teams, driving clash resolution to closure.
• Manage federated models, model health, and quality across the project lifecycle, integrating models issued by consultants, vendors, and clients along with reality-capture data.
• Support prefabrication and modularization opportunities central to mission-critical delivery (MEP racks, skids, electrical rooms, containment assemblies).
• Own model-based deliverables: coordination drawings, quantities, 4D sequencing, and as-built/handover data where required.
