About The Position

The BIM/VDC Engineer will develop and manage 3D Building Information Models focused on tilt-wall concrete systems. This role supports design coordination, shop drawing production, and construction planning by ensuring the creation of accurate and detailed digital models that accurately reflect real-world buildability. The ideal candidate will possess strong technical skills in Revit and Tilt-werks (willing to receive training), as well as a solid understanding of tilt-up construction processes.

Requirements

• 24 years of BIM modeling experience, preferably in tilt-up or cast-in-place concrete construction.
• Proficiency in Autodesk Revit (Structural) and AutoCAD; experience with Navisworks or BIM 360 is a plus.
• Familiarity with tilt-wall construction details, lifting and bracing systems, and panelized construction methods strongly preferred.
• Knowledge of all phases of concrete and building construction
• Exceptionally strong written and interpersonal communication skills.
• Ability to negotiate, resolve conflicts, and deal effectively with all internal and external stakeholders professionally and respectfully.
• Strong organizational skills to manage and prioritize multiple urgent initiatives.
• Valid drivers license
• Must have reliable transportation to the workplace(s)/ job location(s).

Nice To Haves

• Strong understanding of concrete construction principles, sequencing, and field coordination.
• Ability to read and interpret structural and architectural drawings.
• Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• Attention to detail with a focus on model accuracy and constructability.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced project environment.

Responsibilities

• Create and maintain detailed BIM models of tilt-wall panels, including openings, embeds, lifting inserts, reveals, and joint layouts.
• Produce shop drawings, panel drawings, and layout plans directly from the BIM model for fabrication and field use.
• Coordinate with structural engineers, architects, and construction teams to ensure alignment of design intent and constructability.
• Participate in clash detection and coordination meetings to identify and resolve interferences with other building systems.
• Generate quantity takeoffs and assist in estimating and scheduling through model-based data.
• Apply and maintain company BIM standards, templates, and workflows specific to tilt-up projects.
• Support field operations by providing model visualizations, lift sequence simulations, and panel erection plans when needed.
• Collaborate with project teams to integrate BIM data with site logistics and project management tools.
• Create accurate 3D Models using Revit based on Contract Drawings to be used for Digital Layout (Model-based layout)
• Design: Validate drawings during the Modelling process and write RFI to resolve drawing discrepancies.
• Maintain 3D Model with any changes due to Drawing Revision, RFI response, Submittal etc. to maintain accuracy of construction Model.
• Support creating Line drawing/Lift drawing based on project needs.
• Support the Shoring Engineer by providing a 3D Model and helping with the visualization of the complex project.
• Work closely with the Field team to learn the constructability means and methods and improve the accuracy of the 3D Model.
• Create a 3D Model for Pre-Construction to be used for model-based take-off to help the Estimator quantity check.
• Support in creating 4D Schedule to help visualize the project sequence to the team and client.
• Provide Graphical support to Marketing for presentation
• Support delegating and double-checking the outsourced 3D Model creation company, if any, to get a faster Preconstruction Model.
