Drywall Detailer Sr. VDC Engineer

Swinerton•San Diego, CA

About The Position

Assist and coordinate VDC activities, leverage industry standard software, and produce consistent Virtual Design Constructions (VDC) deliverables across projects/divisions. This role involves performing essential Project Engineer responsibilities and duties, assisting with reviewing pursuit and project information to produce industry-leading realistic renderings, graphics, animations, and other visuals to support pursuits. The position requires collaboration with pursuit teams to develop best-in-class site logistics plans and assist with developing content to support interviews and pursuits. The engineer will utilize tools and software for site surveying and layout with supervision, and assist with the setup of background models to ensure efficient project setup, utilizing real-world and project coordinates for effective coordination, surveying, and layout. Setting up cloud-based collaborative workspaces and supporting model sharing environments for various project contract types and uses are also key responsibilities. The role involves utilizing reality capture techniques and technologies to support project teams in producing useful deliverables to solve challenges, and using existing conditions capture technology data to compare existing conditions to design intent, identify discrepancies, and work collaboratively with teams to resolve them. Assisting with reality capture documentation and converting it into accurate models of various trades, conducting VDC-related constructability reviews, and managing the resolution of design conflicts with design and trade partners are also part of the duties. The engineer will observe and assist with VDC-related schedule activities, help set up efficient meetings, and educate project teams to run project coordination meetings. Identifying, assigning, and resolving coordination clashes to support efficient coordination, and assisting with as-builts, facility operations, and maintenance requirements are also expected. Support with exporting layout, spooling, or other fabrication files based on required or standard templates, developing modeling and detailing deliverables for at least one self-perform discipline, and providing field support and training on implementing VDC tools and processes are also key aspects of the role. The engineer will assist with training on proper VDC applications based on delivery method and construction type, and support reviewing, developing plans, and managing project requirements and deliverables related to coordination and self-perform trades. This role may support projects for any operating group within the company, as necessary, and will complete other responsibilities as assigned.
