Senior VDC Project Manager
This role is designed for an experienced M&P BIM/VDC professional who excels at owning complex project delivery, coordinating teams, managing risk, and ensuring field-ready outcomes without being responsible for operational staffing or departmental management.
As a Senior VDC Project Manager, you'll lead the execution of BIM/VDC scopes across multiple projects, serving as the primary delivery owner and client-facing lead. You'll work closely with Operations and discipline leads to align staffing and standards, while staying focused on what you do best: driving predictable, high-quality delivery.
This role offers the flexibility to work remotely, hybrid, or in-office, depending on your location and project needs. We're actively hiring across all U.S. time zones.
What's in it For You Purpose – Own Project Delivery Without Ops Drag
You'll be accountable for project success: scope, schedule, quality, and coordination, while being supported by an operations structure that handles staffing, utilization, and org-level management. Your energy goes into delivery, not bureaucracy.
Growth – Senior Influence, Clear Boundaries
This role allows you to deepen your impact as a delivery leader, mentor project-level contributors, and shape how VDC work gets done without pulling you into people ops or resourcing ownership. Growth paths may include Portfolio PM, Program Delivery Lead, or discipline-focused delivery leadership.
Motivators – Clarity, Trust, Accountability
You'll thrive in this role if you're energized by owning end-to-end delivery, building systems and teams, and influencing how VDC is executed across multiple trades. The measure of success here is your impact, not your oversight.
What Success Looks Like
Lead Multi-Trade M&P VDC Across Multiple Projects
Own and drive success through the entire project lifecycle - schedule, budget, scope, and client satisfaction. From kickoff through final handoff, you'll collaborate on 2–3 large-scale projects.
Use automation and analytics to flag schedule risks, budget overruns, and resource needs early.
Build and Mentor VDC Teams to Scale Excellence
You'll train and guide junior VDC team members while establishing strong internal delivery processes. Drive knowledge sharing, QA standards, and continuous improvement initiatives across your team.
Leverage performance dashboards and feedback loops to coach more effectively.
Drive Process Innovation and Strategic OKR Contributions
Lead internal projects to improve operational delivery, whether it's a new SOP, client reporting template, or risk flagging workflow. You'll leave a legacy beyond the project scope.
Evaluate opportunities to pilot AI-powered scope validation or model summarization tools.
Culture and Situation Fit
You'll thrive here if you value outcomes over titles, disciplined execution in complex environments, and leadership grounded in action. This is a collaborative, feedback-driven team where innovation is second nature, ownership is rewarded, and leadership is shared. You'll work closely with technical experts and client stakeholders to keep projects aligned, on track, and forward-looking.
