VDC Coordinator

Faith Technologies•Olathe, KS

About The Position

The VDC Coordinator establishes and executes model-based coordination processes for assigned projects. Working closely with the Senior VDC Coordinator, the role develops project-specific BIM Execution Plans, coordination workflows, model exchange and publishing requirements, clash detection and issue-tracking procedures, meeting and reporting cadences, and signoff and handoff expectations. The position may support EPC project delivery, electrical construction projects, integrated delivery teams, or other FTI business groups. When FTI performs a typical general contractor coordination role or serves as the general contractor, the coordinator administers and supports the coordination process. Each engineer, designer, and trade partner remains responsible for its own design, model content, scope, and required approvals. This is a centralized, hands-on individual-contributor role without direct reports. Assignments are based on project requirements and priorities established by the VDC Director, with day-to-day project support and workload alignment coordinated through the Senior VDC Coordinator. The coordinator may establish and administer the overall coordination process but does not assume other participants’ contractual design, engineering, or trade responsibilities. Design changes, scope decisions, contractual direction, and schedule commitments remain with the appropriate project leaders and responsible parties. The position works between 7 AM and 5 PM, Monday through Friday, though work may be performed at any time on any day of the week to meet business needs. Travel is 10–20%.

Requirements

At least 3 years of BIM or VDC coordination experience within the architecture, engineering, and construction industry.
Experience supporting active construction projects is required.
Ability to work between 7 AM and 5 PM, Monday through Friday, with work potentially required at any time on any day of the week to meet business needs.
Travel of 10–20%.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Building Science, or a related discipline preferred.
Relevant certifications or advanced training in BIM/VDC platforms, coordination workflows, or construction technology preferred.

Responsibilities

Monitor coordination zones, model release dates, issue closure targets, trade signoffs, procurement needs, fabrication dates, and field installation requirements.
Communicate unresolved issues, missing models, late responses, design changes, scope gaps, workflow noncompliance, schedule impacts, and decisions requiring project or VDC leadership involvement.
Maintain meeting notes, issue histories, model status, signoff records, workflow documentation, and supporting information.
