VIATechnik • Chicago, IL

About The Position

VIATechnik is transforming how complex buildings and infrastructure are designed, coordinated, and delivered. We're seeking a VDC Engineer who thrives at the intersection of technology, engineering, and construction. This is someone who can turn complex multidisciplinary models into coordinated, constructible, and data-driven project outcomes. This is not a back-office modeling role. You will be a key driver of digital execution across high-profile projects, partnering with clients, global delivery teams, designers, and contractors to ensure that BIM and VDC efforts translate into real-world impact. If you're passionate about improving how projects are delivered and want to grow into a trusted digital leader, this role offers a true career move.

Requirements

• US work authorization is required.
• Technically strong BIM/VDC specialists who understand real-world construction systems.
• Clear communicators comfortable presenting to clients and leading coordination discussions.
• Organized multitaskers who can manage ambiguity and shifting priorities.
• Team players who embrace an "all hands on deck" consulting culture while maintaining high standards of technical excellence.

Nice To Haves

• Proactive professionals who take initiative without waiting for direction.

Responsibilities

• Lead BIM & VDC Coordination on Complex Projects: Coordinate and manage multidisciplinary BIM models across architectural, structural, and MEP systems using tools such as Revit, Navisworks, and Civil3D. Run and lead clash detection processes, facilitate resolution discussions, and ensure models are constructible, sequenced properly, and aligned with project milestones.
• Serve as a Trusted Client Interface: Act as a primary point of contact for BIM and VDC coordination activities, presenting digital deliverables and translating technical coordination into business-relevant insights. Build trust, communicate clearly, and proactively address concerns to influence client satisfaction and repeat engagement.
• Improve How Digital Delivery Happens: Identify and implement meaningful process improvements - whether through workflow standardization, automation, enhanced reporting, or AI-supported coordination techniques - that improve efficiency, clarity, and project outcomes.
• Drive Alignment Across Global Teams: Collaborate closely with internal global delivery teams and external stakeholders, ensuring that expectations, risks, and next steps are aligned. Manage multiple projects in a fast-paced consulting environment.
• Contribute to Thought Leadership & Capability Building: Contribute to internal knowledge sharing, support training initiatives, and help strengthen our BIM and VDC capabilities across the organization.
