Electrical BIM/VDC Manager

Job Title: BIM Manager

Job Description

We are seeking a VDC Manager to lead digital project delivery, constructability integration, and electrical design coordination for complex industrial and commercial projects. This role bridges engineering, BIM/VDC, and field execution, ensuring models and designs are constructible, fabrication-ready, and aligned with installation workflows. The successful candidate will guide a team of BIM modelers in understanding and effectively ensuring designs are constructible in the field. As the technical and digital delivery lead for plan/specification, design-assist, and design-build electrical projects, you will lead the development and coordination of electrical models and designs.

Responsibilities

• Lead the development and coordination of electrical models and designs, including one-line diagrams, power distribution systems, lighting layouts, controls, and equipment placement, ensuring compliance with NEC and applicable local codes.

• Utilize AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks to produce coordinated, installation-ready models and drawings, and lead electrical BIM coordination to achieve clash-free integration with other trades.

• Drive constructability reviews and proactively identify installation constraints, access issues, sequencing conflicts, and productivity risks prior to field execution.

• Collaborate closely with field leadership and prefabrication teams to incorporate labor efficiency, modularization, and fabrication strategies into design and modeling workflows.

• Support value engineering initiatives by developing cost-effective technical solutions without sacrificing performance, safety, or quality.

• Partner with project managers, estimators, and operations leadership to align BIM deliverables with project schedules, budgets, procurement strategies, and construction sequencing.

• Manage and mentor BIM Engineers, Designers, and VDC resources, including workload planning, performance development, and technical training.

• Establish and enforce modeling standards, coordination workflows, and quality control processes across projects.

• Participate in design reviews, coordination meetings, and client-facing discussions to provide technical leadership during preconstruction and execution phases.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor's or Associate's degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Technology, or related discipline, or equivalent field-based electrical construction experience.

• 5+ years of experience supporting electrical construction projects in BIM, VDC, engineering, or design-build environments.

• Demonstrated experience supporting constructability-driven modeling and field coordination.

• Ability to lead technical teams and manage direct reports.

• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Proficiency in BIM engineering and electrical engineering.

• Experience with virtual design constructability and change orders.
