We are currently looking for a Senior Manager, BIM/VDC to join our team!
Purpose of the Role
The Sr. Manager of BIM/VDC is a senior leadership role responsible for defining, owning, and continuously advancing the company's BIM and VDC standards across all data center development projects. This individual serves as the internal authority on model authoring standards, multi-discipline coordination, clash detection workflows, and model-based documentation, ensuring that every facility we develop is fully coordinated, constructible, and accurately documented from design through turnover.
Show the full description
This role partners closely with architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering, construction management, and general contractors to drive coordinated BIM/VDC workflows from design development through construction and turnover. The Sr. Manager of BIM/VDC sets the frameworks, specifications, and modeling standards that govern how our portfolio is designed and coordinated.
Key Responsibilities
BIM/VDC Leadership & Standards
Develop and own the company's BIM standards, BIM Execution Plan (BEP) templates, Level of Development (LOD) matrices, and modeling specifications governing all disciplines across new data center development.
Establish and enforce model authoring standards across architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and controls disciplines, including naming conventions, model federation protocols, and file structure standards.
Define standards for clash detection and coordination workflows using Navisworks and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)/BIM 360, including coordination meeting cadence and issue-tracking protocols.
Drive continuous improvement of model-based quantity takeoff, 4D scheduling, and model-based estimating to improve cost and schedule certainty.
Lead evaluation, selection, and standardization of BIM/VDC software platforms across the portfolio to maximize interoperability, reduce license complexity, and improve consultant/vendor leverage.
Project Execution
Provide BIM/VDC leadership and technical review across all project phases, from schematic design through design development, construction documents, construction, and turnover.
Review and approve BIM Execution Plans and federated models from external engineers of record (EORs), general contractors, and trade subcontractors, ensuring compliance with company standards and LOD requirements.
Oversee the development of federated models, clash detection reports, and coordination logs as living design documents throughout the project lifecycle.
Lead BIM-driven value engineering, using model data to evaluate constructability, prefabrication opportunities, and schedule impacts across each project.
Support RFP development, bid evaluation, and selection of BIM/VDC consultants and trade coordination partners; review subcontractor BIM capabilities and proposed coordination workflows.
Oversee construction-phase BIM administration including RFI tracking tied to model elements, as-built model updates, and coordination with the commissioning team for turnover documentation.
