The ideal candidate is someone growth-minded who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can extrapolate information quickly and effectively (creating clarity from ambiguity), and has a deep passion for developing and implementing innovative BIM processes across teams. As a natural leader, you expect to provide a stellar client experience while leading internal teams to success.

Bring your experience to work for an industry leader


In this role, you will:

  • Manage electrical subcontractor projects across the VDC spectrum
  • Coordinate and lead interesting digital model creation efforts globally for electrical subcontractor projects
  • Serve as the interface to clients and cultivate client relationships. Present work to the client. Conduct and/or actively participate in meetings with the client
  • Plan both large and small BIM projects, including understanding and communicating the project scope, as well as forecasting and budgeting time and expenses for the entire project team
  • Review and explain electrical and one-line drawings, delegating creation of models to global team members
  • Perform quality control checks of models
  • Identify opportunities for efficiency improvements and give and receive feedback effectively
  • Contribute to our culture of professional development and knowledge sharing by participating in training efforts

Apply if you have:

  • A bachelor's or master's degree in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Construction Management or similar
  • 3 to 5 years of experience providing execution and support of BIM and VDC at an electrical subcontractor
  • Excellent communication skills, with a focus on finding the win-win in conflicts, keeping clients happy, and performing well under pressure
  • Well-honed organizational skills to keep projects running smoothly
  • Ability to flex hours to meet team and client requirements
  • Knowledge of primary building systems and interior finishes and the sequence and assembly of each
  • Experience creating and managing complex commercial and industrial design projects
  • Intermediate-level experience with Revit, Navisworks, BIM360, and BlueBeam
  • Effective work habits to succeed in an extremely fast-paced environment with minimal direction

Even better if you have:

  • Experience in combining and coordinating BIM updates, running clash detection on revised components and communicating results to internal and external stakeholders
  • Advanced knowledge of Revit and BlueBeam
  • An understanding of leading online meetings and training sessions across remote project teams using platforms such as Asana
  • Additional knowledge or experience within the construction industry, especially deeper experience within low voltage systems, data centers, high rises, and audio/visual
  • Intermediate knowledge of Revizto, Dynamo, Excel, and Power BI
  • A strong ability to see the big picture and think strategically
  • A track record of effectively working with and/or managing teams remotely, especially global teams
  • Willingness to take an "all hands on deck" approach. A proactive and flexible attitude

Compensation and featured benefits:

  • The pay for this position is $87,000+, and the role is eligible for bonuses. The actual salary offer may be higher as we carefully consider a wide range of factors, including your skills, qualifications, experience and location.
  • Health insurance with the choice of four plan options. We cover 70-95% of premiums for VIATechies and 70% of the premiums for dependents.
  • Dental and vision insurance. We cover 75% of the monthly insurance premiums for VIATechies and 50% of the premiums for dependents.
  • Open and flexible time off.
  • A 401(k) plan that is fully vested immediately.
  • Home office setup costs.
  • Paid holidays.

As a minority-owned and woman-led company, VIATechnik takes diversity and inclusion to heart. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
