BIM/VDC Specialist

Position Overview Plateau is seeking a motivated and highly skilled BIM/VDC Specialist to join our growing Virtual Design and Construction team. Based in our Kennesaw, GA headquarters, this role supports a wide range of projects, from early-stage preconstruction through project execution. The BIM/VDC Specialist will develop models, manage coordination workflows, and work closely with project teams, clients, and trade partners to deliver fully coordinated, constructible designs. As a critical contributor to Plateau's construction innovation efforts, you will help implement BIM standards, resolve coordination challenges, and lead the integration of digital technology into field operations. This is a growth-focused position with opportunities to advance into a VDC/BIM Coordinator role as proficiency and leadership skills develop. Key Responsibilities? Modeling and Coordination Execution Develop, update, and maintain detailed 3D models across multiple underground utilities (sanitary, storm water, electrical and telecom). Assemble federated models for use in design coordination, clash detection, field layout, and construction planning. Support project setup in platforms like Civil 3D, Revit, Navisworks Manage, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), and Trimble Field Link. Perform regular clash detection and issue tracking, leading efforts to resolve conflicts before construction. Integrate design updates, field conditions, and constructability changes into live project models. Prepare project models for field use, including iPad/mobile-friendly versions for field teams. Project Collaboration and Field Integration Read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and VDC Execution Plans to guide modeling activities. Coordinate closely with project managers, superintendents, engineers, and subcontractors throughout the construction process. Lead or support weekly BIM coordination meetings with design teams, consultants, and subcontractors, preparing meeting agendas, minutes, and action logs. Support field layout operations by creating and maintaining accurate self-perform models and points. Collaborate with subcontractors and vendors to ensure alignment with Plateau's BIM standards and project-specific VDC requirements. Technology Advancement and Process Improvement Assist in the development, implementation, and refinement of Plateau's VDC standards, procedures, and best practices. Contribute to research and development efforts in areas such as 4D scheduling, drone-based data collection, laser scanning, AR/VR visualization, and other emerging technologies. Support training and onboarding efforts for project teams, educating staff and trade partners on VDC tools and workflows. Monitor adherence to VDC protocols on assigned projects, helping maintain a high standard of model quality and project delivery excellence. Strategic and Leadership Development Assist in the transition of VDC workflows from preconstruction through field operations, supporting smooth project hand-offs. Work with leadership to identify areas for process improvement, technology adoption, and digital innovation within Plateau's operations. Develop skills toward taking ownership of project-level VDC/BIM management responsibilities over time. Participate in the future scaling of the VDC program, including growing team capabilities, mentoring others, and expanding technology use across projects. Qualifications Required Skills and Experience: 2-5 years of experience in Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) or Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry. Proficiency with Autodesk Revit, Navisworks Manage, Civil 3D, and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). Strong understanding of construction sequencing, coordination, and field integration processes. Ability to read and comprehend civil, structural, electrical, and other construction documentation. Solid problem-solving skills with a collaborative, team-focused attitude. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to prioritize and manage multiple responsibilities. Preferred Skills: Experience with Bluebeam Revu, Procore, Infraworks, Trimble Business Center and Trimble Field Link. Knowledge of clash detection workflows, 4D scheduling (e.g., Synchro), and model-based construction planning. Familiarity with 3D laser scanning, drone capture, and field data integration into BIM processes. Exposure to process automation tools like Dynamo or scripting languages for BIM workflows. Education Requirements Bachelor's Degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, Construction Technology, Information Technology, or a related field is preferred. Equivalent practical experience in construction technologies will also be considered. Why Join Plateau? At Plateau, we are leading the charge toward smarter construction .
