BIM Manager - Data Centers

About the role

SLB New Energy & Industrial is seeking a highly qualified and motivated BIM Manager to lead the BIM/VDC of the Data Center project portfolio. The role involves providing centralized BIM/VDC leadership and accountability, ensuring effective MEP model coordination, clash resolution, and constructability analysis.

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain Data Center portfolio BIM standards, ensuring adherence to BIM Execution Plans (BXP), templates, naming conventions, and workflows.
• Hire, onboard, train, and manage a distributed team of BIM coordinators across multiple North America locations.
• Evaluate and implement BIM/VDC tools and emerging technology (reality capture, digital twin, automation).
• Partner with preconstruction, project management, field, and MEP/prefab teams to align BIM with schedule and cost goals.
• Run MEP model coordination, clash detection, and constructability analysis on models provided by design consultants, equipment manufacturers, and other third parties.
• Lead coordination meetings with trade partners, engineers, and field teams, driving clash resolution to closure.
• Manage federated models, model health, and quality across the project lifecycle, integrating models issued by consultants, vendors, and clients along with reality-capture data.
• Support prefabrication and modularization opportunities central to mission-critical delivery (MEP racks, skids, electrical rooms, containment assemblies).
• Own model-based deliverables: coordination drawings, quantities, 4D sequencing, and as-built/handover data where required.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Architecture, Engineering, or related field. Equivalent experience may be considered.
• 10-15 years in BIM/VDC on commercial or industrial construction. Experience on mission-critical or data center is strongly preferred.
• Proficiency with Autodesk Revit and Navisworks, and the ability to work across multiple client Common Data Environments (Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360, Procore).
• Demonstrated hands-on MEP coordination and clash detection on large, systems-intensive projects.
• Experience leading or mentoring BIM staff; experience managing distributed or multi-site teams a plus.
• Exposure to prefabrication/modular project delivery and to fast-track schedules typical of data center work.
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing and how model data supports field execution.
• Autodesk certifications and/or VDC credentials are preferred. Familiarity with reality capture and coordination tools (e.g., Recap, point clouds) is a plus.
• Experience with modular/prefabricated MEP delivery and vendor-engineered packages is a plus.
• Excellent communication skills both written and verbal.
