About the role

Your impact We are seeking a VDC / BIM Coordinator with deep experience supporting large, complex semiconductor facility design projects. This role is embedded within our Digital Delivery team and is responsible for leading model-based coordination efforts during design, with a strong emphasis on facilitating clash detection workflows and running structured coordination meetings across multi-disciplinary stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead design-phase clash detection and coordination workflows across multi-discipline engineering models (process, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, architectural).
  • Plan, facilitate, and run recurring coordination meetings with internal engineering teams, external consultants, clients, and trade partners.
  • Agregate and manage federated models, ensuring alignment with project BIM Execution Plans (BEP) and client standards.
  • Identify clashes, design conflicts, and spatial constraints early in the design process, and drive resolution through collaboration with discipline leads.
  • Track coordination issues, assign accountability, and monitor resolution progress to maintain design schedules.
  • Develop and maintain coordination logs, dashboards, and reporting metrics for project leadership and clients.
  • Support model-based design reviews, including constructability, operability, and maintainability considerations.
  • Contribute to the development and enforcement of company BIM/VDC standards, workflows, and QA/QC procedures.
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to engineering teams on BIM best practices and coordination processes.

Key Competencies

  • Strong facilitation and coordination leadership within design environments.
  • Ability to balance design intent with spatial and systems coordination.
  • Proactive issue identification and resolution mindset.
  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational and tracking capabilities.

Why Join Us

  • Be part of designing next-generation semiconductor and advanced manufacturing facilities.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering experts on highly technical projects.
  • Influence Digital Delivery and BIM innovation within a leading design environment.
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and professional growth opportunities.

Here's what you'll need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, or related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of BIM/VDC experience within a design or engineering firm environment.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting semiconductor, cleanroom, or advanced manufacturing facility design, or similar.
  • Advanced proficiency with Autodesk Revit (multi-discipline model navigation and coordination), Navisworks Manage (clash detection, viewpoints, and reporting), Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360 (model management and collaboration).
  • Proven experience leading coordination meetings and facilitating cross-disciplinary collaboration.
  • Strong understanding of complex building systems, particularly HVAC, process piping, and electrical distribution in high-tech environments.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical issues into clear design actions.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working directly with semiconductor clients or tool vendors.
  • Exposure to model-based design reviews, digital twins, or asset data integration.
  • Experience with interoperability workflows (e.g., IFC, data exchanges between platforms).
  • Knowledge of reality capture integration (laser scanning) within design validation.
  • Professional licensure or BIM-related certifications (e.g., Autodesk Certified Professional).
