VDC / BIM Coordinator (40196)

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

About the role

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. The ideal candidate brings a strong understanding of engineering design processes, high-density MEP systems, and the ability to guide teams toward coordinated, constructible design solutions.

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.
• Aggregate 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

Requirements

• 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).

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance
• 401(k) plan with company stock purchase options at a discount
• Deferred compensation plan or Executive Deferral Plan for eligible employees
• Unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy for full-time salaried/exempt employees
• Seven paid holidays and caregiver leave
• Additional rewards for certain roles, including merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, and stock

Pay

The base salary range for this position is $98,900.00 to $136,000.00. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Schedule

We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations.
