Virtual Construction - On - Site - BIM Coordinator & Engineer
Position Overview
Serving as the project-embedded, on-site Virtual Construction lead, this role is fully integrated with field and site operations and dedicated to a single project. The Senior Associate enables construction execution through practical, constructible, and timely BIM coordination—bridging design intent, trade modeling, and field installation.
Core Responsibilities
- Field-Integrated BIM Coordination Lead
- Develop, manage, and maintain federated models integrating architectural, structural, MEP, and specialty contractor scopes
- Run clash detection and issue resolution workflows with a focus on constructability and field execution
- Partner closely with Superintendents and field engineers to align models with real-world constraints, means, and methods
- Support look-ahead planning by identifying upcoming coordination risks before they impact the schedule
- Construction & Trade Partner Collaboration
- Act as the primary Virtual Construction point of contact for trade partners on site
- Facilitate coordination meetings and working sessions that drive decisions—not just issue logs
- Translate model information into actionable field deliverables (installation views, sequences, details, and layouts)
- Support RFIs, field coordination questions, and design clarifications using model-based analysis
- Reality Capture & Field Verification
- Execute and manage reality capture workflows (terrestrial scanning, SLAM, photogrammetry as applicable)
- Compare installed conditions against coordinated models to validate progress and detect deviations early
- Integrate scan data into coordination and as-built documentation workflows
- Installation & Schedule Support
- Develop model-based installation studies and temporary works coordination
- Tie 4D sequencing and visualizations to site logistics and phasing
- Aid field teams with model-driven planning for complex work areas and constrained conditions
- Leadership and Mentorship (On Project)
- Mentor junior team members assigned to the project on tools, processes, and professional growth
- Contribute to internal VDC playbook development—expertise helps the whole team improve
- Ensure deliverables meet HITT's rigorous quality standards every time
- Participate in continuous improvement initiatives including weekly knowledge-sharing sessions
Required Qualifications
- 3–6 years of experience in commercial construction with 2+ years dedicated BIM/VDC experience
- Strong proficiency in Revit and Navisworks for coordination and clash detection
- Solid understanding of construction means and methods, sequencing, and field operations
- Experience working directly with superintendents and trade partners
- Comfort operating in an active jobsite environment
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with demonstrated ability to translate digital information into field-ready solutions
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience in a field-embedded or project-dedicated VC role
- Experience with reality capture and scan-to-model workflows
- 4D scheduling experience (Synchro Pro, CM Builder, or similar)
- Experience supporting large-scale or technically complex projects (data centers, healthcare, aviation, advanced manufacturing)
- Ability to mentor junior team members assigned to the project
- Experience with NVIDIA Omniverse or similar real-time 3D collaboration platforms
