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
