We are a leading construction company, committed to excellence in Preconstruction, Construction Operations, and Consulting/Litigation Support Services. Our team is seeking a motivated and dedicated Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) Engineer to join our dynamic organization. The ideal candidate will be a power-user of various VDC software programs and possess a strong background in 3D modeling, clash detection, and project document management.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and coordinate 3D object-oriented models for construction projects.
- Create 5D visual simulations incorporating BIM+TIME+COST using Navisworks or Synchro.
- Perform clash detections to identify and resolve conflicts within the construction models.
- Conduct 3D scanning using Trimble 3D scanner and Layout of work using Trimble Robotic Total Station.
- Process actual job cost, model-based quantity reports, and model-based quantity take-off for as-built project control, risk analysis, and historical reference.
- Create Formwork and concrete lift and placement drawings for horizontal and vertical control and general assembly drawings.
- Support Preconstruction and Business Development efforts by creating photorealistic imagery using Artlantis and other rendering engines.
- Manage project document management, including RFIs, submittals, PCOs, NOC, etc.
- Process raw 3D point cloud scan files in software suites such as Trimble REALWORKS, Scene, Rythm, or similar software and produce registered files.
- Produce as-built models based on scan files using Trimble REALWORKS or similar software and/or TEKLA Structures.
- Convert and correct building model files or 3D scanned point clouds to create rapid prototype 3D printable objects using Materialise Magics and Space Claim.
- Perform completeness and constructability reviews under supervision and issue/manage RFIs.
Qualifications:
- Minimum Bachelor's degree in architecture, engineering, or a construction-related field, or equivalent work experience.
- 5+ years in the building or design industry preferred but not required.
- Understanding of concepts of VDC or BIM.
- Exposure to and preliminary experience with some Building Information Model (BIM) systems (i.e., Autodesk Revit, Bentley, Vico Constructor, TEKLA, Synchro, Navisworks, Sketchup, and similar software suites) required.
- Excellent computer skills, including a high level of proficiency in MS Office, Adobe Acrobat, and BlueBeam.
