BIM Manager

About the Company

Our client is a highly regarded specialty plumbing contractor delivering large-scale commercial and institutional projects across Texas. Their projects are coordination-intensive, where constructability, prefabrication, and installation efficiency directly impact profitability and performance.

BIM is treated as an operational production tool, not just a design exercise.

About the Role

The VDC Manager will lead BIM strategy and execution from early coordination through field installation and project closeout. This position requires a rare blend of hands-on plumbing field experience and advanced BIM/VDC capability.

This is not a purely digital role. Field credibility and practical construction knowledge are essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage BIM detailers, aligning priorities with project schedules and field requirements

• Own model accuracy, coordination quality, and constructability before field release

• Enforce BIM quality standards and prevent clashes prior to coordination meetings

• Optimize system routing for labor efficiency, cost control, and installation sequencing

• Represent the contractor in BIM coordination meetings with GCs and trade partners

• Support Project Managers with RFIs, change management, constructability solutions, and BOM development

• Oversee shop drawings, spool drawings, and model-driven prefabrication workflows

• Ensure accurate distribution of updated models and drawings to field teams

• Coordinate layout workflows including robotic total stations and control point management

• Provide direct field support through site visits and installation troubleshooting

• Drive continuous improvement across BIM processes and fabrication standards

Qualification

• Proven hands-on plumbing field experience

• Advanced BIM/VDC expertise including Revit-based fabrication modeling

• Strong understanding of sequencing, constructability, and means and methods

• Experience supporting prefabrication and model-driven installation workflows

• Ability to communicate effectively with field leadership and external partners

• Demonstrated leadership within a BIM or VDC function

Candidates with BIM experience but no real field plumbing background will not align with this role.

Why Join?

This is a high-impact leadership role within a contractor that integrates BIM directly into production and field execution. You’ll influence how projects are built, improve operational performance, and hold real authority within a business that values technical expertise and field credibility.

For plumbing-focused VDC leaders who understand both the model and the jobsite, this offers long-term stability and compensation aligned with responsibility.
