Full job description
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.
Key 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

-
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
-
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, or related technical field (or equivalent experience).
-
4+ 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).
