We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.
Who we are
We're The Beck Group, a team of designers and builders collaborating to meet a shared goal: shaping skylines nationwide with a dedication to bringing visions to life. Headquartered in the thriving city of downtown Dallas with offices in Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Denver, Fort Worth, Mexico City, and Tampa, we believe a better process and outcome results from working together. At Beck, you will find yourself surrounded by passionate colleagues who have a collaborative mindset and care about each other. We are committed to developing the best and brightest within our industry, and that's why we are seeking a VDC Manager (6+ years of experience) to help transform the architecture and construction industry and continue building Beck's respected reputation.
What you bring to the table
This position is part of Beck's Virtual Building Group. The VDC Manager will be responsible for implementing Beck's Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) methodologies on multiple construction and design projects. The primary areas of focus for this position are BIM execution planning, trade coordination, model analysis for project teams, model creation for project needs, and leveraging Beck's integrated workflows. We are looking for an individual with experience in solving problems and getting the benefits of BIM to the field teams.
A successful applicant is someone who has a high-level understanding of BIM principles, experience planning and implementing these principles on projects, and a strong understanding of construction industry practices. The candidate should have a mastery (or wizardry) in the ability to visualize in 3D space - primarily as it relates to building structures, building envelopes, and building systems. Experience in Laser scanning, modeling from laser scans, flying drone missions and passion to test new construction technologies is required.
In this position you will execute the following responsibilities while reporting to the Florida Regional VDC Manager:
- Understand, promote, and implement VDC standards, processes, and technologies.
- Participate in ongoing collaboration among VDC personnel including the sharing of best practices and lessons learned.
- Lead the process of creating project-specific BIM Execution plans and the BIM implementation as defined by the plan.
- Generate and/or manage models for 3D trade coordination using Navisworks.
- Execute construction coordination utilizing the Navisworks clash detective. A successful candidate should be willing to look at all the building components holistically and understand what solutions are viable in the field. As an integrated (design-build) firm we emphasize the protection of design intent.
- Lead the MEPFP coordination process (including running meetings) using the company's workflow. We don't believe in two-hour-long coordination meetings or file management being a time commitment in this position; therefore, we utilize Autodesk Docs, Autodesk Glue, and Procore BIM to streamline the process. This takes a once/twice a week process and turns it into an automated revolving door leaving you to intellectually stimulating work that will actually be enjoyed.
- Perform constructability reviews and assist project teams with model reviews.
- Advanced modeling in Revit to support project teams. Ex: Ceiling grids, existing systems from a laser scan.
- Produce slab penetration drawings for field use.
- Manage and use other tools to facilitate project coordination, scheduling, programming, and collaboration platforms: Autodesk products (we have an enterprise suite, so play to your heart's desire), Bluebeam, Procore (including the BIM Suite), Sketchup, etc.
- Mentor VDC Engineers and Interns.
- Aid in maintaining group morale by planning and/or participating in team events, retreats, and conferences.
- Provide internal training to design and construction teams.
- Have a desire to tinker with research and development.
- Conduct yourself professionally but don't be afraid to have fun with your co-workers. We are an energetic bunch.
- Scanning experience with Faro and or Leica equipment
- Infraworks knowledge for site logistics
-
- Open to travel 10% of time
- Experience Processing and registering Laser scanner data.
- Field Layout experience is a plus
- BIM work scoping experience
- Business development skills
- Oversee the creation of animations and renders in project pursuit efforts.
- Work with the scheduling department for 4D Scheduling.
- Collaborate with Estimating in the use of 3D models for take-offs (5D).
- Develop/provide training at national, region, project, and individual level on operational technology, VDC and Field Engineering.
