Flex Vdc Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At CannonDesign we believe in leveraging data-driven solutions throughout our projects to improve outcomes. Our integrated BIM environment enables this process.  The digital technology manager is responsible for ensuring the digital health and delivery of the project or program. While this role requires technology expertise, the driving need of this role is to provide a strategic understanding of how technology (both new and existing) can be best leveraged on large complex projects. This involves being part of the project from the RFP phases (recognizing any digital requirements or opportunities to advance technology), to being part of the capture and contract phase (to recognize any onerous digital requirements or capitalize on technology capabilities) through the digital planning of the design, execution and delivery phase of the project or program.

• Identify and own project digital requirements, including BIM strategies, data exchange protocols, advanced model delivery, and digitally enabled workflows.
• Establish and oversee model management frameworks for large or complex programs, including audits, performance metrics, optimization strategies, and consistency across multiple teams or packages.
• Lead and facilitate digital coordination and client and consultant meetings (e.g., BIM/GIS coordination, clash detection, digitally enabled design reviews).
• Oversee software lifecycle compatibility, file version management, and data exchange strategies to ensure interoperability and efficiency within project team and consultants.
• Lead onboarding for CannonDesign and consultant team members, ensuring consistent understanding of digital strategy, workflows, collaboration platforms, and firm standards.
