Job description

This is a remote role within the United States. US work authorization is required.

About VIATechnik:

VIATechnik is the global leader in Virtual Design and Construction. We have over 400 digital experts around the globe. The firm's services include Virtual Design & Construction (VDC), Building Information Modeling (BIM), Virtual & Augmented Reality, Digital Twins, and Enterprise Software Application Development.

We work on some of the industry's largest and most interesting projects such as Apple's new headquarters, Virgin Hyperloop One, Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) modernization & expansions, Denver International Airport, Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Hudson Yards, the Atlanta Falcons Stadium, Chase Arena, the Tesla Gigafactory and many more. Our team is made up of leading VDC professionals, technologists, architects, and engineers who have a passion for solving problems and a thirst for learning. We are results-driven, creative solution finders and enjoy putting ourselves in our clients' shoes.

Shape the Future of Digital Construction Quality

We're looking for a BIM / VDC QAQC Manager to lead quality across our global digital delivery teams. This is a high-impact role responsible for ensuring that every model, drawing, and coordination output we produce is accurate, consistent, and truly buildable.

If you're driven by precision, passionate about BIM innovation, and ready to influence construction outcomes at scale, this is your opportunity to define what "quality" looks like across an international organization.

Why This Role Matters

In this role, you won't just review models-you'll build and lead the systems that ensure project success before construction even begins. You'll act as the quality authority across regions, aligning teams, standards, and tools to deliver coordinated, clash-free, construction-ready models.

Your work will directly reduce RFIs, minimize rework, and improve predictability across complex projects worldwide.

What You'll Do

Lead Global BIM QAQC Strategy

  • Design and implement a standardized QAQC framework across all offices and projects
  • Establish workflows, review gates, and quality benchmarks aligned with industry standards

Ensure Model Quality & Constructability

  • Oversee model audits, clash detection, and constructability reviews
  • Ensure compliance with LOD/LOI requirements, naming conventions, and data standards
  • Validate that models are fully coordinated and ready for construction

Build Team Capability

  • Mentor and train BIM coordinators and modelers on QAQC best practices
  • Elevate global team performance through coaching, tools, and structured processes

Drive Continuous Improvement

  • Develop QAQC dashboards and reporting to track performance and trends
  • Lead initiatives that improve quality, efficiency, and consistency across projects

Innovate with Technology

  • Explore and implement AI, automation, and rule-based checking tools
  • Reduce manual effort while increasing accuracy and scalability of QAQC processes

What Success Looks Like

  • Projects consistently deliver coordinated, compliant, construction-ready models
  • Rework, clashes, and revisions are significantly reduced
  • Teams achieve higher first-pass approval rates
  • Leadership has clear visibility into quality metrics and performance trends
  • QAQC becomes a scalable, standardized strength across all global offices

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of BIM/VDC experience with strong knowledge of electrical systems and construction practices.
  • Expert proficiency in Autodesk Revit and Navisworks for model authoring, auditing, and clash detection.
  • Proven experience auditing federated models for accuracy, constructability, and compliance with LOD/LOI, naming conventions, and BIM standards (ISO 19650 / BEP / EIR / CDE workflows preferred).
  • Exceptional attention to detail, with a track record of building and enforcing QA/QC frameworks, checklists, and reporting dashboards across multiple teams or offices.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to coach modelers and collaborate with project managers, leads, and field teams across global, multi-office environments.

What You'll Gain

  • The opportunity to own BIM quality at an enterprise level
  • Exposure to global teams and complex, high-impact projects
  • The ability to shape standards aligned with emerging technologies and industry frameworks
  • A career path that goes beyond project execution into strategic leadership and innovation

The Bottom Line

This is more than a QAQC role-it's a chance to define how digital models translate into real-world construction success. You'll bring structure to complexity, clarity to coordination, and confidence to every project we deliver.

If you're ready to lead BIM quality on a global stage, we'd love to hear from you.
