Buildings VDC/BIM Manager (Digital Delivery Lead) - Cities & Places

Jacobs’ Cities & Places Northwest team is seeking a Building VDC / BIM Manager to support major building and infrastructure programs based out of our Boise, Idaho office. This role serves as a regional digital delivery and VDC leader, driving BIM strategy, coordination, and execution across complex, large-scale, multidisciplinary projects and programs.

This is a high-impact leadership role for an experienced VDC professional who excels at leading teams, scaling digital delivery operations, and driving project and organizational transformation, while partnering with clients, designers, and contractors to deliver coordinated, high-performing, and constructible outcomes that improve project efficiency and delivery performance.

In this key role, you will provide strategic VDC, BIM, and Digital Delivery leadership, aligning technologies, workflows, and execution strategies with internal and client goals. You will define digital delivery approaches for complex programs, including project setup, execution planning, and delivery of model-based deliverables, while helping advance Jacobs’ digital delivery capabilities across building-focused markets. You will also support consistency, scalability, and quality of digital delivery across multiple projects and programs.

As the VDC / Digital Delivery Lead, you will lead the development and implementation of BIM Execution Plans (BEPs) supporting EPCM delivery and complex project requirements. You will oversee advanced VDC workflows—3D coordination, 4D scheduling, and 5D cost integration—while ensuring alignment across design teams, contractors, and trade partners. You will define and manage the Common Data Environment (Autodesk Construction Cloud) and lead model coordination and clash detection strategies, driving resolution processes that enhance constructability, mitigate risk, and improve schedule and cost outcomes, while serving as a trusted BIM/VDC subject matter expert.

You will also provide leadership and mentorship to VDC/BIM professionals, drive model governance and QA/QC processes, and support model-based construction verification in the field. In addition, you will champion reality capture and scan-to-BIM workflows, support field teams through training and mobile technology enablement, and advance innovative digital delivery practices that improve efficiency and project outcomes across the full project lifecycle.
