Digital Delivery Manager (VDC)

Job Description

Job Description

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence . As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

About the Role

Crusoe is scaling next-generation data centers and modular infrastructure for the high-performance AI era. As the Digital Delivery (VDC) Program Lead , you will serve as a central anchor in executing Crusoe’s Digital Delivery Program across our entire portfolio of data center buildouts and modular projects.

Reporting directly to the Senior Manager of Construction Technology & Design, you will act as the owner-side Subject Matter Expert (SME), ensuring that our digital delivery guidelines, BIM tenant requirements, and owner standards are seamlessly implemented throughout the project lifecycle—from pre-construction and design through field coordination and facility handover.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a senior VDC leader who wants to step beyond traditional contractor coordination, shape owner-side standards from the ground up, and leverage cutting-edge technology on high-velocity, large-scale infrastructure projects.

Key Responsibilities

Program Alignment & Governance

• Support the Senior Manager of Construction Technology in enforcing, refining, and maintaining consistent owner standards across the entire DIG project portfolio.

• Serve as the primary owner-side point of contact for digital delivery matters, providing clear status reporting, metrics, and decision support to project executives and stakeholders.

• Manage CDE governance and project hosting in Autodesk Forma and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) .

• Strategize, track, and execute specific client/tenant BIM requirements to ensure complete compliance across projects.

• Participate in departmental strategic planning to help scale Crusoe's Digital Delivery roadmap.

Model Quality & Quality Assurance (QA/QC)

• Execute regular model validation and audit workflows to verify that design consultants and trade contractors strictly follow owner standards and Level of Development (LOD) requirements.

• Structure digital deliverables from day one to ensure a clean transition into commissioning, facilities integration, and long-term asset management (as-builts, asset metadata, AIR).

• Oversee the coordination process at a system level, ensuring clash detection, issue tracking, and resolution workflows function effectively to mitigate risk, eliminate field conflicts, and prevent rework. (Note: Contractors facilitate coordination meetings; you provide owner-side oversight, direction, and quality control.)

Project Execution & Collaboration

• Participate in design review and VDC meetings across all active portfolio projects, prioritizing tasks to ensure critical project milestones are met.

• Actively bridge design-phase engineering data with downstream trade coordination to prevent data loss.

• Mobilize quickly to support and execute project-specific workflows in a high-velocity development environment.

Technology & Innovation

• Stay ahead of industry trends and evaluate emerging VDC tools, technologies, and workflows that accelerate project delivery and improve asset data quality.

Minimum Qualifications & Experience

• Industry Experience: 7+ years of experience in the design and construction industry, with a strong focus on Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and BIM management.

• Platform Expertise: 7+ years of hands-on experience using Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and Autodesk Forma.

• Domain Knowledge: Proven background in complex large scale or mission-critical facilities, or complex high-tech infrastructure. Familiarity with data center terminology and MEP systems coordination is preferred.

• Technical Tool stack: Advanced, active user of industry-standard tools including Revit, AutoCAD, ACC (Forma, Build, Model Coordination), Navisworks Manage, Procore, and Bluebeam .

• Model Navigation: Fully proficient in flying through complex multi-discipline models in Navisworks Manage and ACC Model Coordination to evaluate design quality and coordination status.

• Industry Standards: Deep understanding of Level of Development (LOD) definitions, BIM standards, and the key distinctions between design models and trade/fabrication models.

• Communication & Leadership: Outstanding written and verbal communication skills with a proven track record of presenting complex technical data to project executives, design teams, trade contractors, and clients.

• Agility: Exceptional time-management skills with the ability to prioritize rapidly changing tasks in a fast-paced environment.

Ways to Stand Out

• Program-Building Mindset: You are energized by the challenge of building scalable frameworks, owner standards, and digital delivery workflows from the ground up.

• Emerging Tech Enthusiast: You actively explore and experiment with new technologies, such as virtual reality/reality capture platforms (e.g., Cupix) and AI-driven tools in construction technology.

• Owner-Side or general contractor VDC Experience: Prior experience representing the building owner or developer in managing VDC processes and trade teams.
