Virtual Design and Construction Coordinator

Job Description

Job Description

About the Role

An established commercial electrical contractor is seeking a VDC (Virtual Design and Construction) Coordinator to support Building Information Modeling efforts across active construction projects. This role suits someone who has worked the trade in the field and wants to bring that hands on knowledge into a modeling and coordination capacity. The ideal candidate understands how electrical systems actually get built, not just how they look on a screen.

This is a hybrid role in the sense that it blends technical modeling work with practical field logic. Success depends on being self-driven, comfortable under deadline pressure, and able to move between independent work and team collaboration without missing a beat.

Required Background

Candidates must meet one of the following thresholds. Applications that don't meet either will not move forward:

• A minimum of 5 years working as a commercial electrician in the field, or
• A minimum of 2 years working specifically as a VDC Coordinator for an electrical contractor, building commercial electrical models in Revit

In addition, completion of a registered electrical apprenticeship program (IBEW/AEJATC or comparable) is required.

Core Technical Skills

• Strong working knowledge of Revit, with the ability to model conduit, equipment, supports, and related electrical components
• Experience coordinating trades using clash detection and BIM collaboration platforms
• Comfort with field markup and layout tools used to translate models into buildable output
• Exposure to modular construction and prefabrication workflows
• Solid computer skills, particularly around file organization and version control across active projects
• Familiarity with model coordination software used to align electrical systems with mechanical, plumbing, and structural trades (a plus)

What This Person Will Actually Do

• Take direction from VDC leadership and project leads to build out complete electrical models in Revit
• Translate contract drawings, specifications, and NEC code requirements into accurate model detail
• Sit in on trade coordination sessions to resolve clashes between electrical and other building systems
• Produce shop drawings, install drawings, and prefabrication packages the field team can actually use
• Keep as-built models current and accurate for the full duration of each project

Who Thrives Here

• Someone detail oriented enough to catch errors before they become field problems
• A clear communicator who can talk to both internal team members and outside clients without losing precision
• Someone who can juggle multiple project deadlines without dropping the ball
• A person who came up through the trade and still thinks like an electrician, even while working in a modeling seat
