Job Summary
QLM is hiring a VDC Manager for our client in Lubbock. You’ll lead the Virtual Design and Construction work for HVAC and plumbing, and you’ll still do hands-on modeling. You’ll manage a team of two VDC Specialists and run clash coordination on complex projects, including healthcare and data center work, usually valued at $5M and up. Your models go straight to the sheet metal fabrication shop and to our field crews, so your work shapes how we build. About 25% of our projects are design-build, which gives you a real voice early in the design.

- VDC experience with an MEP subcontractor or a general contractor
