Field Layout: Generate points and run total station/robotic layout (Trimble/Leica) for sleeves, embeds, hangers, racks, and equipment; verify elevations, slopes, and tolerances.
Clash Coordination: Lead/participate in coordination meetings; track issues, create RFIs, and drive timely resolutions with GC, design team, and trades.
Installation Support: Produce spool sheets, installation details, and pull sheets; ensure material readiness, accurate takeoffs, and field-ready information.
QA/QC & Commissioning Support: Perform in-field checks against plans/specs; assist with testing, start-up, and turnover packages; keep redlines current.
VDC-to-Field Workflow: Convert model data into practical work packages and look-ahead plans; align with superintendent/foreman on daily priorities.
Data Capture: Perform laser scans/point clouds (where applicable); reconcile scans to model for clash avoidance and progress verification.
Reporting & Controls: Track quantities, earned vs. spent hours (basic productivity metrics), and update weekly progress photos/logs.
Safety & Compliance: Follow site safety protocols (JHAs, PPE) and enforce model/field changes through approved processes.
QualificationsEducation/Experience: BS in Construction Management, Engineering (ME/EE/CE), Architecture, or equivalent and 2-5 years in BIM/VDC or field engineering (MEP or GC). Strong craft/field exposure may substitute for degree.
