Job Description

Build. Lead. Innovate.

Get to Know Granger
At Granger Construction, we live by the Golden Rule. We build more than structures—we build relationships, careers, and communities. With a focus on innovation, inclusion, and continuous improvement, we empower our people to think differently, challenge the status quo, and make a lasting impact.

The Role
As a VDC Manager, you lead how projects come to life—before construction ever begins. You’ll guide digital coordination efforts, align teams around a shared vision, and ensure models translate into real-world success.

This role blends hands-on project support with leadership and strategy. You’ll work closely with project teams, design partners, and subcontractors while driving adoption, consistency, and innovation in VDC across Granger.

What You’ll Do
  • Lead VDC efforts across projects, including clash detection, coordination, sequencing, and visualization
  • Develop and manage BIM execution plans (BEPs) and ensure alignment with project goals and requirements
  • Facilitate coordination meetings and drive collaboration across designers, subcontractors, and project teams
  • Oversee model quality, ensuring compliance with contract requirements, design intent, and project standards
  • Partner with project leadership to define VDC strategies and support successful project delivery
  • Support preconstruction and estimating through model-based quantities and digital planning workflows
  • Guide subcontractor selection and alignment with BIM/VDC expectations
  • Train, mentor, and support team members in VDC tools, workflows, and best practices
  • Champion adoption of emerging technologies such as AR/VR, reality capture, and advanced modeling tools
  • Collaborate with IT and project teams to ensure tools and systems are optimized for performance
  • Continuously improve VDC processes, workflows, and standards across the organization

What Success Looks Like
  • Coordinated, clash-free models that reduce field issues and rework
  • Strong alignment across teams, improving collaboration and communication
  • Consistent, high-quality VDC deliverables across projects
  • Successful adoption of VDC tools and workflows across teams
  • Trusted leadership and guidance for both project teams and VDC staff
  • Continuous improvement in how we use technology to deliver projects

What You Bring to the Team
  • Strong understanding of construction, building systems, and project delivery
  • Proven experience leading BIM/VDC coordination efforts across projects
  • Proficiency in tools like Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, BIM 360, and related platforms
  • Ability to lead meetings, influence teams, and drive alignment across stakeholders
  • Strong problem-solving, organization, and communication skills

What It’s Like to Be Here
  • A collaborative, team-first environment where your voice truly matters
  • Meaningful work on projects that challenge you and help you grow
  • Opportunities to learn, innovate, and expand your impact
  • Support from leaders and teammates who are invested in your success
  • A culture grounded in trust, respect, and doing the right thing
