About Roots Studio, M&P:

Roots Studio, M&P empowers mechanical and piping trade contractors to deliver projects with greater efficiency and precision. We leverage VDC and BIM from design assist through construction and fabrication, streamlining workflows to save time, reduce material waste, and minimize labor costs. Whether we're optimizing coordination, supporting fabrication, or enhancing constructability, our team turns complex mechanical and piping challenges into opportunities for smarter, faster builds. If you're passionate about driving efficiency in the built environment, Roots Studio, M&P is where you can innovate, grow, and help shape the future of construction.

Why This Role Exists

Modern commercial and industrial construction demands far more than accurate models-it requires digital leadership that improves constructability, reduces risk, and drives better decisions before work reaches the field. This role exists to own that challenge for mechanical and plumbing systems. As project complexity, speed, and coordination demands increase, the organization needs a VDC leader who can bring clarity to ambiguity, integrate BIM from design through construction, and elevate both project outcomes and team capability. The timing is critical as project volume and sophistication continue to grow.

The Career Opportunity

This is a career move for a VDC professional ready to expand beyond individual contribution into broader technical and people leadership. You'll grow by leading distributed teams, influencing BIM/VDC standards across the organization, and partnering directly with clients and trade contractors on complex, real-world challenges. The role offers long-term upside into senior VDC leadership or strategic digital delivery roles, with exposure to diverse systems, projects, and global collaboration.

What You'll Be Asked to Accomplish

• Lead end-to-end BIM/VDC execution for multiple mechanical and plumbing projects, ensuring models are coordinated, constructible, and aligned with construction sequencing from early design through the field.
• Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing VDC team that can deliver consistent quality across concurrent projects and time zones.
• Act as a trusted advisor to clients and trade partners, using BIM insights to proactively resolve issues, guide decisions, and improve project outcomes.
• Advance BIM/VDC standards, training, and innovation by improving workflows, sharing best practices, and piloting new digital or AI-enabled approaches that raise efficiency and quality.

You're Likely a Strong Fit If

• You have a bachelor's or master's degree in Engineering, or a similar discipline
• You have 5+ years of experience providing implementation, training, and support in BIM and VDC and working for a plumbing and/or mechanical trade contractor
• You have have managed 2-3 detailers
• You have experience in combining and coordinating BIM updates, running clash detection on revised components and communicating results to internal and external stakeholders
• You have experience modeling, drafting, producing drawings, and reading mechanical and plumbing plans
• You have the capability to work effectively in a self-directed way within an extremely fast-paced, ever-changing environment
• You can manage multiple simultaneous projects requiring frequent communication, organization, time management, and problem-solving skills
• You can read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and contracts
• You have a proactive and flexible attitude; willingness to take an "all hands on deck" approach
• You can work some early/late hours to coordinate with project teams in other countries
• You have experience in leading online meetings and training sessions across remote project teams using platforms
• You have experience with software such as AutoCAD MEP and/or Fabrication CADMEP

Why Strong People Say Yes

Strong performers are drawn to this role because of the combination of technical challenge, autonomy, and visible impact. The team values collaboration, practical problem solving, and professional growth, and leadership supports innovation rather than rigid process. Projects are meaningful, expectations are high, and the work directly influences how buildings are actually constructed-not just modeled.

Application information

During the application process, you'll be asked to outline a key project you've led in M&P coordination. Think about one that is something similar in scope, complexity, or business impact to the challenges described in the job description.
