Responsibilities:

Manage

• Develop and VDC project budgets and schedules
• Advise project teams on the use of BIM and Technology
• Measure & track successful use of technology on projects
• Maintain knowledge of industry trends related to construction technology
• Continuously update, train, and support processes VDC helped put in place for the efficiency of our field engineering, preconstruction, and operation teams, which can include, but not limited to, Assemble, point layout/layout files, reality capture (drones and 360 cameras), and digital closeout.
• Generate and maintain high quality BIM content for project teams
• When needed, run spatial coordination efforts with RO project teams & trade partners with the goal to facilitate the identification and resolution of issues found through clash detection and model constructability reviews.

People Management & Development

• Train and coach, your team such that they consistently set the highest standard of experience for our partners and customers and are personally and professionally fulfilled by their work.
• Assist with planning and lead execution of company and departmental goals/projects throughout the year.
• Create and seek out professional development opportunities for yourself & peers.

Communication

• We serve as conduits, sharing and exchanging information and ideas with those who we collaborate with and those who we serve. We translate the "I" in BIM through Model-Based Estimating, convey coordination issues, create visuals that tell the story of how we plan to build through logistics and 4D schedules, dive deeper into installation details through drawings we generate, and present plans that explain how we will execute a process. We help each other progress by sharing knowledge, experiences, and share those ideas to the industry through presentations and engagement in external organizations. We also contribute to the development of our builders and preconstruction specialists through training of tools and workflows that contribute to the effectiveness of their goals. Last but not least, we partner with our brand ambassadors to create deliverables that show and tell how we are Texas' Premier Builder.

Create

• We are creators in one way or another, whether it is creating deliverables that communicate information to/from the virtual world, generating our own model content when there are gaps in our coordination efforts, get creative with story-telling through animations, imagery, and videos, or simply, capturing the physical world through laser scanning and photogrammetry, to help us visualize, plan, and coordinate. There is a level of bringing things into existence in what we do. When we are presented new challenges, we come up with ways to overcome those challenges with new processes, and through our processes, we strive to synergize people, information, and ideas.

R&D Towards a Better Way

• We are keeping an eye out for opportunities to improve to achieve greater efficiency, stay current with times, overcome new challenges, or exploring new ideas that move us to the tip of the spear. We strive to provide "a better way" for ourselves, our peers, and our company.

Operations

• Provide thought leadership and data insight to Rogers-O'Brien and the industry through demonstrated knowledge of emerging trends in VDC technology, solutions, vendors, innovation leaders, and early adopters.

Leadership Attributes:

• Ownership and Attention to Detail - You are thorough and following through is personally important to you. If you are asked a question, you will work hard to find the correct answer.
• Empathetic - You can put yourself in others' shoes to understand their experience from their perspective.
• Good Listener - You seek to understand first before being understood.

• Reliable - You do not mind getting into a 9-5 routine. You have a personal need to see projects through to the end.
• Technical Aptitude - You know the answer or know how to Google your way to a solution.
• Comfortable with Ambiguity - We work in a fast-paced environment that is continuously changing. The way forward is not always black and white, but we must decide to move forward and then adapt, as new information becomes available.
• Team Player - When you have direction, you have no problem charging ahead, but you also aren't afraid to raise your hand if you encounter something that's over your head—no one knows everything, and we all have to support each other. Vulnerability is a great leadership trait.
