  • The Senior BIM/VDC Engineer is expected to provide both management and design skills in support of a detailed and accurate BIM model for the Gigafactory.
  • Responsible for proper set up and maintenance of large, federated building models typically involving 8-10 design and engineering disciplines and at least 8-10 manufacturing process models. Projects are typically cloud-hosted and span across multiple internal and external design teams in different geographies and time zones.
  • Directly responsible for the coordination model produced by the Design Team, Trade Contractors and other third-party vendors under their direction. 
  • Responsible for integrating the work of both the layout team and various tool-line owners working on a given project as well as coordinating the efforts of the design team using the model for planning and conceptual work.
  • Hand off the completed model/as-built to their facilities counterpart to maintain for future projects.
  • Scope of responsibility will include overall accuracy & completeness of the models, physical & operational spatial coordination, and timely implementation and resolution of any issues according to an aggressive schedule.
  • Work with engineers, trades, and designer professionals to develop an integrated model delivery approach and lead clash detection sessions with a focus on optimizing the construction process and driving quality and value.
