Senior VDC Manager

Job Overview The Senior VDC Manager, SAT, leads consistent digital construction delivery across multiple Skanska Advanced Technology projects, with emphasis on mission critical, data center, semiconductor and other high-tech facilities. The role translates portfolio standards into project execution, coordinates VDC work across offices, and manages shared resources based on project demand and specialist needs. In partnership with project teams and the National VDC organization, the Senior VDC Manager applies standardized software, processes, quality controls and governance while supporting exceptions required by clients, contracts or project conditions. Duties and Responsibilities: Lead VDC planning and delivery across multiple Advanced Technology projects, ensuring consistent execution across offices, project teams and client accounts. Develop project VDC plans aligned with Advanced Technology and National VDC standards, including defined deliverables, responsibilities, milestones, controls and escalation paths. Author and enforce BIM Execution Plans, company-wide modeling standards, LOD definitions, naming conventions, and data exchange protocols. Coordinate shared VDC resources across projects; forecast workload, identify specialist needs, resolve capacity conflicts and elevate portfolio-level resourcing risks. Facilitate collaboration among participating offices through common workflows, recurring delivery reviews, peer checks, shared templates and documented lessons learned. Partner with National VDC for software standards, licenses, specialist expertise, training, process updates and governance reviews. Lead federated model coordination, issue management, 4D/5D planning, site logistics, prefabrication support, reality capture, model validation and digital turnover as required by project strategy. Implement model and data QA/QC, health checks, version controls and compliance reviews; document and manage approved deviations from standards. Translate digital deliverables into practical field outputs that improve planning, installation, verification, safety, quality and turnover. Coach VDC Engineers and project personnel on consistent workflows, software best practices and disciplined use of shared project information. Track delivery performance, resource utilization, risks and outcomes across assigned projects and provide concise reporting to Advanced Technology and project leadership. Support pursuits and preconstruction with VDC narratives, staffing plans, constructability and logistics visualizations, and delivery assumptions. Coordinate pilots and improvement opportunities through established National VDC and digital governance rather than creating project-specific tools or processes in isolation.
