• Gain hands-on exposure to Trimble survey instruments and related software.

• Assist with processing point cloud data using Autodesk ReCap, Trimble RealWorks, or similar platforms.

• Support drone mapping workflows and the use of aerial data for construction planning, quantity tracking, and progress monitoring.

• Assist with creating 3D visualizations, renderings, and construction animations using Twinmotion or similar visualization tools.

• Support the development of 4D construction sequencing and scheduling models.

• Collaborate with project teams to visualize construction phasing, site logistics, and project progress.

• Explore emerging digital construction technologies and identify opportunities to improve project workflows.

• Collaborate with VDC team members, project engineers, superintendents, estimators, and field personnel to support project deliverables.

• Participate in model coordination meetings and project planning discussions.

• Assist in resolving model-related issues and improving communication between design and construction teams.

• Work closely with experienced team members to develop technical skills and industry knowledge.

• Contribute to a collaborative environment focused on innovation, efficiency, and continuous improvement.

• Assist with preparing project presentations, model coordination reports, and digital construction documentation.

• Maintain organized project files, models, and technical deliverables.

• Document VDC workflows, model updates, and coordination activities.

• Support reporting and communication of project progress to internal stakeholders.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Surveying, Architecture, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.

• Minimum 1 year of professional experience in VDC, BIM, construction modeling, digital construction, or a closely related technical role.

• Working knowledge of one or more Autodesk platforms, such as Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, ReCap, or Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).

• Foundational understanding of 3D modeling, construction drawings, model coordination, and BIM workflows.

• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, plans, and technical documentation.

• Familiarity with construction processes and an interest in field operations and technology integration.

• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and problem-solving abilities.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with project teams, field personnel, and technical professionals.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and standard business applications.

• Effective verbal and written communication skills.

• Willingness to learn new software, technologies, and construction methodologies.

• Self-motivated, adaptable, and eager to develop technical expertise within the construction industry.

The following qualifications are beneficial but not required:

• Experience or exposure to water/wastewater infrastructure, heavy civil construction, or industrial construction projects.

• Familiarity with multiple Autodesk applications, including Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks Manage, ReCap, and ACC.

• Exposure to survey instruments, construction layout, or Trimble technologies such as Trimble Business Center and WorksManager.

• Experience with laser scanning, point cloud processing, or reality capture technologies.

• Familiarity with drone mapping, aerial surveying, or FAA Part 107 certification.

• Exposure to 4D construction planning and scheduling tools such as Synchro or cmBuilder.

• Experience with Twinmotion, Unreal Engine, Unity, or similar visualization platforms.

• Familiarity with Dynamo, Python, or other programming and automation tools.

• Interest in artificial intelligence and emerging technologies within the construction industry.

• Previous internship, co-op, or professional experience supporting general contractors, engineering firms, or construction project teams.

• Hybrid office and field support depending on project requirements.

• Collaboration with multidisciplinary construction and engineering teams.

• Opportunities for hands-on learning and exposure to active construction projects.

• Some travel is required to support project coordination on-site and departmental activities in the office.

• Must possess a valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
