We are results-driven, creative solution finders and enjoy putting ourselves in our clients' shoes. Build the System That Builds the Experts VIATechnik is looking for a Process Pipe BIM expert who wants to multiply their impact globally. Instead of modeling projects one at a time, you will design and lead the training system that elevates the technical capability of our entire mechanical pipe BIM organization across the U.S. and Metro Manila. This is not a project delivery role. This is a standards-setting, capability-building, global leadership role. Why This Role Is Different You won't just teach software. You will: • Define global modeling excellence standards, • Reduce onboarding time for new detailers, • Improve QA pass rates and eliminate preventable rework, • Create scalable training systems that improve performance across continents, • If you're a top-tier process piping BIM professional who enjoys coaching, system-building, and technical rigor, this role represents a major career move. The Challenge Within your first year, you will: 1. Launch a Global Process Pipe BIM Training Program Design and implement a structured curriculum covering P&ID interpretation, constructability-driven routing, pipe supports, fabrication standards (ASME B31.1/B31.3), QA discipline, and sequencing logic. Your program will be adopted across both U.S. and Manila teams and demonstrate measurable skill progression. 2. Reduce New Hire Ramp-Up Time Analyze current onboarding gaps and implement targeted training interventions that accelerate production readiness without sacrificing quality. 3. Improve QA Outcomes Across Teams Develop and deploy a structured self-QA framework that improves routing accuracy, fabrication alignment, material matrix consistency, and model integrity - reducing rework and raising global modeling standards. What You'll Actually Do • Create clear, repeatable Revit-based process piping standards documentation, • Lead classroom and hands-on technical workshops, • Teach modeling sequencing discipline and constructability logic, • Implement self-QA training systems, • Build structured material matrix development frameworks, • Partner with Learning & Development to create scalable global training assets, • Pilot at least one AI-enabled workflow to improve QA validation, sequencing accuracy, or modeling efficiency Who Thrives Here You are likely a strong fit if you: • Have deep hands-on experience modeling process piping systems in Revit, • Understand fabrication standards and constructability implications, • Have trained, mentored, or coached other detailers, • Enjoy building systems, not just executing tasks, • Thrive in standards-driven, quality-focused environments, • Are comfortable traveling internationally and working cross-culturally Career Move - Not Just a Job This role moves you from individual contributor to global capability architect. Instead of delivering models, you will deliver performance improvement across an international organization - shaping how process piping BIM is taught, executed, and scaled. If you're ready to elevate from expert modeler to global technical leader, please apply. Compensation and featured benefits: • The pay for this position is $95,000 – $130,000, and the role is eligible for bonuses. The actual salary offer may be different as we carefully consider a wide range of factors, including your skills, qualifications, location, and experience, • Health insurance with the choice of five plan options. We cover 70-95% of premiums for VIATechies and 65% of the premiums for dependents (depending on the plan chosen), • Dental and vision insurance.
