BIM Lead / VP – Production

BIM Lead / VP – Production
Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat — 100% In-Office (Candidates from anywhere in India welcome to apply; relocation to Ahmedabad required) Experience: 8+ Years (Multi-Discipline BIM Production & Team Leadership) Employment Type: Full-Time | Minimum 2.5-Year Service Commitment (Employment Bond + Strict NDA applicable) Reports To: Founder / CEO
About Us
BIM Expert Studio is a fast-growing BIM and CAD outsourcing company based in Ahmedabad, India, delivering Architecture, Structural, MEPF, and Scan-to-BIM production services to Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) firms, building surveyors, and MEPF/General Contractors across the United States. We work across multiple project types and disciplines with a production team built to scale.
We're looking for a hands-on BIM Lead / VP – Production to own end-to-end technical delivery, build and lead our modeling team, and become the technical backbone of the company as we scale production capacity.
Role Summary
This is a senior, hands-on leadership role — not a purely managerial one. You will be the final technical authority across every discipline we serve (Architecture, Structural, MEPF, Scan-to-BIM), responsible for making sure any project that comes in from a US client — regardless of discipline or project type — can be delivered correctly, on time, and to US AEC documentation standards. You will also build out the production bench itself: hiring, training, and developing modelers and drafters as the team scales.
Key Responsibilities
Own end-to-end technical delivery across all disciplines — Architecture, Structural, MEPF, and Scan-to-BIM — for every incoming client project, regardless of discipline or project type.
Review incoming project scopes from US clients and determine discipline, LOD, staffing, and timeline requirements.
Set up and enforce BIM Execution Plans (BEPs), modeling standards, and QA/QC checkpoints for every project.
Directly model, troubleshoot, or unblock any discipline when the team hits a technical wall — you should be able to open any file and solve the problem yourself.
Hire, onboard, and train BIM modelers and drafters across disciplines as the team scales; build internal training/SOP material for new hires.
Allocate resources and manage capacity planning across multiple concurrent projects and deadlines.
Run multi-discipline coordination and clash detection reviews before deliverables go out.
Act as the primary technical point of contact for US clients on project-specific queries, scope clarifications, and escalations.
Standardize templates, families, and content libraries across disciplines to improve production speed and consistency.
Mentor and develop team leads under you so the production team can eventually run with less day-to-day involvement from you.
Track and report production KPIs (turnaround time, rework rate, capacity utilization) to leadership.
Maintain strict confidentiality of client data, drawings, and business information at all times.
Technical Skills Required1. Architectural BIM
Full concept-to-Construction Documents (CD) production: floor plans, elevations, sections, RCPs, schedules, and detailing

AutoCAD / AutoCAD MEP
Navisworks Manage (clash detection and 4D sequencing)
Autodesk Recap / Recap Pro (point cloud processing)
BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud
Civil 3D (added advantage)
Dynamo or other BIM automation/scripting tools (added advantage)
MS Project and Excel for scheduling and resource tracking
6. Standards, Process & Coordination
BIM Execution Plan (BEP) development and enforcement
LOD (Level of Development) specification, assignment, and QA
Familiarity with US AEC documentation standards (AIA/NCS conventions)
Working exposure to ISO 19650 principles
Multi-discipline clash detection and resolution workflows
Standardizing templates and content libraries across projects and disciplines
7. Leadership & Team Management
Hiring, onboarding, and training BIM modelers and drafters
Resource allocation and capacity planning across concurrent projects
Production quality control and deadline/SLA management
Direct client-facing communication with US-based AEC clients
Mentoring team leads and building internal training material/SOPs
Managing any vendor or subcontracted production resources, if applicable
Requirements
Minimum 8 years of hands-on BIM/CAD production experience, with demonstrated exposure across at least three of the four core disciplines (Architecture, Structural, MEPF, Scan-to-BIM)
Prior experience leading or building a production team (hiring, training, and managing modelers/drafters)
Experience working with or delivering to US-based AEC clients strongly preferred
Strong written and verbal English communication for direct client interaction
Based in or willing to relocate to Ahmedabad for a 100% in-office role
