SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
BIM MANAGER
Building on the rapid advancement of the Starship program, SpaceX is moving into a new phase of facility and infrastructure growth. We are seeking a BIM Manager to own Building Information Modeling strategy, standards, and delivery for fast-paced, multi-disciplinary projects. This role leads in-house BIM execution and external design consultants from early design through construction and as-built handover, so models stay coordinated, constructable, and useful to the teams building them.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Own BIM delivery for multi-disciplinary, multi-site facility projects, including architectural, structural, and MEP models, from design through construction administration and as-built closeout
- Set and enforce BIM standards, protocols, naming conventions, model QA/QC, and coordination workflows for in-house teams and external design consultants
- Lead federated model coordination, clash detection, and constructability reviews, and drive issues to resolution with design, construction, and project leadership
- Manage the transition of BIM workflows from third-party providers to in-house operations, including data migration, process documentation, templates, and team training
- Lead and develop BIM Specialists and modelers, set priorities, review work product, and serve as the primary BIM point of contact for internal customers and consultants
- Maintain a living project model with design and construction teams that culminates in an accurate as-built of each facility
- Direct production of construction documentation, quantity takeoffs, and visualizations that support bidding, procurement, and field execution
- Identify software, automation, and process improvements, including scripting and cloud collaboration, that increase speed and model quality
- Represent BIM in cross-functional reviews, inform design decisions, and flag coordination and schedule risks early
- Partner with project leadership on BIM scope, consultant performance, and the information needed for handover and long-term facility use
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- High school diploma or equivalency certificate

- Experience directing external design consultants and aligning their models to project standards
- Experience managing a BIM team, or acting as the technical lead responsible for other modelers’ output, standards, and training
- Multi-discipline modeling experience across architecture, structural, and MEP
- Experience in aerospace, high-tech manufacturing, industrial, or other mission-critical facilities
- Strong understanding of construction means and methods, and the ability to use that knowledge to make models constructable
- Proficiency with Dynamo or similar automation, and with cloud collaboration platforms such as Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360
- BIM certification, such as Autodesk Certified Professional in Revit (Architecture, Structure, or MEP) or an AGC BIM certificate
