BIM Manager-Glazing

Job description

Title: BIM Manager, Glazing Location: Greater Toronto Area Company: Triumph Group of Companies Role Overview The BIM Manager, Glazing leads the drafting and detailing function for Triumph's glazing division, starting out as a hands-on individual contributor with the mandate to build the function into a full team over time. You will produce and review shop drawings, fabrication packages, and BIM models for curtain wall, storefront, and glazing projects, using VDC (virtual design and construction) and BIM tools to catch clashes and coordination issues before they hit the field. You report to the Contracts Manager and work closely with estimating, project managers, and the shop floor to keep drawings accurate and on schedule. Early on, that means doing the drafting work yourself and setting the standards, templates, and workflows the division will run on as it grows. Once the team starts to build out, you will hire, train, and manage the drafters who join you. The people who do well in this role are comfortable working solo today while thinking two steps ahead about the department they are building. The ideal candidate has previously built or scaled a Revit/BIM drafting workflow at another company — not just worked within one someone else built. What We Offer Salary: $110,000 to $140,000 (commensurate with experience) Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision Three weeks vacation to start A ground floor opportunity to build and lead a new division as it grows Direct line to the Contracts Manager and senior operations leadership Exposure across multiple divisions (roofing, cladding, waterproofing, energy, restoration) at a diversified company Room to shape the tools, templates, and hiring plan for the glazing drafting function What You Bring to the Table Technical Skills Hands-on proficiency in VDC (virtual design and construction) modeling and BIM software such as Revit, with working knowledge of AutoCAD and Inventor — ideally at an advanced/expert level (family creation, parametric curtain wall/storefront families, sheet and template standards), not just day-to-day modeling Proven track record of developing, standardizing, and scaling Revit/BIM drafting workflows, templates, and family libraries at a previous company Experience training or mentoring other drafters on Revit/BIM standards and enforcing modeling consistency across a team Familiarity with model coordination/collaboration platforms (e.g., Autodesk BIM 360/ACC, Navisworks) for clash detection across disciplines Exposure to AI-assisted and agentic drafting/BIM workflows beyond basic AI drafting suggestions — e.g., using tools like Claude or custom agents/scripts to automate tasks in Revit via the Revit API, Dynamo, or pyRevit 5 to 8 years of experience in glazing, curtain wall, or fenestration drafting, including stick and unitized systems and extrusion design Ability to produce and review shop drawings, fabrication packages, and coordination models to a level that can go straight to the shop floor Understanding of building facade interfaces, waterproofing details, and how glazing systems tie into the broader building envelope Experience reading architectural and structural drawings and translating them into accurate, buildable glazing details Attributes You are comfortable being the only person in the seat today, and motivated by the chance to build a department around yourself You've stood up Revit/BIM standards or workflows before, and you know firsthand what works and what to avoid the second time around You're curious about how AI agents and automation can extend BIM workflows, not just speed up individual drawings You take ownership of your drawings and catch your own mistakes before they become field problems You communicate directly with estimating, project managers, and the shop, so nothing gets lost in translation You think ahead about process and documentation, not just the drawing in front of you You are patient enough to build something properly and driven enough to want it to grow Duties & Responsibilities Produce and review shop drawings, fabrication packages, and BIM/VDC models for glazing and curtain wall projects Coordinate with estimating and project managers to confirm scope, schedule, and drawing requirements before work begins Run clash detection and coordination checks against architectural and structural models to catch issues before fabrication Set drafting standards, templates, and file structures that the glazing division will use as it grows, including Revit templates, family libraries, and modeling standards specifically Review shop drawings and models for accuracy, buildability, and code compliance before release to the shop floor Work with the shop and site teams to resolve field issues and update drawings as conditions change Track drawing status and deadlines across active projects, flagging risks to the Contracts Manager early Support the transition between stick built and unitized systems and extrusion design where projects call for it Build the hiring plan, job descriptions, and onboarding process for future glazing drafters Recruit, train, and manage drafting staff once the division reaches the point of adding headcount Company Overview: Triumph Group of Companies Triumph Group of Companies is a diversified construction and infrastructure services organization supporting projects across multiple sectors.
