## ABOUT XYZ REALITY

────────────────────────────── XYZ Reality are the creators of the world's first and only engineering-grade Augmented Reality solution, purpose built for the construction industry. Not only have we created this holographic technology, that sits within The Atom — a smart, site-safe headset/hardhat — but we implement it on projects, utilising the power of AR to ensure that all schemes are completed in line with delivery timescales and budgets.

XYZ has grown to over 100 staff across the UK, US & Europe and is working with Mission Critical organisations & construction companies to successfully deliver major projects.

## THE ROLE

────────────────────────────── The VDC Manager is part of the Client Operations team, sitting within the Project Controls function and working closely with the BIM team.

You will be responsible for driving the effective integration of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) methodologies, BIM processes, and model-based workflows across projects — working closely with Deployment, Cost, Customer Success, and Technology teams to ensure BIM data and processes effectively support project delivery.

The role requires direct engagement with clients, contractors, and designers, and combines strong technical expertise in BIM/VDC and model management with the leadership and communication skills to set standards, mentor the team, and influence how AR technology is integrated across construction projects.

## KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

──────────────────────────────

- Lead the development and implementation of BIM/VDC standards, workflows, and processes across projects — managing the integration, preparation, and export of BIM models into the XYZ Project Controls platform to required quality and data standards.
- Develop and implement automation solutions, including Revit scripts and other tools, to improve efficiency, data quality, and consistency across BIM/VDC workflows; establish and maintain model quality control processes.
- Analyse BIM model data and element metadata to support project controls, progress tracking, quality management, and other project requirements.
- Work directly with clients, contractors, designers, and project stakeholders to understand their requirements and establish effective BIM/VDC workflows; provide technical guidance as the subject matter expert on BIM/VDC processes and model data.
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously — coordinating priorities, deliverables and deadlines — and lead the BIM/VDC team including task allocation, performance management, and technical development.
- Continuously identify opportunities to improve processes, automate workflows, and increase the efficiency and scalability of XYZ's VDC operations; contribute to the ongoing development of XYZ's BIM/VDC strategy and technology roadmap.

## REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

──────────────────────────────

- Proven experience in a BIM/VDC management role on complex construction or infrastructure projects.
- Strong technical proficiency in BIM authoring and management tools — Revit essential; experience with scripting or automation (Dynamo, Python, or similar) strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated experience developing and implementing BIM standards, workflows, and quality control processes.
- Experience working directly with clients, contractors, and designers in a client-facing project delivery environment.

## KEY EXPERIENCE & SKILLS

──────────────────────────────

- Strong understanding of model-based workflows, BIM data structures, and element metadata — able to translate model data into project controls insight.
- Experience integrating BIM processes with project controls functions such as scheduling, cost management, or progress tracking.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — comfortable presenting technical concepts to non-technical audiences including clients and senior leadership.
- Leadership and mentoring capability — able to develop a team's technical skills and hold a high standard across BIM/VDC practice.
- Experience with AR, XR, or emerging construction technology platforms — desirable but not essential.
- Familiarity with Mission Critical, Data Centre, or large-scale commercial construction projects — desirable.

## BENEFITS

────────────────────────────── 🩺 Private medical (incl. dental & vision) 🎄 Extra Christmas shutdown days 🏝️ 15 days PTO + public holidays 🏠 Hybrid working 🪙 Biannual salary reviews 🥳 Summer & Christmas staff parties 💰 Employee referral scheme 🚀 Make a real-world impact of revolutionising the construction industry

- **Project Controls Module**: Software for tracking progress, managing resources, and gaining real-time visibility into onsite activities to mitigate delays.
- **Offsite Prefab Module**: Validation tool for prefabricated components before they leave the warehouse, ensuring accuracy and reducing rework.
- **Quality Control Module**: On-site QA tool that catches errors and clashes early using objective, instant data from the field.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $37M across 6 rounds; annual revenue estimated at $1.4M (LinkedIn estimate)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not disclosed in public sources, but the company has delivered over $14B in combined project value for clients including global data center developers.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Engineering-Grade AR**: The Atom headset provides 5mm accuracy for BIM holograms, a level of precision unmatched by consumer AR headsets.
- **Real-Time Objective Data**: Replaces subjective progress reports with irrefutable field data, enabling proactive decision-making and de-risking construction lifecycles.
- **Proven ROI**: Documented case studies showing massive cost and time savings (e.g., 408 days saved, $135M+ in rework costs avoided, 10x ROI for a global data center developer).
- **End-to-End Platform**: Combines hardware (AR headset) with software (project controls, quality, prefab) in a single managed service, creating a sticky ecosystem.

## Strategic Focus
- Current priorities and direction for growth: Accelerating delivery of mission-critical projects (especially data centers, pharma, and airports); expanding global footprint (already in 19 countries); deepening portfolio-level intelligence for large developers; continuing to innovate on AR hardware and software integration to eliminate rework and reduce time-to-market for clients.

## Why Work Here
- Culture highlights: Startup culture where "everyone rolls their sleeves up and gets stuck in"; values innovation, drive, and disruption; strong emphasis on team building and wellbeing.
