W.E. O'Neil is looking for a VDC Engineer to lead Virtual Design & Construction at the project level.

This is a hands-on role for someone who likes being close to the work. You'll run the project's technology, not just support it, and your coordination will shape what gets built in the field.
This position reports to the Regional VDC Manager, and you'll collaborate with project teams, Marketing, Business Development, and IT.
