Job Title: Licensed Journeyman Electrician – Transition into BIM/VDC

Location: Lawrence, KS (in-office only)
Pay Rate: $30/hr, DOE (with advancement opportunities)

Company Overview

At VDC Specialists , we merge field expertise with cutting-edge construction technology. Since 2018, we’ve supported over 30 million sq. ft. of data centers, hospitals, labs, airports, and stadiums for some of the nation’s largest electrical contractors. Our mission: build practical, buildable digital models that crews can trust in the field.

Now, we’re looking for licensed journeyman electricians who are ready to bring their field knowledge into a new environment — one that’s less physical but equally impactful.

Position Summary

This role is designed for a licensed journeyman electrician who has spent years in the field (bending conduit, pulling and terminating wire, interpreting one-lines and specs) and is ready to transition into a BIM/VDC (Building Information Modeling / Virtual Design & Construction) role.

You’ll trade your tools for a desk, applying your NEC expertise and field intuition to ensure our models match real-world installations. Don’t worry if you’ve never opened Revit or Navisworks — we’ll train you on the software. What matters is your hands-on field knowledge, problem-solving ability, and openness to learning technology .

Key Responsibilities

• Apply your field experience to validate electrical models for accuracy and constructability
• Review and confirm homerun circuit groupings, one-lines, layouts, and box sizing
• Flag NEC compliance issues (voltage drop, derating, conductor sizing, etc.) before they reach the jobsite
• Collaborate with modelers, designers, and contractors to minimize errors and rework
• Learn and operate BIM tools (Revit, Navisworks, Bluebeam) with provided training
• Participate in project coordination meetings and provide field-informed insight
• Document findings, issues, and recommendations clearly for project teams

Qualifications

• Licensed Journeyman Electrician (Kansas or reciprocal state license) – required
• Multiple years of on-site electrical experience (commercial/industrial preferred)
• Proficient in: bending conduit, pulling/terminating wire, validating plans and specs
• Strong knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
• Comfort with reading/validating one-lines, specs, and engineered drawings
• Openness to learning computer software (basic computer literacy required; we’ll provide training)
• Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset

Why This Role is Different

• Less physical, more strategic : Put down the tools, but keep using your field knowledge every day
• Career growth : Pathways to lead teams and move into senior BIM/VDC roles
• Stability & schedule : Monday–Friday, 8a–4p, office-based in Lawrence, KS
• Impact : Help shape models that directly reduce rework and wasted labor on multimillion-dollar projects

Compensation & Benefits

• Pay: $30–38/hr (DOE), with growth opportunities
• Paid Health Insurance
• Paid Holidays & PTO
• Retirement Plan with Company Match (no vesting schedule)
• Overtime Pay
• Performance-based Bonuses

Schedule

• 8-hour shift, Monday–Friday (8a–4p)
• In-office only (remote work is not available)

How to Apply

If you’re a licensed journeyman ready to leverage your experience in a new way, please send your resume and a brief note about your interest to aknapp@vdcspecialists.com .
