vConstruct is a construction technology company based in Pune, India. It specializes in providing services and solutions in Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), Project Controls Management, Accounting, Data Science and Analytics, and Software Development.
vConstruct, an entrepreneurial organization, has forayed into product development for construction by leveraging its deep understanding of construction processes and driven by our deeply rooted core value of Ever forward Spirit.
vConstruct made a commitment to this journey of product development by starting vC Labs in 2022. vC Labs is a dedicated team of people who come from the construction domain and technology domain to build solutions for problems we see in the construction management workflows by leveraging 3D web and mobile development, data science and analytics, AI/ML etc.
With a vision to transform the construction industry by the use of technology, we truly believe that we will bring upon the transition not just by services but by market facing products as well.
vC Labs team seeking a highly skilled QA Engineer (Construction Tech) to drive quality of the products we are building via manual and automation framework, who comes from construction domain background and experience in construction projects. This role will be pivotal in driving quality engineering practices across the product, leveraging AI to enhance test coverage, maintainability, and speed. The ideal candidate will and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities
Test planning and case writing translating acceptance criteria and user stories into concrete test cases before development starts. The output is a test case library covering happy paths, edge cases, and failure modes
Functional testing executing test cases against each build. Verifying the product does what it's supposed to do across the defined workflows. Example, for a construction planning tool this means: does model ingestion produce the right WBS, does the schedule import read correctly from XER, does the 4D simulation play in sequence, do quantities match what's in the model.
Exploratory testing unscripted investigation of the product looking for things no one thought to write a test case for. This is where domain knowledge is applied. A QA engineer who has worked on a jobsite will naturally probe the scenarios a pure software tester wouldn't think to try.
Defect reporting and lifecycle management logging bugs with enough detail that a developer can reproduce and fix without back-and-forth. Good defect reports include: steps to reproduce, expected vs actual behavior, severity, environment, and — in a construction context — the real-world consequence of the failure.
Regression testing — re-running existing test cases after each new build to confirm nothing previously working has broken. Initially, it is mostly manual; it gets automated progressively as the suite stabilizes.
UAT facilitation — preparing pilot users for acceptance testing, briefing them on what to look at, capturing their feedback in structured form, and triaging what comes back into actionable defects vs. feature requests vs. training issues.
Exit criteria enforcement — owning the gate between QA and UAT. Nothing moves forward until the QA sign-off conditions are met. This requires the QA engineer to have enough authority and clarity on what "done" means to hold the line when there's schedule pressure.
Environment and test data management — maintaining the QA environment, managing test model files and test schedules, ensuring the data used in testing is realistic enough to surface real issues.
Domain specific examples include
Own functional and exploratory testing across the full product — model ingestion, schedule data, 4D viewer, planning workflows, quantity extraction, etc.
Define and execute test cases for construction-specific scenarios: construction schedules, production rate validation, pull plan sessions, and short-interval planning cycles, quantification, constraint management, etc.
Validate model-based outputs against real project data like quantities, and durations must map correctly to what's in the BIM model.
Required Skills & Experience
3+ years in or adjacent to construction - VDC, BIM coordination, scheduling, project engineering, field supervision, or estimating.
Genuine familiarity with construction workflows: CPM scheduling, planning, trade coordination, production tracking.
Working familiarity with BIM tools - Revit, Navisworks, Tekla, or equivalent. You can open a model and know when something's wrong.
Strong written communication - defect reports should convey construction impact, not just what button was clicked.
Comfortable in early-stage environments: incomplete specs, shifting priorities, wearing multiple hats.
Excellent communication.
Good to have:
Hands-on experience with ACC (Autodesk Construction Cloud) or BIM 360 - model management, file coordination, issue tracking.
Familiarity with P6 / Oracle Primavera - running exports, understanding activity relationships.
Prior QA or testing experience, even informal - test case writing, defect lifecycle, regression thinking.
Exposure to Forge Viewer or any browser-based BIM viewer (NWC, IFC in web context).
Experience on concrete, steel, or MEP subcontractor teams.
Basic scripting (Python, JS) for test data setup or automation - not required, genuinely a plus.
