• Ensure SPI data governance, integrity, and alignment with Zachry standards.

Engineering Systems Support

• Set up and maintain project CADD system environments across Zachry Engineering centers.
• Translate models and deliverables between different CAD systems and formats.
• Support execution of project IT implementation plans and work instructions.
• Provide on-call support, troubleshooting, and resolution for engineering systems.
• Configure, test, implement, and upgrade tools to enhance design efficiency and collaboration.

Data Management & Handover

• Collaborate with stakeholders to define data handover strategies and timelines.
• Ensure instrumentation data is accurate, complete, and aligned with project standards.
• Facilitate data handover processes to clients and construction teams, ensuring compliance with contractual and regulatory requirements.
• Support the development of data handover packages, including SPI deliverables, metadata, and documentation.
• Monitor data quality and implement controls to ensure consistency across systems.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead and organize work plans and priorities for assigned team members.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to ensure technical excellence and productivity.
• Coordinate with stakeholders to specify and plan project design systems.
• Maintain contact with internal and external clients for issue resolution and clarification.

Documentation & Training

• Identify training needs, develop documentation, and conduct user training sessions.
• Create solution reference documents including configuration guides and deployment manuals.
• Monitor systems to ensure reliability and compliance with data standards.

Continuous Improvement & Governance

• Analyze workflows and recommend software solutions and process improvements.
• Define and support standards and work practices for efficient project collaboration.
• Maintain software inventory and manage vendor relationships.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of methodologies and technologies.

What You Will Need:

• Extensive knowledge of SmartPlant Instrumentation and proven experience supporting it from an administrative standpoint.
• Associate’s degree, or relevant experience in CADD design, computer science, or engineering.
• Minimum of 8 years’ experience supporting multi-discipline engineering projects with 2D/3D CADD systems.
• Advanced understanding of EPC lifecycle, engineering workflows, and data management.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to manage and influence others diplomatically.

What Is an Added Plus?

• Bachelor’s or higher degree in a related field.
• Experience in a lead role supporting large EPC projects (>$500M).
• System administrator-level knowledge of platforms such as: 
  • SmartPlant Instrumentation, SmartPlant 3D, CADWorx
  • Autodesk (Plant 3D, Civil 3D, ACC, Navisworks)
  • Bentley (OpenPlant, Microstation, ProjectWise)
  • Aveva (E3D, P&ID, Engineering)
• Experience with Advanced Work Packaging and process improvement initiatives.

Physical Demands:

• Ability to communicate effectively in person, via phone, and email.
• Manual dexterity and coordination required for system interaction.
• Light domestic and potential international travel may be required.
