Digital Transformation and Delivery Lead - Environmental Remediation Sector

Digital Transformation and Delivery Lead - Environmental Remediation Sector

At AECOM, we're delivering a better world. Whether improving your commute, keeping the lights on, providing access to clean water, or transforming skylines, our work helps people and communities thrive. We are the world's trusted infrastructure consulting firm, partnering with clients to solve the world's most complex challenges and build legacies for future generations.

AECOM is seeking a qualified candidate to lead the digital delivery for the remediation business in US West, from setting the direction through to getting it done. It looks across the business to find where maturing how we use digital technology will make a real difference, whether that means new systems, getting more out of what we already have, or improving the way we work. It defines what needs to happen, what it will take, when, and the benefit it will deliver, and then leads delivery.

This is a do-and-lead role. The successful candidate performs hands-on solution work where needed and leads delivery through others where capability exists, scaling their own involvement to where the gaps are. They coordinate resources from across the business to support initiatives, in the manner of a delivery lead, without line-management authority. Delivery comes first; strategy and transformation set its direction.

The role works within corporate technology direction and standards, while making the case for new technology, including emerging capabilities like AI, where there is a strong reason to. It covers the full lifecycle, improving long-running programs as well as standing up new work. While it sits within the environment business, day-to-day direction comes from the regional Digital Director of Operations, who provides functional guidance and sets digital strategy and operational direction across all business lines.

Key Responsibilities

• Look across the remediation business to identify where maturing the use of digital technology will create value, through new systems, enhancement of existing ones, or improved business process.
• Define what needs to be done, the resources required, the timing, and the expected benefit, and present clear recommendations to leadership for decision.
• Set and evolve the digital roadmap, prioritizing initiatives by value, urgency, complexity, and available capacity.
• Align with corporate technology direction and standards, making the case for new technology, including AI, where there is a strong business reason to adopt it.
• Maintain a working view of market trends and digital practice to inform priorities for the remediation sector.

Minimum Requirements

• BA/BS and 8 years of experience, or demonstrated equivalency of experience and education, in digital delivery, digital transformation, or a related field.
• Successful candidate will undergo a background check

Preferred Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience spanning digital strategy or transformation and hands-on digital delivery.
• Demonstrated ability to both perform solution work directly and lead delivery through others, scaling involvement to where the need is.
• Hands-on experience configuring and administering Smartsheet, including Advanced Work Management (AWM).
• Experience configuring solutions across the Microsoft 365 and Power Platform ecosystem, including Power Apps, Power Automate, and SharePoint.
• Familiarity with the core platforms used in the environment business, including EQuIS, alongside Smartsheet and the Microsoft suite.
• Proven ability to set a digital roadmap and prioritize initiatives by value, urgency, complexity, and capacity.
• Experience building business cases and tracking realized benefits and value over time.
• Strong ability to operate with ambiguity, turning loosely defined needs into clear direction and delivered solutions.
• Proven ability to coordinate and direct matrixed resources in a delivery-lead capacity, and to bridge business and technical teams.
• Awareness of emerging capabilities such as AI and a practical view of where they create value in a regulated environment.
• Experience in environmental remediation activities, consulting, or management.
• Preferred time zones we would like candidates to live in would be Central or Mountain.
