Principal Digital Delivery Specialist

Project Delivery Leader

We are looking for a project delivery leader who wants to improve the way complex infrastructure projects are planned, coordinated, and delivered. Based in New York City, this role will support major projects across the five boroughs, the wider New York metropolitan area, and the North America region. This is a market where transit reliability, rail capacity, airport access, water and wastewater resilience, coastal protection, energy transition, community impact, and delivery certainty all matter.

This role is for someone who understands how projects work in dense, highly coordinated urban environments; can bring people together across agencies, disciplines, contractors, and client teams; can plan the work; can solve problems; and can help project teams make better decisions through the practical use of digital tools, data, information management, BIM, GIS, automation, and connected delivery methods.

We welcome candidates with strong project delivery and project management experience who are ready to help teams work smarter, move with purpose, and deliver better outcomes for clients and communities. The right person will be curious, practical, collaborative, and confident working with technical specialists, project managers, discipline leads, public-sector stakeholders, delivery partners, and clients to turn complex New York delivery challenges into clear plans and better ways of working.

You will help project teams understand what they need to deliver, how information should flow, where digital methods can reduce friction, and how specialist digital workstreams should be planned and coordinated in fast-moving, multidisciplinary project environments shaped by dense urban conditions, complex interfaces, active assets, and high stakeholder expectations.

You will also participate in the leadership of the Digital Services team. This includes:
