• Proven ability to define standards, document processes, and lead adoption across diverse project teams.

Preferred / Differentiating Qualifications 

• Hands-on experience with Project Information Management (PIM) strategies on large, complex, or regulated projects.

• Experience leading cloud-hosted engineering systems and migrations (Azure and/or AWS).

• Background supporting Transportation, Federal, and Aviation client and agency requirements and highly regulated environments (CMMC, FedRAMP, IDL, etc.)

• Software-specific certifications or advanced training related to engineering data management, cloud platforms, or digital delivery tools.

Why This Role Is Different

This role is not a support-only systems position. It is a senior, influence-driven leadership role that blends engineering, IT, cloud, and data governance to shape how projects are delivered. The Systems Engineer III operates where technology decisions materially affect risk, compliance, cost, and client trust.
