AECOM is seeking a highly experienced Senior Design Manager/Technical Advisor to join our team. This role can be done on a "hybrid" basis--meaning, a combination of work from home and work out of any of our Ontario offices. This position is for a newly created position.
Job Summary:
We are seeking an individual with a strong engineering background, expertise in owner's engineering, a proven track record in underground subway station design, familiarity with LEAN design and construction methods, and experience in Progressive Design Build (PDB) or Design-Build (DB). The ideal candidate will also actively participate in working groups on behalf of the owner to review, discuss, and contribute to design decisions.
Major Responsibilities:
Owner's Engineering Leadership:
Leverage extensive experience in engineering to oversee the review of design deliverables, ensuring compliance with owner requirements, industry standards, and regulatory guidelines.
Collaborate closely with the owner's engineering team to provide valuable insights and recommendations, particularly in the context of underground subway station design.
Design Compliance Review:
Methodically review design documents for underground subway stations, ensuring adherence to stringent compliance standards, safety regulations, and owner specifications.
Implement and manage quality control measures to guarantee the accuracy and completeness of design deliverables, with a focus on project-specific output specifications and performance specification requirements.
RFI Coordination:
Take responsibility for coordinating responses to RFIs, working closely with project teams and stakeholders to address inquiries and ensure timely and accurate responses.
Collaborate with the design team to incorporate RFI responses into the overall design process while maintaining compliance with project requirements.
Shop Drawing Reviews:
Oversee the review of Shop Drawings, ensuring they align with project specifications, compliance standards, and design requirements.
Collaborate with project teams and contractors to facilitate the timely review and approval of Shop Drawings.
Progressive Design Build (PDB) or Design-Build (DB):
Bring experience and expertise in Progressive Design Build (PDB) or Design-Build (DB) methodologies to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the design and construction processes.
Collaborate with project teams and contractors in the successful implementation of PDB or DB approaches for subway station projects.
LEAN Design and Construction Methods:
Demonstrate familiarity with LEAN design and construction methods, utilizing these principles to optimize project workflows, reduce waste, and enhance overall project efficiency.
Active Participation in Working Groups:
Represent the owner in working groups, actively participating in discussions, and contributing to design decisions.
Collaborate with stakeholders, designers, and project teams to ensure alignment with owner objectives and project goals.
Project-Specific Output Specification and Design Manual:
Lead the development of project-specific output specifications, performance specifications, and design manuals for underground subway station projects.
Ensure that design processes align with established specifications and contribute to the creation of comprehensive design documentation.
Collaborative Leadership for Subway Station Projects:
Lead and inspire the design team in creating solutions that align with engineering excellence, project specifications, compliance requirements, PDB/DB methodologies, and LEAN principles.
Foster a collaborative environment that seamlessly integrates compliance considerations, innovative project delivery approaches, and active participation in working groups.
Project Management for Underground Infrastructure:
Manage the design process for underground subway stations, ensuring compliance with owner expectations, regulatory requirements, safety standards, and PDB/DB principles.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to address unique challenges associated with underground design and ensure timely project delivery.
