Senior Digital Designer

As a Senior Digital Designer, you will lead model-based design delivery for transportation and linear infrastructure projects. You will establish practical digital design workflows, guide model authors, coordinate multidisciplinary model information, and help project teams deliver consistent, high-quality models and model-derived outputs aligned with project and client requirements. This position will provide digital design leadership primarily for transit and freight rail work while coordinating model-based delivery across disciplines and project teams. In the role of Senior Digital Designer, we'll count on you to: • Serve as digital design or modeling lead for small to large projects or for a major discipline, corridor, facility, or segment of a megaproject. • Lead development, coordination, and delivery of complex 2D and 3D design models and associated design data from project setup through final delivery and closeout. • Coordinate the translation of engineering direction, survey and existing-conditions information, calculations, design criteria, and multidisciplinary requirements into consistent model-based design solutions. • Translate project requirements into model breakdown structures, file architecture, naming conventions, model responsibilities, information exchanges, level-of-development and level-of-information need expectations, and delivery milestones. • Lead or coordinate development and implementation of the Digital Delivery/BIM Execution Plan, including BIM uses, model responsibilities, information requirements, model production and delivery tables, and delivery milestones. • Lead federated model and multidisciplinary coordination reviews; establish issue-management processes, assign resolution responsibilities, and verify closure of clashes, gaps, data issues, and workflow constraints. • Lead model-based quality reviews, model health assessments, and audits for compliance with client, project, and HDR requirements. • Oversee model-derived plans, sheets, quantities, visualizations, data exchanges, and construction-support information to maintain consistency among approved design intent, models, and published deliverables. • Evaluate and apply managed workspaces, common data environments, automation, interoperability methods, and emerging technologies that improve quality and efficiency. • Collaborate with project managers and technical leads to define and manage digital design scope, fee, schedule, staffing, quality, risks, and delivery expectations. • Provide formal technical guidance and mentoring to digital designers and model authors; share repeatable practices and help resolve complex modeling and coordination issues. Preferred Qualifications • Associate or bachelor's degree, technical degree, or certificate in civil engineering technology, engineering, geomatics, digital design, CAD/BIM, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience. • Advanced experience delivering model-based roadway, rail, transit, aviation, bridge, utility, site, or other linear infrastructure design. • Understanding of transportation design concepts, engineering drawings, spatial relationships, file organization, model standards, and document-management practices. • Advanced proficiency or certification in relevant Bentley, Autodesk, or other transportation design and coordination platforms. • Experience working in common data environments, such as ProjectWise or Autodesk Forma and implementing CAD/BIM standards, model-based quality processes, and multidisciplinary coordination workflows. • Experience exchanging information across CAD, BIM, GIS, analysis, visualization, and document-control platforms, reality capture, GIS integration, clash detection, 4D sequencing, model-based quantities, visualization, digital twins, or digital asset information. • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and communication tools, with strong attention to detail, organization, collaboration, and written and verbal communication skills. • Preference given to candidates in the Mid-Atlantic (VA/MD/DC) Area • #LI-MJ1 Qualifications Required Qualifications • Technical degree or a combination of education and related industry experience • A minimum of 5 years related industry experience • Advanced skillset of 3D design software and document management infrastructure • Advanced skillset of 3D Coordination tool • Competency of Microsoft Office products and communication tools • Advanced understanding of engineering or architectural concepts • Knowledge of industry standards and practices, along with discipline codes and specifications • Excellent communication skills, attention to detail and organizational traits are essential
