HDR is transforming the way Transportation infrastructure is planned, designed, coordinated, and delivered through model-based workflows, advanced BIM uses, and scalable digital delivery standards. As the Transportation Digital Delivery Manager, you will help shape that transformation by leading Area digital delivery strategy, supporting pursuit and project planning, and serving as a hands-on BIM and digital delivery leader for major transportation projects and programs.

This role blends strategy, delivery, innovation, and people leadership.

  • Standardize BIM, CDE, QA/QC, and model governance practices to improve consistency, reduce rework, and strengthen confidence in model-based deliverables.
  • Develop, mentor, and grow a multidisciplinary network of digital design leads and BIM managers, creating clear expectations, shared practices, and career development pathways.
  • Integrate advanced BIM uses such as 3D coordination/clash detection, 4D phasing, 5D estimating, digital twins, and digital asset management into project delivery.
  • Collaborate with Area, regional, and global leadership to align digital delivery strategy, establish consistent standards, share best practices, influence tool and workflow decisions, and support scalable adoption across transportation projects.
