The Director partners closely with division and project leadership to support safe, efficient, and predictable project delivery while respecting division-level accountability for results.

Functional Leadership Scope

The Director of Technical Services has functional responsibility for:

• Field Engineering (field engineers and project engineering support)
• Construction Technology (BIM/VDC, digital tools, methods, and innovation)

These functions support all divisions and projects but do not replace project or division management authority.

Key Responsibilities

Field Engineering Leadership

• Provide functional leadership and oversight of field engineers and project engineering resources across all divisions.
• Establish consistent field engineering standards, roles, and expectations.
• Support constructability reviews, work sequencing, temporary works concepts, and execution planning.

• Lead enterprise construction technology strategy, including BIM/VDC, digital delivery tools, and execution-support systems.
• Drive adoption of improved construction methods, workflows, and technologies that enhance field productivity and reduce risk.
• Support initiatives such as prefabrication, modularization, and work packaging where applicable.
• Partner with operations, preconstruction, and project teams to ensure technology solutions are practical, scalable, and field-ready.
• Govern technology standards to avoid fragmentation across divisions and projects.

• Provide leadership over construction data analytics, including dashboards, KPIs, and performance reporting.
• Oversee development and use of Power BI and related analytics tools to support project and executive decision-making.
• Partner with Project Controls, Operations, and Finance to align data definitions, metrics, and reporting.
• Promote consistent use of data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement.

Technical Governance & Risk Management

• Establish and maintain technical governance frameworks supporting consistent execution across divisions.
• Support identification and mitigation of technical and execution risk.
• Partner with Quality and Safety teams to ensure technical requirements align with safety and quality objectives.
• Support commissioning, turnover, and closeout processes as applicable to project type.

Matrix Leadership & Talent Development

• Mentor and develop technical leaders, field engineers, technology specialists, and analytics staff.
• Support workforce planning and capability development for technical services functions.
• Foster collaboration and alignment across divisions while respecting unique market and execution needs.
