You'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the successful delivery of Automated People Mover (APM) and other turnkey transportation projects across North America. Day-to-day, you'll work closely with cross-functional teams, including engineering, project management, and operations, to optimize processes, track progress, and support the Project Engineering Managers (PrEMs) in their technical and strategic responsibilities. You'll also contribute to process improvement initiatives and support the adoption of digital tools to enhance group performance.

• Preparing, updating, and organizing engineering deliverables and documentation structures
• Utilizing digital tools, including AI, to improve group performance
• Analyzing and harmonizing processes across projects, such as LOMs, engineering drawing hierarchies, and CDRLs
• Contributing to requirements management improvement initiatives
• Supporting tool transitions and acting as a liaison between PrEMs and tool owners
• Preparing cross-project engineering dashboards and summaries
• Consolidating KPI tracking, engineering progress, and risk/opportunity follow-up
