Job Information
Burns & McDonnell Staff Digital Delivery Specialist - Power (Kansas City) in Kansas City, Missouri
Description
The Digital Delivery Specialist supports large-scale engineering and construction projects by developing and maintaining federated model workflows and the infrastructure that supports them. This role focuses on automation pipelines, system reliability, and model aggregation processes to ensure multidisciplinary models are consistently updated and available for coordination and design review. The digital delivery technology environment includes tools such as Smart3D (S3D), Civil 3D, Revit, Navisworks, Tekla, and CAD platforms from both internal and external sources. By improving the reliability and efficiency of federated model systems, this role enables project teams to spend less time managing models and more time solving engineering challenges.
Responsibilities:
Manage federated models used for multidisciplinary coordination across large engineering and construction projects.
Maintain and support automated master file workflows that generate Navisworks, IFC, and DWG deliverables from Smart3D (S3D).
Administer and maintain remote machines running batch processes for model federation and export workflows.
Monitor server performance and automation pipelines to ensure reliable operation and timely model updates.
Troubleshoot automation failures, model export errors, and infrastructure issues affecting federated model workflows.
Develop and implement standardized interference checking processes to support model coordination and design review.
Support development of a roadmap to migrate federated model automations to a dedicated standalone server environment to improve reliability and reduce traffic.
Identify opportunities to improve model aggregation workflows through scripting, automation, and process improvements.
Collaborate with project teams and technology leadership to improve digital delivery workflows and model management practices.
Evaluate and pilot emerging digital delivery tools and technologies that improve model coordination and project delivery efficiency.
Document automated workflows and provide guidance to project teams supporting federated model processes.

Experience supporting large industrial, energy, or infrastructure projects strongly preferred.
Experience supporting BIM, digital delivery, or model coordination workflows within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry strongly preferred.
Experience working with federated models and coordination platforms such as Navisworks strongly preferred.
Familiarity with Smart 3D (S3D), IFC workflows, and CAD-based deliverables strongly preferred.
Experience maintaining automated workflows, scripting processes, or batch automation systems strongly preferred.
Understanding of multidisciplinary model coordination and interference checking processes strongly preferred.
Experience supporting remote machines, servers, or virtual environments used to run automated workflows strongly preferred.
Strong troubleshooting skills related to automation systems, model pipelines, and digital delivery infrastructure strongly preferred.
Ability to communicate technical workflows and support project teams using federated models strongly preferred.
Ability to learn and effectively utilize new software programs.
Ability to execute and integrate digital delivery into EPC projects.
Advanced knowledge of digital delivery software, standards, and project deliverables.
Ability to integrate multiple BIM models across various software platforms.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
