This position can be supported remotely or can be based out of any Atkins office within the United States.
BACKGROUND
Atkins is part of the SNC Lavalin Group of companies. SNC Lavalin and Atkins are global leaders in Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO). As such, we are aggressively growing our Digital Asset Management and Operations (DAMO) business to support both internal and external clients. This business combines leading technology capabilities with inherently deep engineering knowledge of assets and strong domain expertise in asset management and operations. Through this combination of capabilities, we help reduce costs, control risks, and improve whole life asset performance of critical infrastructure and other assets that we and our clients operate.
JOB DETAILS
The Asset Performance Management (APM) Leader will be responsible for defining, promoting and delivering our APM solutions as part of the broader Digital Asset Management and Operations (DAMO) group at SNC-Lavalin. Per Gartner, APM is “a market of software tools and applications for optimizing operational assets (such as plants, equipment and infrastructure) essential to the operation of an enterprise. Organizations invest in APM tools and technologies to reduce unplanned repair work, increase asset availability, minimize maintenance costs and reduce the risk of failure for critical assets.”
The APM Leader will be responsible for selecting key APM technology partners, defining our implementation methodology, developing re-usable service accelerators and IP, and promoting and delivering our APM offering. A key aspect of this role will be to work with our technology team to develop state of the art machine learning models to support APM capabilities within client organizations. These innovative algorithms and models will make intelligent and automated decisions in real time.
The role will collaborate closely with key functions, including engineering, sales, commercial and technology teams, across all SNC-Lavalin business sectors.
The ideal leader will combine expert knowledge of Asset Performance Management (including asset strategy and risk management, reliability centered maintenance, condition based maintenance, and predictive asset management, failure mode and effect analysis, etc), with basic knowledge of data analytics (including artificial intelligence, and machine learning).
