SPW FTG​/VDC Solution Architect

Join to apply for the SPW FTG/VDC Solution Architect role at DPR Construction
.

The SPW VDC & FTG Solution Architect drives the digital strategy, tools, data structures and workflows that support Standardized and Optimized model‑based planning, coordination, layout, and installation across DPR’s Self‑Performed Work (SPW) groups.

This role blends technology strategy, solutions architecture, and field‑informed implementation, ensuring our digital ecosystem reflects how work actually happens—both in the model and on the jobsite. The leader acts as the bridge between SPW Operations and T&I resources, enabling high‑quality model‑based deliverables, reliable layout workflows, consistent use of field technologies, and clear visibility into Standard execution practices.

• Lead the strategy and execution of SPW digital workflows: coordination, modeling, digital layout, and field installation.
• Support portfolio management by helping define and sequence SPW initiatives based on operational need and strategic impact as confirmed by the SPW Leadership Team.
• Partner with the business to drive cultural adoption of Standard and Best Practice model‑based workflows, emphasizing practical, field‑ready execution using enterprise‑endorsed tools.
• Serve as a connector across Construction Technology, ensuring connected workflows between SPW VDC/FTG and other SPW Scopes, Prefabrication/Manufacturing, VDC and our entities.

• Design and document cohesive end‑to‑end repeatable workflows that link modeling tools, coordination processes, layout hardware, field applications, and SPW operational systems.
• Develop system architecture diagrams, data flow maps, and integration plans in partnership with T&I enterprise architecture.
• Evaluate and implement best‑in‑class solutions for modeling, layout, coordination, QA/QC, and field execution.
• Guide “build vs. buy” decisions, ensuring scalability, usability, and alignment with DPR technology standards.
• Streamline SPW VDC/FTG software stacks to reduce redundancy and improve reliability across projects.

• Establish and promote Standards & Best Practices for modeling levels of detail, naming conventions, data attributes, model health, digital layout, model‑based deliverables, survey workflows, and installation support.
• Drive consistency in how digital deliverables are prepared, published, and used by the PAF, Prefab Entities and /or the field.
• Ensure field technology platforms and hardware are properly integrated, maintained, and supported.
• Support cross‑scope coordination (Concrete, Drywall, SPW trades, Design to Build) to improve accuracy, minimize field clashes, and ensure clean model handoffs to the field.
• Enhance the collection and use of field data (as‑builts, production checks, verification) to strengthen visibility and decision‑making.
• Participate in Model‑to‑Manufacturing pilots that may be led by other CT teams.

• Lead implementation of new tools and workflows—including configuration, testing, pilot management, and rollout.
• Manage internal and external resources depending on initiative complexity.
• Partner with Program Managers to build executable implementation plans with clear milestones and resource needs.
• Establish sustainable support pathways with IT, vendors, and system admins after deployment.
• Manage licenses for applications with your scope.
• Ensure related Toolbox content is appropriate and current.
• Quickly resolve operational or technical issues during rollout and elevate when needed.

• Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for SPW VDC and FTG processes, ensuring technology decisions reflect real field operations and constraints.
• Host jobsite visits, workshops, and user sessions to gather input and anchor decisions in operational reality.
• Represent SPW needs in cross‑functional technology discussions with enterprise teams.
• Maintain strong relationships with vendors, ensuring the right mix of licensing, training, and support.
