* CDM Smith is seeking a Senior Design Practice Technologist with a strong Bentley transportation design technology focus to join our Digital Engineering Solutions team. This individual will develop design practice initiatives to help advance transportation digital delivery and transformation by developing, governing, testing, and supporting Bentley-centered design standards, managed work spaces, Project Wise environments, and model-based delivery workflows aligned with state Department of Transportation (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).

The role emphasizes hands-on expertise with Open Roads Designer, Micro Station, Open Bridge Modeler, Open Rail Designer, Project Wise, Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, iModels, and Bentley managed workspace administration. Autodesk platforms may also be supported where business needs require, but Bentley transportation delivery, DOT workspace standards, and model-based design execution are central to this position. This role collaborates with project delivery teams, discipline experts, digital delivery leaders, and cross-functional technology partners to translate transportation delivery challenges into practical standards, workflows, training, QA/QC practices, and controlled rollout strategies that improve consistency, quality, and compliance across roadway, bridge, rail, and multidiscipline corridor projects.

This includes translating strategic objectives into actionable insights that align with broader digital strategies and evolving DOT digital delivery requirements.

The ideal candidate will have a proven record in the field of design practice and supporting Bentley-based transportation design and DOT-compliant digital delivery, with a mindset of continuous learning, practical problem solving, and curiosity that leads to tangible improvements in workspace quality, plan production, model deliverables, and project execution.

Under the direction of the Design Practice Manager, the duties and responsibilities for this position include:

+ Working on the cutting edge of Bentley transportation design tools and technologies, developing standards, processes, and workflows for Open Roads Designer, Micro Station, Open Bridge Modeler, Open Rail Designer, Project Wise, Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, iModels, Concept Station, and Bentley managed work spaces. Autodesk tools such as Civil 3D, Autodesk Forma, and Navisworks may be supported where they complement transportation digital delivery.

+ Support the nationwide strategy and implementation of digital delivery processes for transportation projects, driving adoption of model-based workflows and digital twins across the United States.

+ Collaborate with design teams, government agencies, subconsultants, and contractors to support Model as the Legal Deliverable initiatives, resolve technical challenges, and promote best practices in 3D modeling, quantity takeoff, and construction documentation.

+ Developing and maintaining consistent, documented Bentley standards, processes, workflows, and best practices for model-based transportation design, DOT-compliant plan production, digital deliverables, data exchange, and QA/QC practices in alignment with the broader digital enablement strategy.

+ Serve as a Bentley transportation design technology lead, supporting the development, governance, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting of managed work spaces aligned with state Department of Transportation standards, Project Wise environments, and digital delivery…
