GIS Industry Solutions Specialist - Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)

Overview

As the AEC Industry Solutions Specialist, you will bring first-hand experience from the construction, engineering, and project delivery sectors to help shape and share Esri’s vision for how GIS transforms the way the built world is designed, constructed, and operated. This role emphasizes the construction lifecycle from planning and design through preconstruction, field execution, and operations and focuses on how location intelligence, digital twins, and integrated data environments enable safer, more efficient, and more predictable projects.

You’ll collaborate with Esri’s AEC Industry Manager and cross-functional teams (marketing, sales, product, professional services, and partners) to build awareness, foster engagement, and drive adoption of Esri technology across the global construction ecosystem. This includes creating compelling thought leadership, supporting industry events, and engaging directly with contractors, engineers, architects, and owners to showcase how GIS connects the jobsite to the office and the project to the planet.
