About the role

A typical day

The work is flexible and remote, focused on providing strategic insights and introductions.

• Deep expertise in bridge asset management or transportation infrastructure management.
• Experience in asset ownership, engineering leadership, public works, or large-scale infrastructure portfolios.
• Well-connected in the North American infrastructure sector with access to key decision makers.

• Name the types of clients and decision makers you can introduce Niricson to (e.g., state DOTs, transit authorities, port authorities).
• Explain how you have previously helped a technology or services company enter the infrastructure market.
