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.

Responsibilities

Partner with the AEC Industry Manager and cross-functional teams to drive Esri’s construction-focused industry strategy, connecting field workflows with design, asset management, and operations Develop and publish construction-centered content including webinars, case studies, white papers, and social media that demonstrates the impact of GIS in areas such as project coordination, scheduling, site logistics, field data capture, safety, and sustainability Collaborate with contractors, engineers, and technology partners to capture and communicate customer success stories that highlight measurable outcomes like reduced rework, better cost control, or improved situational awareness Support Esri’s presence at construction and infrastructure events (such as AU, CONEXPO, AGC IT Forum, IMGIS, and ESRI UC), organizing sessions, presentations, and networking opportunities that elevate GIS in AEC Build and nurture the AEC community through online platforms, partner collaboration, and user groups focused on construction innovation Provide insights on construction market trends, competitive technologies, and emerging digital delivery standards (such as ISO 19650, ASCE 38/75, openBIM, digital twins) Contribute to go-to-market and marketing campaigns that align with Esri’s AEC growth goals and showcase tangible ROI for construction professionals Serve as an internal advocate for the construction industry, helping Esri teams better understand jobsite realities, project delivery challenges, and data integration needs
