Position Summary: We are looking for a Senior IT Tools and Automation Engineer with strong experience in enterprise IT automation with a preference for background in architectural and engineering (AEC) industry's technology ecosystem. This role will be instrumental in streamlining infrastructure operations, optimizing software deployments, and automating workflows to support design, modeling, and project delivery platforms across architecture, engineering, and construction teams. This position offers the flexibility of a hybrid schedule with the expectation of 3 days per week in our Chicago office, and 2 days remote from home. Key Responsibilities: Design and implement automation solutions to improve the efficiency, scalability, and consistency of IT systems across all internal applications and AEC project environments. Develop scripts and custom tools to automate common tasks including software deployment (e.g., Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks), license management, and digital twin integrations. Manage and enhance IT toolsets used for monitoring, system provisioning, configuration management, and job scheduling. Collaborate with BIM, VDC, and design technology teams to ensure seamless automation across platforms like Hexagon Smart Plant, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Bentley ProjectWise, Bentley Open Plant, or similar platforms. Create standardized, reusable automation workflows for software packaging, workstation provisioning, cloud operations, on-premises server operations, server patching, and remote collaboration environments. Integrate disparate systems and tools using scripting, APIs, and automation platforms. Lead and contribute to projects focused on Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines, and cloud automation. Work closely with IT operations, security, and development teams to identify automation opportunities and implement solutions. Monitor the performance and availability of on-premises and cloud virtual desktop infrastructure such as VMs, Hypervisors, Desktop clients (VMWare Horizon, Citrix etc.), storage systems, and critical network and security components. Maintain clear documentation of systems architecture, automation scripts, and operational procedures. Support compliance with IT governance, security, and data management policies relevant to large-scale infrastructure and federated project environments. Mentor junior engineers and assist in building automation standards and best practices across the IT team. Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in information technology, Computer Science, Engineering Technology, or a related field. 7+ years of experience in IT automation, with a minimum of 1-2 years supporting AEC software environments. Strong scripting ability with PowerShell, Python, or Bash to automate system and application workflows. Hands-on experience with infrastructure automation tools such as Ansible, SCCM, or Terraform, Puppet, Chef, Jenkins, or similar. Experience with CI/CD tools and version control (Git/GitHub/GitLab). Familiarity with deploying and managing Autodesk tools (AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks), Bluebeam, Rhino, or Bentley software (MicroStation, ProjectWise), or Hexagon software (Smart 3D, Smart PID etc.). Experience with IT monitoring tools (e.g., PRTG, SolarWinds) and license server management (e.g., FlexNet). Experience with virtualization and VDI (VMware Horizon, Citrix) commonly used for AEC workflows. Preferred Qualifications: Knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS) used in AEC design delivery, including file collaboration and rendering workloads. Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration. Exposure to scripting automation for project collaboration platforms like BIM 360 or ACC. Soft Skills: Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting skills, especially in fast-paced project environments. Strong communication skills to interface with cross-functional teams including architects, engineers, and IT stakeholders.
