Solution Architect & Implementation Lead- Prefab Entities
SurePods™, Dallas, Texas, United States, 75215
Solution Architect & Implementation Lead – Prefab Entities
Design and implement technology solutions that streamline the prefabrication lifecycle, bridging business operations and technical design across DPR’s manufacturing and assembly operations.
Key Responsibilities
Design end‑to‑end technology solutions that streamline all aspects of the prefabrication lifecycle.
Collaborate with Program Managers and Business Analysts to define business requirements and translate them into functional designs.
Develop and maintain system architecture diagrams, data flow maps, and integration plans with the DPR Technology and Innovation (T&I) team’s enterprise architecture group.
Prioritize efforts based on Prefab Leadership’s current goals and initiatives; provide build vs. buy analysis, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with the Prefab Entities technology roadmap.
Provide technical direction and guidance to developers, vendors, and system administrators during implementation.
Lead the implementation phase of technology initiatives—turning solution designs into working, validated systems.
Manage internal and external resources or perform configuration, integration, and testing work required to bring the solution to life.
Coordinate activities across prefabrication shop‑floor teams, vendors, and DPR’s technology staff to ensure accurate setup, testing, and validation.
Plan implementation scope, milestones, and resources with Program Manager based on initiative complexity and scale.
Maintain productive vendor relationships, licensing needs/allocations, and contractual obligations.
Resolve technical and operational issues encountered during implementation, escalating where appropriate.
Serve as a manufacturing and prefab SME, ensuring technology decisions align with production realities and lean manufacturing principles.
Partner closely with operations teams to understand workflows, identify improvement opportunities, and validate solutions.
Facilitate working sessions and PAF/Prefab Entity onsite visits to ensure alignment between design intent and execution.
Advocate for operational needs within DPR enterprise initiatives.
Ensure solutions adhere to T&I’s governance standards and documentation practices.
Develop reusable templates, SOPs, and implementation playbooks to support scaling across entities.
Gather feedback and lessons learned to inform future roadmap planning.
Contribute to DPR’s Prefab Entities Integrated Work Group (iWG) by sharing insights and fostering alignment across operations.
Qualifications
5‑7+ years of experience in prefab, manufacturing, or construction operations, with at least 3 years in a technology implementation or systems design capacity.
Deep understanding of production planning, MES/MRP/ERP systems, and manufacturing workflows (preferably in modular, componentized, or single‑trade prefabrication environments).
Hands‑on experience implementing or integrating project management and MES systems such as CMiC, ACC, Offsight, Monday.com, Tekla PowerFab, or similar.
Strong analytical, facilitation, and communication skills with the ability to translate between operational and technical audiences.
Proven ability to both lead and execute implementation work depending on project needs and available resources.
Adaptable and flexible thinker around tools, systems, people, and processes as DPR continuously improves.
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Industrial Engineering/Technology, or Construction Management preferred.
Success Criteria
Technology solutions implemented successfully across prefab entities with measurable impact on efficiency, visibility, and throughput.
Strong engagement and adoption from operations teams across PAFs and Prefab Entities.
Clear documentation, process maps, and training materials supporting long‑term sustainability.
Demonstrated alignment between Prefab Entities and DPR enterprise systems through effective design and implementation.
Continuous feedback loop between operations and technology teams driving iteration and improvement.
