Role description:

Arcadis is seeking a Senior Management Consultant to join our Resilience Water Team and work on a variety of engagements with our Asset Management practice in the Mid-Atlantic region and nationally. This flexible hybrid role can be based out of our Arlington, Virginia or Hanover, Maryland offices. 

The Senior Management Consultant will have experience with technical delivery of asset management projects for the water and wastewater utility industry. Candidates should have a comprehensive understanding of industry-accepted asset management tools and techniques including asset management planning and gap assessments, asset inventory, condition and consequence-of-failure assessments, life-cycle cost analysis, O&M programs, and capital investment planning.

We are interested in candidates in the Mid-Atlantic Region, but for the ideal candidate this can be negotiated. The chosen candidate can expect to work independently as well as on teams staffed with management consultants, IT professionals, engineers, and scientists from various backgrounds, locations, specialties, and experience levels.  Some tasks, such as addressing requests for assistance, require a combination of technical and non-technical skills. In this position you will need a strong intellect, the ability to articulate complex ideas persuasively and a talent for establishing and solidifying relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.

The job entails various responsibilities related to asset management. This includes the development of strategic asset management plans, defining service levels, performance measures, and initiating business process improvement strategies. Collaboration with team members is essential to analyze utilities' operational business processes and identify decision support system solutions.

The role involves conducting consulting tasks such as business process analysis, maintaining asset registers/inventories, evaluating criticality, assessing conditions, and determining repair and renewal requirements. Additionally, analyzing extensive utility GIS, maintenance, data collection tools, or condition assessment databases is necessary to facilitate inspection, condition assessment, and planning programs.

The job requires evaluating utilities' asset management data and processes like asset inventories, asset management systems, likelihood and consequence of failure, remaining useful life, repair and renewal needs, and cost projections. Providing suggestions for enhancing operations and maintenance practices while implementing technology solutions to reduce asset life cycle costs is also a key aspect of the position.

Travel will be required for project site visits, client meetings, conferences, and other related activities.
