- Support the setup and execution of the Proof of Concept by tracking tasks, dependencies, and validation activities for key use cases and data flows
- Assist in planning and tracking the transition from PoC to a production‑grade environment, including platform build, integrations, testing, and go‑live readiness
- Support the organisation and tracking of post‑implementation support activities, including warranty services, incident and problem management, and minor enhancements
- Assist in planning and coordinating training and knowledge transfer activities, and in collating feedback to improve client adoption
- Prepare draft status reports, presentations, and other project communications for review by the Project Manager and presentation to Parsons and client stakeholders

- Exposure to solutions that integrate ArcGIS with enterprise and operational systems (e.g., CMMS/EAM, ERP, BIM, SCADA/IoT platforms, data warehouses/lakes)
- Basic understanding of systems integration concepts and technologies (APIs, web services, message queues, event‑driven architectures)
- Familiarity with data and information architecture concepts, particularly geospatial, time‑series, and asset/linear network data
- Awareness of building data models for analysis or simulation is an advantage
- Experience working within multidisciplinary, multinational teams across multiple time zones
- Strong organisational and coordination skills, with some experience in project planning and control (scope, schedule, risks, issues), preferably using formal methodologies (e.g., PMI, PRINCE2, Agile/Hybrid)
- Exposure to testing, acceptance, or go‑live activities for complex or integrated systems
- Excellent communication and documentation skills, with the ability to clearly convey technical information to non‑technical stakeholders
