Sr Applications Engineer will act as a liaison between other departments within Kiewit’s IT department, the users, and our business partners throughout the organization to implement various SmartPlant-related projects.
This position involves extensive application troubleshooting, installing new modules, deploying new applications, finding the root cause of issues (technical or functional), lots of documentation, working with the testing teams to make sure the application is doing what it needs to do, and proactively looking to make sure backups and other things are running as they should.
This person’s success will be measured by: Is our SmartPlant environment available, performing correctly, and are we deploying the new modules the business is asking for and meeting their needs?
