Job Description

Parsons are looking for an experienced Smart Cities Digital Infrastructure Expert to lead the planning, design, and implementation of the Smart Lifestyle Destination digital infrastructure for the Smart Boulevard project. This includes developing the fiber backbone, end-to-end CCTV systems, IoT networks, and a smart city integration framework to enable scalable, secure, and sustainable digital services.

The role requires expertise in large-scale urban digital infrastructure projects and a proven track record in mega project delivery. The successful candidate will architect and deploy data-driven, visitor-centric, and operationally efficient smart city solutions while ensuring interoperability, resilience, and long-term sustainability.

Working with global technology partners, contractors, and cross-functional teams, the expert will shape the digital transformation roadmap of the client and ensure its position as a benchmark for smart city innovation.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead the design and deployment of fiber optic networks, ensuring high-capacity, secure, and future-ready connectivity across the Sports Boulevard.
• Oversee the planning and integration of CCTV systems (from field devices to command centers), including analytics, storage, and cybersecurity requirements.
• Define and implement IoT connectivity frameworks (sensors, devices, gateways, and platforms) for seamless integration of smart applications ((micro-)mobility, energy, security, visitor experience).
• Ensure end-to-end system integration, covering network design, interoperability, cloud platforms, and command-and-control architecture.
• Orchestrate the design and implementation of smart city use cases such as visitor management, smart lighting, predictive maintenance, crowd monitoring, and environmental sensing.
• Translate operational needs and urban planning goals into scalable technical solutions that enhance efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
• Oversee development, testing, deployment, and ongoing operational support.
• Provide strategic and technical leadership for digital infrastructure packages within the mega project framework.
• Manage vendors, EPC contractors, and solution providers to ensure on-time, on-budget, and high-quality delivery of infrastructure and systems.
• Oversee the full lifecycle: concept design, RFP development, technical evaluation, construction supervision, integration testing, and handover.
• Establish standards and guidelines for digital infrastructure, ensuring scalability, resilience, and compliance with international smart city norms.
• Define and enforce data governance, privacy, and cybersecurity frameworks for all digital platforms and smart city applications.
• Ensure alignment with sustainability goals, leveraging energy-efficient technologies and green ICT practices.
• Monitor and adopt emerging technologies (5G, edge computing, digital twins) to future-proof the boulevard’s infrastructure.
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, government authorities, and city planners on smart city infrastructure strategy.
• Collaborate with global technology partners to co-develop innovative, scalable solutions.
