Job Overview:

Position Summary

The Director of Technical Services provides enterprise-level leadership for Field Engineering, Construction Technology, and Construction Data Analytics across Primoris Energy Services’ four operating divisions: Industrial, Power Generation, Civil Site Development, and Water & Mechanical.

Operating within a matrix organization, this role functions as a corporate technical leader responsible for standardizing execution practices, enabling field teams, and improving project performance through disciplined engineering, technology adoption, and data-driven insights. The Director partners closely with division and project leadership to support safe, efficient, and predictable project delivery while respecting division-level accountability for results.

Functional Leadership Scope

The Director of Technical Services has functional responsibility for:

  • Field Engineering (field engineers and project engineering support)
  • Construction Technology (BIM/VDC, digital tools, methods, and innovation)
  • Construction Data Analytics (reporting, dashboards, Power BI, performance insights)

These functions support all divisions and projects but do not replace project or division management authority.

Key Responsibilities

Field Engineering Leadership

  • Provide functional leadership and oversight of field engineers and project engineering resources across all divisions.
  • Establish consistent field engineering standards, roles, and expectations.
  • Support constructability reviews, work sequencing, temporary works concepts, and execution planning.
  • Act as the senior technical escalation point for field and project engineering challenges.
  • Partner with operations leadership to ensure field engineering efforts directly support project safety, quality, schedule, and cost objectives.

Construction Technology & Technical Innovation

  • Lead enterprise construction technology strategy, including BIM/VDC, digital delivery tools, and execution-support systems.
  • Drive adoption of improved construction methods, workflows, and technologies that enhance field productivity and reduce risk.
  • Support initiatives such as prefabrication, modularization, and work packaging where applicable.
  • Partner with operations, preconstruction, and project teams to ensure technology solutions are practical, scalable, and field-ready.
  • Govern technology standards to avoid fragmentation across divisions and projects.

Construction Data Analytics & Performance Insights

  • Provide leadership over construction data analytics, including dashboards, KPIs, and performance reporting.
  • Oversee development and use of Power BI and related analytics tools to support project and executive decision-making.
  • Partner with Project Controls, Operations, and Finance to align data definitions, metrics, and reporting.
  • Promote consistent use of data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Ensure data solutions are focused on execution insight—not just reporting.

Technical Governance & Risk Management

  • Establish and maintain technical governance frameworks supporting consistent execution across divisions.
  • Support identification and mitigation of technical and execution risk.
  • Partner with Quality and Safety teams to ensure technical requirements align with safety and quality objectives.
  • Support commissioning, turnover, and closeout processes as applicable to project type.

Matrix Leadership & Talent Development

  • Serve as a functional leader in a matrix organization, influencing project and division teams without direct line authority.
  • Mentor and develop technical leaders, field engineers, technology specialists, and analytics staff.
  • Support workforce planning and capability development for technical services functions.
  • Foster collaboration and alignment across divisions while respecting unique market and execution needs.

Qualifications

Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline.
  • 15+ years of experience in industrial, power generation, and civil construction.
  • Proven experience leading field engineering, technical services, or execution-support functions across multiple projects or divisions.
  • Strong understanding of construction execution, constructability, means & methods, and field operations.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead functional teams in a matrix environment.
  • Experience partnering with operations and project leadership at senior levels.
  • Willingness to travel to project sites as needed (approximately 1 week per month).

Preferred

  • Experience with construction technology platforms (e.g., AutoDesk Construction Cloud, Bluebeam, P6, BIM/VDC tools).
  • Experience with construction analytics and visualization tools such as Power BI.
  • Background in a large, diversified contractor or EPC organization.

Working Conditions

  • Office-based role located in Houston / Pearland, TX, with regular project site visits.
  • Exposure to active construction environments.
  • Must comply with all Primoris safety policies and procedures.
