Strategic Advisor – Bridges and Transportation Infrastructure
Location: Independent Contractor - Remote
About us
At Niricson, we are redefining the future of civil infrastructure maintenance. Using proprietary sensing technology and AI-powered analytics, we help asset owners make smarter, faster, and safer decisions for critical infrastructure such as bridges, dams and spillways, tunnels, airfields, and more.
As we scale across North America and beyond, we are seeking experienced, well-connected industry advisors to guide our growth, validate our approach, and connect us with the people and problems that matter most.
About the role
We are looking for a Strategic Advisor with deep expertise in bridge asset management or transportation infrastructure management. Ideally, someone with experience in asset ownership, engineering leadership, public works, or large-scale infrastructure portfolios. The advisor will be expected to provide information on how specific clients make decisions, who the key decision makers are, and when key opportunities are expected to be announced. The advisor may also provide information on proper positioning and messaging to key decision-makers.
This is a flexible, advisory engagement. You will work closely with Niricson’s Chief Sales Officer and leadership team to provide strategic insights, industry credibility, and introductions that accelerate our market penetration and alignment with customer needs.
This role is perfect for someone semi-retired, transitioning from public service, or consulting independently, who wants to remain engaged in the industry in a meaningful capacity.
Key Contributions
Provide strategic information on proper messaging, decision-makers, and bidding opportunities for clients
Advise on engagement strategies with municipal, provincial, and federal infrastructure bodies
Offer industry insights on market trends, procurement processes, and regulatory considerations for positioning Niricson’s Product
Support credibility-building with potential clients (e.g., participate in key meetings, webinars, and white papers)
Introduce Niricson to relevant stakeholders and potential partners, including public works departments, ministries of transportation, and engineering consultants
Collaborate on industry events, speaking opportunities, or roundtables where relevant
Offer independent feedback on product-market fit and key customer pain points
Provide introductions to key decision makers and leadership
Who You Are
15+ years of experience in bridge inspection, transportation infrastructure, public works infrastructure, asset management, or public sector leadership
Former Director, Executive, or Asset Owner in a relevant agency or organization
Deep understanding of government procurement processes and operational realities of asset management
Respected in the industry, with an established professional network
Strong communication skills and the ability to act as a trusted advisor
Comfortable working independently under a services agreement (not as an employee)
Engagement Structure
This is an independent contractor role and is not considered employment under Canadian law.
As such:
You will enter into a subcontract for services with Niricson
You will invoice for your time collaborating with the team
You are responsible for your own tax filings, business registration, and applicable insurance
What We Offer
A chance to influence the future of civil infrastructure and condition maintenance
A collaborative and respectful leadership team that values your expertise
Flexible, remote engagement
Competitive advisory compensation structure
Opportunity to help shape safer, longer-lasting infrastructure around the world
Diversity and Inclusion
Niricson values the unique experience of professionals from all backgrounds. We strongly encourage expressions of interest from equity-deserving groups, including indigenous peoples, racialized individuals, women, persons with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
We’re a close-knit, mission-driven team that celebrates curiosity, diversity, and excellence.
