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
