• Mentor AI engineers and collaborate with civil engineers, utility specialists, and GIS/BIM specialists to bridge domain knowledge with AI capabilities.
• Establish best practices for model validation, versioning, explainability, and compliance with relevant engineering and data standards.
• Evaluate and introduce emerging AI technologies (e.g., LLMs, generative design, reinforcement learning) applicable to geospatial and infrastructure challenges.
