Digital Delivery Specialist - Facilities Management

The Digital Delivery Specialist will leverage the transformative power of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to drive innovation and efficiency across every project. Within the Facilities Management group, we are dedicated to utilizing data-driven insights to enhance collaboration, streamline processes, and uphold the highest standards as we advance toward a digital future. By embracing emerging technologies such as BIM, Facility Information Modeling (FIM), and Digital Twins, MD Anderson Cancer Center is committed to pushing the boundaries even further in our relentless pursuit to End Cancer.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center is to eliminate cancer in Texas, the nation, and the world through outstanding programs that integrate patient care, research and prevention, and through education for undergraduate and graduate students, trainees, professionals, employees and the public.

SUMMARY
The primary purpose of the Digital Twin Operator I position is to develop, manage, and execute MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Data Science initiative for the Facility Division through Digital Twins. Enabling data science-enabled insights for decision-making, these digital representations of buildings are used to provide real-time insights, and predict possible outcomes for building performance overtime. This technology connects smart building data and structures in a single platform tracking the facility’s performance, monitoring maintenance requirements and resolving operational issues.

JOB SPECIFIC COMPETENCIES
Monitoring and Maintenance:  Ability to analyze very complex assets (equipment and spaces) and building systems. Continuously monitoring the performance and health of both the physical asset and its digital twin to ensure accuracy and reliability. Communicate areas of improvement or otherwise to BIM, Program Manager to ensure BIM Program aligns priorities and BIM Standards to support Digital Twin effort.

 Data Integration:  Integrating data from various sources, including IoT devices, sensors, and external systems, into the digital twin. Ensuring MD Anderson CMMS data structure is present and mapped to critical assets and systems.

 Analysis and Optimization:   Analyzing data to optimize operations, improve performance, and predict potential issues before they occur.

Simulation and Testing:   Running simulations to test different scenarios and their impact on the physical asset without risking real-world consequences. Assess maintenance schedules for equipment to setup cadence of such reporting and communicate to critical stakeholders in the support of preventative maintenance.

Updating Models and MDA Facilities Template:   Regularly updating the digital twin model(s) to reflect changes in the physical asset or system, ensuring the twin remains a true representation. Regularly updating MDA Facilities Template, MDA classification system and ensuring alignment with Equipment Matrix team. Creating or updating associated parameters required based on project needs and mapping parameter to asset(s). Creating, updating and managing Inventory structure, filters and data to meet CMMS needs.

Technical Support and Training:   Monitoring, diagnosing and communicating issues in  the physical asset by using the insights gained from the digital twin. To translate the digital metadata to the real work to critical stakeholders is key. Must be able to work with various teams, including engineering, IT, building systems/building automation and operations, to leverage the digital twin for decision-making and strategic planning. Generating reports and maintaining documentation related to the digital twin’s performance, updates, and outcomes according to MD Anderson standards. Ability to assist with training sessions as required on Digital Twin platform.
