About Cameron Schaefer

As HDR’s Transportation Technology Director, I’m dedicated to shaping and implementing a robust technology vision for our transportation infrastructure practice. My role involves championing the development and application of digital solutions—such as AI, GIS, Digital Delivery, automation, and high-performance computing—to drive efficiency, innovation, and quality in how we design and deliver transportation projects.Over my 15 years at HDR, I’ve focused on bridging the gap between cutting-edge technologies and practical project needs, establishing best practices and proven workflows that foster seamless collaboration. This approach has enabled me to help deliver some of North America’s largest infrastructure programs more effectively and with greater impact.A recognized thought leader in digital transformation, I’ve presented at numerous industry conferences and received accolades from Esri, Bentley, and Autodesk, including being named a finalist for Autodesk’s International Innovator of the Year Award, receiving an esri SAG award, and winning the Bentley Year in Infrastructure Going Digital Award. By connecting the dots between data, technology, and collaborative and innovative teams, I strive to push boundaries, drive meaningful change, and ultimately create better outcomes for the communities we serve.
