Sr. Digital Delivery Specialist

General Summary:The Sr. Digital Delivery Specialist at EMSTEEL designs, builds and delivers advanced AI and machine-learning solutions that create measurable business value across the Group’s steel and building-materials operations. The role sits within the Digital Centre of Excellence and focuses on Generative AI, Agentic AI, Computer Vision, AI Digital Twins and productionizing models through modern MLOps practices applied to industrial use cases such as process optimization and predictive maintenance. Working end-to-end from use-case discovery and experimentation to deployment, monitoring and adoption. Essential Duties and Responsibilities:Partner with business stakeholders and SMEs to identify, qualify and prioritize high-impact AI/ML use cases aligned to EMSTEEL’s strategic objectives.Design, develop and deploy Generative AI solutions (LLM-based assistants, RAG pipelines, document intelligence, summarization and content generation) tailored to enterprise needs.Build Agentic AI systems — autonomous and multi-agent workflows that reason, plan, use tools and orchestrate tasks, including Agent-to-Agent (A2A) collaboration and protocols across enterprise applications.Deliver industrial AI use cases across the value chain — process optimization, predictive maintenance, quality prediction, energy and yield optimization, and anomaly detection for steel and building-materials operations.Develop and operationalize AI Digital Twin solutions that simulate, monitor and optimize plant assets and production processes in real time.Build Computer Vision solutions for defect detection, surface-quality inspection, safety monitoring and process automation on the shop floor.Develop, validate and optimize classical and deep-learning models for prediction, optimization, anomaly detection and process control.Implement robust MLOps practices: CI/CD for models, automated pipelines, feature stores, model registry, versioning, monitoring, drift detection and retraining.Engineer scalable data and AI pipelines on Databricks and integrate solutions across the Microsoft (Azure) stack and Dataiku.Own end-to-end AI project delivery — from proof-of-concept to production — ensuring quality, security, performance and on-time delivery.Drive AI adoption by embedding solutions in downstream applications, updating SOPs, enabling users and delivering relevant training and change management.Establish responsible-AI, governance, evaluation and guardrail practices for GenAI and agentic solutions (accuracy, safety, bias, data privacy and cost control).Communicate findings, model behavior and business impact clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.Additional Duties and ResponsibilitiesContribute to the AI reference architecture, reusable components and internal best-practice standards.Stay current with emerging GenAI/agentic frameworks, foundation models and tooling, and pilot promising innovations.Mentor junior Sr. Digital Delivery Specialists and analysts and support a culture of experimentation and continuous learning.Knowledge, Skills and/or Abilities RequiredStrong hands-on experience in machine learning, deep learning and statistical modelling using Python (and SQL).Proven expertise in Generative AI LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings, vector databases and fine-tuning.Experience building Agentic AI solutions and multi-agent / Agent-to-Agent (A2A) systems using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen or similar.Experience delivering industrial AI use cases process optimization, predictive maintenance and AI digital twins.Hands-on Computer Vision experience (OpenCV, PyTorch/TensorFlow, object detection, segmentation, defect/anomaly detection).Solid MLOps capability MLflow, model deployment, containerization with Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, GitHub / GitHub Actions and model monitoring.Proficiency with Databricks (Spark, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, notebooks) for large-scale data and ML workloads.Working knowledge of the Microsoft/Azure AI stack (Azure Machine Learning, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Fabric/Synapse) and Dataiku.Ability to translate business problems into technical solutions and communicate results effectively.Strong problem-solving, stakeholder-management and cross-functional collaboration skills.Minimum Requirements (Must Have):EducationBachelor’s / Master’s in Computer Science, Data Science, AI, Statistics, Engineering, Physics or Mathematics.Experience4+ years in data science / machine learning delivery.Demonstrated delivery of GenAI or agentic solutions to production.2+ years implementing cutting-edge AI/GenAI technologies.Exposure to manufacturing, heavy industry or steel operations.Experience with responsible-AI governance and LLMOps.Training / CertificationsCertifications in Machine Learning / AI, Databricks, Microsoft Azure AI or Dataiku.
