Job description

Forget everything you know about construction companies.

Over half our business uses Claude every single day. Estimators, project managers, admin, leadership: all of them.

We've already built working prototypes of our own estimating, tendering, procurement and job management apps. They work. They're scrappy. And they're about to become the backbone of how we run.

We need someone to make them unstoppable.

Most AI jobs are a trap. You get hired to "drive innovation", then spend 18 months on proposals, IT tickets and steering committees while your ideas die.

This is the opposite. No committees, no legacy IT, no convincing anyone. The team already gets it. They just need you to build it.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO

• Turn our prototypes into rock-solid tools the whole company runs on
• Kill clunky software and spreadsheet chaos, and replace them with systems we own
• Connect everything: Claude, Microsoft 365/SharePoint, HubSpot, Xero, and whatever else you think will get us there
• Sit with estimators and site managers, spot what slows them down, and automate it
• Decide what we build next

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

• A team that's already all in. More than half the business uses AI daily. Your users are waiting for you, not resisting you.
• Real ownership. You're not one dev in a team of 40. You're THE person, and what you build becomes how we work.
• Your choice of stack. Claude is where we started, not a cage. GPT, Gemini, n8n, Make, Power Automate, Python, open-source models: if it's the best tool, use it.
• Hybrid. Based at our Geebung office with flexibility to work from home some of the time.
• A career story few will ever have: "I rebuilt a construction company with AI."

YOU'RE OUR PERSON IF...

• You've built real things with AI (agents, automations, workflows, apps) and can show us
• You can code enough to wire systems together (APIs, Python/JS or similar)
• You love turning messy processes into simple ones
• You can explain tech to a site manager without losing them
• You'd rather build than talk about building

No construction background? Doesn't matter. We'll teach you the industry. We can't teach curiosity.
