Job summary

Legence, a Nasdaq-listed engineering and MEP services leader, seeks an E&C Segment Applied AI Lead to implement AI solutions across live projects, estimations, and design. Prototyping against project data, you will partner with estimators, PMs, and field leaders to drive adoption.

You will deploy tools like Claude, Copilot Cowork, and other AI assets, collaborate with AI leads, and govern data handling while reporting impact. Travel up to 10% may be required.

Qualifications

• 7+ years across engineering/construction technology, software/data, or technical implementation, with hands-on LLM experience in a business setting.
• Working knowledge of the E&C project lifecycle and the systems that support it.
• Ability to build and deploy solutions (Python, TypeScript, or low-code; document/RAG pipelines) and to train non-technical project teams to use them.
• Hands-on fluency with agentic AI tools — building and automating with Claude Code, and enabling users with Claude Cowork and Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork.
• Credible and comfortable with project teams in the office and in the field.

Responsibilities

• Build and deploy AI solutions for real project problems across the lifecycle — preconstruction and estimating, design, scheduling, procurement, field execution, QA/QC, and closeout (e.g., RFI and submittal handling, spec and drawing analysis, estimate support).
• Train and enable project teams — PMs, estimators, engineers, field leaders — with hands‑on sessions, job‑specific guidance, and support that fits how they actually work.
• Drive adoption on live projects: run pilots, sit with teams, remove friction, and grow self‑service use.
• Deploy, configure, and support the agentic AI tools the company has selected for E&C users — Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Cowork, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code — and use them directly to build solutions, integrating with the E&C technology stack where appropriate.
• Collaborate with the Corporate and I&M Applied AI Leads as peers — reuse and share solutions, templates, and patterns so work is not duplicated across segments.
• Apply the governance and data‑handling standards leadership sets, and flag project‑specific risks and gaps back to leadership.
• Quantify and report impact in segment terms: bid hours saved, RFI and submittal turnaround, estimate accuracy, rework avoided.
