Description

Build the Future of Construction

ADL Ventures is hiring an entry-level Associate to support the execution team working on industrialized construction (IC). Help bring manufacturing, standardization, and new technologies to the way America builds.

This is a high-impact early-career role with real ownership, flexibility in how you solve problems, and close collaboration with experienced colleagues. Recent graduates and nontraditional backgrounds are encouraged to apply. No prior full-time experience is required.

What You’ll Work On

How do we grow America's industrialized construction base? What helps manufacturers scale? Where can standardized building systems, better procurement, and AI make construction faster, more affordable, and more reliable?

You’ll help answer these questions through research, cost and schedule analysis, and hands-on project coordination. Expect to turn findings into clear recommendations, work with manufacturers and design partners, and keep project tasks moving—with guidance from project managers and technical leads.

You’ll Thrive Here If

• You're biased toward action: a self-starter who takes ownership, follows through, and asks thoughtful questions.
• AI is part of your daily work. You regularly max out your Claude, ChatGPT, or other AI subscriptions while experimenting with research or engineering workflows—and you check the results.
• You understand construction fundamentals and are excited by off-site manufacturing, automation, and disruptive building technologies.
• You're eager to learn from colleagues and want a long-term career in the built environment through a nontraditional path.

Show us your potential through coursework, internships, trades, manufacturing, military service, or something you've built yourself. Curiosity, sound judgment, clear communication, and comfort with spreadsheets matter here.
