Job description

Count on us. Our "we-care" culture is more than just a motto; it's a promise. From day one, we prioritize your growth, well-being, and success. You can count on us to support your career journey and help you achieve your professional goals. Join us.

Make Your Mark.

As a Business Technology Senior Consultant, you will help construction and real estate industry professionals improve operational efficiency through technology-enabled business solutions. In this role, you will identify process challenges, analyze business needs, and design innovative solutions that connect systems, automate workflows, and improve the user experience across the organization.

This is not a traditional project management role. Instead, you will serve as a problem solver, solution architect, and implementation leader who transforms business requirements into practical, scalable technology solutions. You will work closely with stakeholders across consulting, operations, and technology teams to streamline processes, integrate platforms, build reporting and analytics tools, and create innovative solutions that support evolving business needs. This role is ideal for a highly motivated consultant who enjoys solving complex business problems, creating technology-enabled solutions, and driving meaningful operational improvements within a dynamic construction and real estate consulting environment.

Because the work is highly dynamic and project-based, no two projects are the same. Success in this role requires curiosity, initiative, critical thinking, collaboration, and a passion for continuous improvement.

This position is based in Southfield, Michigan. Candidates must be located within commuting distance and able to work principally in person to support collaboration, team engagement, and business needs. No relocation will be offered for this role.

Your Role

Your responsibilities may include:

• Partnering with business and technology stakeholders to identify process inefficiencies and operational challenges.
• Gathering and analyzing business requirements and translating them into scalable technology solutions.
• Designing, building, and implementing business applications, workflows, integrations, and automation solutions.
• Leading solution implementation efforts from concept through deployment and user adoption.
• Evaluating existing systems and recommending improvements to enhance functionality, user experience, and efficiency.
• Creating integrations between business systems to improve data flow, accuracy, and operational effectiveness.
• Developing dashboards, reports, and visualizations that provide meaningful business insights and support decision-making.
• Leveraging Power BI and other analytics tools to transform data into actionable information.
• Troubleshooting issues with existing solutions and implementing enhancements to improve performance and reliability.
• Working collaboratively with cross-functional teams to ensure solutions align with business objectives.
• Staying current on emerging technologies and identifying opportunities to improve processes through innovation.
• Supporting a portfolio of diverse, non-repetitive projects that require creative thinking and adaptability.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is someone who:

• Sees inefficiencies and immediately starts thinking about solutions.
• Enjoys building rather than simply managing projects.
• Can bridge the gap between business users and technology teams.
• Thrives when working on new challenges rather than repetitive tasks.
• Uses data, technology, and creativity to improve how work gets done.
• Brings innovative ideas and follows through on implementation.
• Builds strong relationships and collaborates effectively across the organization.

Technical Skills

• Experience designing and implementing business technology solutions.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Power BI, including dashboard development, data modeling, and visualization design.
• Familiarity with business process automation, workflow development, and systems integration.
• Experience working with business applications, databases, and reporting platforms.
• Ability to analyze complex business processes and design practical technology solutions.
• Understanding of data governance, reporting, and information management best practices.
• Experience integrating multiple systems and managing cross-platform data flows is preferred.

Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in business technology consulting, systems implementation, business analysis, process improvement, or solution development.
• Experience supporting construction, real estate, engineering, or professional services organizations highly preferred.
• Experience with workflow automation, Power Platform, business intelligence, or enterprise systems integrations is required.
• Must be able to remain in a stationary sitting position for at least 75% of the time.

This is an exempt position, so you may have to work hours that exceed the standard 40-hour work week.
