Job description

• 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.
• 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.
• Familiarity with AEC / ConTech tooling (BIM and VDC, estimating, project controls, Procore or comparable).
• Experience with mission‑critical mechanical‑electrical project delivery (data centers, life sciences, healthcare, semiconductor).
• Experience applying governance and data‑handling standards in practice.
