Role Summary

As the on-site catalyst who turns AI ideas into working reality, you will partner with project leaders (Project Managers and Superintendents) to uncover pain points, redesign workflows, and deploy multiple AI agents that reduce reporting overhead, accelerate RFIs, simplify planning, progress tracking, materials management, and more. You will work closely with the company's central AI Studio when advanced engineering support is needed, but your focus is on rapid, practical deployment of agents in the field.
