AI Implementation Specialist (Construction Technology) - St Louis

About the role

The opportunity involves partnering with large design-build companies to build custom AI tools and strategies that make their teams more effective. The role requires someone who can travel to active jobsites, shadow project teams, and develop a deep understanding of how work gets done, where it breaks down, and where technology can genuinely help.

Responsibilities

• Conduct structured job shadows of Project Engineers, Project Managers, and superintendents across various project types to map how work actually flows day-to-day and identify areas of friction, waste, and brilliance.
• Extract and codify expert knowledge from experienced construction professionals, synthesizing field observations into actionable briefs for Human Agency's venture studio and product teams.
• Build and maintain a living knowledge base of construction workflows, pain points, and technology gaps across the client's project portfolios.
• Evaluate emerging technologies like autonomous equipment, AI-assisted estimating, and reality capture tools against real jobsite needs and develop technology fit assessments.
• Contribute to Human Agency's venture studio thesis on AEC industry trends and technology gaps, providing a practitioner's perspective on contech trends and investment-worthy companies.
• Help jobsite teams understand and adopt AI-assisted workflows, translating AI capabilities into construction language and identifying the highest-leverage AI use cases for specific roles and project types.
• Surface adoption barriers, user friction, and workflow mismatches back to the product team to ensure tools get better with each visits.

Requirements

• Construction industry experience (3+ years) with time spent on or around jobsites, including project engineering, project management, field operations, or construction technology.
• Deep fluency with the contech landscape, following the space obsessively and having a point of view on where it's all heading.
• AI literacy that goes beyond using ChatGPT, building workflows, and demonstrating how AI tools change the way people work.
• Exceptional communication skills across audiences, able to have a credible conversation with a superintendent on a jobsite and brief a C-suite on technology strategy.
• Comfort with heavy travel (60–80%) to jobsites across the country.
• Natural credibility with construction professionals due to understanding the work, not just the tools.

Qualifications

• Direct experience with construction technology platforms (Procore, PMWeb, OpenSpace, Bluebeam, BIM tools, or similar).
• Background in construction technology or AEC innovation.
• Experience in technology evaluation, venture analysis, or strategic advisory roles.
• Familiarity with how AI products are built and understanding the connection between field insights and user research and product decisions.
• Comfort operating in a consulting structure where you're embedded in a client's organization and culture.

Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.
