Head of AI & Automation

The Role

Delaware Valley Companies is hiring its first Head of AI & Automation to modernize how a fast-growing paving and excavation company runs. You will own the systems, integrations, and automations that take manual effort out of the business and let it scale.

What You’ll Own

• First 6 to 12 months focus on estimating, project management, and operational workflows, the areas where automation pays off.
• Map existing estimating and project management workflows with the people who run them, then automate the manual steps that slow them down.
• Build integrations between NetSuite, Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, OneDrive), and the field tools the business relies on, so data flows without rekeying.
• Design dashboards and workflow tools that give operational leaders real visibility.
• Evaluate AI tools against actual business problems and put the ones that earn their keep into production.

Where the Role Grows

Once the foundation is in place, this role expands across finance, accounting, AR/AP, sales, and enterprise business systems, and into building and leading the team that supports continued domestic and international growth.

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on experience building AI and workflow automation solutions in a real business, not just evaluating them.
• Strong background in programming, software development, or systems engineering.
• Direct experience with APIs, integrations, and data automation.
• Experience with NetSuite (or a comparable ERP) and the Microsoft 365 stack, including Power Automate, SharePoint, and the Graph API.
• Ability to sit with operational leaders, understand a messy process, and turn it into a scalable technical solution.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and project management skills, and the comfort to work across operations, finance, estimating, project management, and executive leadership.
