About The Position

Human Agency is seeking an AI Implementation Specialist with a background in construction technology (Contech) to join their team. This role is primarily remote within the US but requires significant travel (60-80%) to jobsites nationwide. The specialist will act as the bridge between emerging AI technologies and the practical needs of construction jobsites. They will conduct jobsite observations, capture expert knowledge from field teams, and evaluate construction technology. A key part of the role involves enabling field teams to understand and leverage AI tools, providing coaching, and feeding insights back to Human Agency's product and venture studio teams. The goal is to help large design-build companies become more effective through custom AI tools and strategies, ensuring AI amplifies human potential in the construction industry.

Requirements

Construction industry experience (3+ years) with time spent on or around jobsites.
Understanding of construction workflows (e.g., three-week lookahead, PE's actual day, difference between how construction is supposed to work and how it actually works).
Backgrounds in project engineering, project management, field operations, or construction technology.
Deep fluency with the contech landscape (knowledge of players, platforms, funding rounds, and gaps).
AI literacy beyond basic usage (experience building workflows, automating processes, demonstrating how AI tools change work).
Ability to teach AI tools to others.
Exceptional communication skills across audiences (from superintendents to C-suite).
Comfort with heavy travel (60-80%) to jobsites across the country.
Natural credibility with construction professionals.

Nice To Haves

Direct experience with construction technology platforms (Procore, PMWeb, OpenSpace, Bluebeam, BIM tools, or similar) as a power user, implementer, or builder.
Background in construction technology or AEC innovation (startup, GC's operations/innovation team, or technology consultancy).
Experience in technology evaluation, venture analysis, or strategic advisory roles.
Familiarity with how AI products are built (translating field insights and user research into product decisions).
Comfort operating in a consulting structure embedded within a client's organization and culture.
