About The Position

The Construction AI Technology Manager will help our operating companies integrate artificial intelligence into the business in a practical, disciplined, and useful way. This role will focus initially on Microsoft Copilot and approved Microsoft 365 applications, helping operating companies identify where AI can improve productivity, communication, reporting, and administrative leverage. This is not a purely technical role and it is not a corporate compliance position. The mission is to help operating companies turn AI from a general concept into real business value by identifying high-impact use cases, supporting implementation, training teams, and sharing practical successes across the organization. The right candidate will combine strong business judgment, technology fluency, and a hands-on implementation mindset. This person must be able to work effectively with independent operating company leaders, understand how work actually gets done, and help teams adopt new tools without overcomplicating the process.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in business, technology, operations, information systems, or a related field preferred.
Experience in AI implementation, digital transformation, business systems adoption, process improvement, change management, or a related role.
Strong familiarity with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Copilot applications and use cases.
Experience training or enabling users with a range of technical skill levels.
Strong communication and facilitation skills with the ability to explain technical capabilities in practical business terms.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple implementation efforts at one time.
Strong judgment and the ability to distinguish between meaningful business value and technology for technology’s sake.
Must have the demonstrated ability to effectively communicate in English, cooperate, and collaborate with multiple levels of customers, employees, unions, government agencies, vendors and suppliers, and other contractor organizations.

Nice To Haves

Construction, building services, industrial services, or field-oriented operational experience is highly preferred.

Responsibilities

Partner with operating company leadership and functional teams to identify practical AI use cases that improve speed, consistency, communication, and administrative efficiency.
Lead the rollout and adoption of Microsoft Copilot and related approved AI tools across operating companies in coordination with IT and security requirements.
Evaluate workflows in areas such as estimating, project management, procurement, finance support, service administration, HR support, and executive reporting to determine where AI can add value.
Design and deliver training for leaders, managers, and staff on effective use of Microsoft Copilot and related tools.
Teach users how to apply AI appropriately, including prompting, workflow integration, output review, and responsible business use.
Launch and support pilot initiatives with selected operating companies and business functions.
Document lessons learned, successful use cases, and repeatable practices that can be shared across the organization.
Help create role-based guides, practical examples, training materials, and implementation playbooks.
Reinforce appropriate guardrails so AI is used as a productivity tool and not as a substitute for technical expertise, management review, or sound business judgement.
Work closely with enterprise leaders, operating company teams, and internal IT/security contacts to align implementation efforts with business needs and approved standards.
