Site AI Engineer

Suffolk Construction•Las Vegas, NV

15h•Onsite

About The Position

Join Suffolk’s project teams across the U.S. as the on-site catalyst who turns AI ideas into working reality. Partnering with each project’s AI Champion (Project Manager or Superintendent), you’ll uncover pain points, redesign workflows, and deploy AI agents that cut down reporting, accelerate RFIs, simplify lookahead planning, progress updates, materials tracking, and more. When needed, you will develop user stories and coordinate development with the central AI Studio. You’ll help advance the vision of the “Construction Site of the Future,” showing how agentic AI will transform project operations.

Requirements

4–6+ years in AI engineering / full-stack data applications or data science, including 2+ years building production LLM/RAG/Agentic solutions.
Bachelor’s in CS, Engineering, Physics, or a related field; Master’s preferred.
Demonstrated process excellence background (Lean/Six Sigma Green Belt a huge plus) with experience diagnosing process and data gaps and supporting change management plans with Operations Excellence.
Strong facilitation and communication skills.
Hands-on expertise with Claude Code, Devin AI, MS Copilot, and other coding assistants
Programming & data stack: Python, SQL, Fast API, Databricks Lakehouse, vector stores.
DevOps & IaC: GitHub Actions Terraform or CloudFormation automation or comparable CI/CD tooling; strong Git/GitHub workflow discipline.
Integration & ETL skills: Foundational understanding of ETL/ELT design, Airflow or Databricks Workflows, and REST/GraphQL API development; proven collaboration with Data Engineering on source-to-lake and lake-to-agent pipelines.
Willing and able to travel and work on active jobsites.

Nice To Haves

Prior hands-on work in construction or heavy process industries (manufacturing, oil & gas, chemicals) is a significant plus.

Responsibilities

Lead discovery; map value streams, assess process and data maturity, and log low-effort/high-impact AI use cases.
Evaluate jobsite’s current workflows and underlying data; surface gaps that block AI adoption and develop phased improvement plans with Operations Excellence to establish the right process baseline before deploying agents.
Evaluate off-the-shelf and platform tools; launch pilots, measure impact, and scale wins.
Convert user stories into MVP agents in AWS Bedrock/Sagemaker, ChatGPT Enterprise, and other frameworks within days, with heavy use of AI coding assistants; wire them to Teams/SharePoint on the front end and Databricks Lakehouse, AWS services, or other sources on the back end.
Build Agentic RAG pipelines backed by Opensearch and other data stores; automate infra with GitHub Actions; monitor latency, cost, adoption, and drift.
Partner with Data Engineering to design and maintain ETL pipelines, API integrations, and event-driven connectors feeding RAG and agents.
Blend AWS Bedrock, OpenA and Azure OpenAI behind secure custom connectors; package agents for seamless rollout.
Train crews, gather feedback, iterate, and track adoption and ROI metrics; apply influence model principles to embed agents into daily routines and SOPs, and track behavior change KPIs.
Brief project leadership and clients on agent impact in clear business terms; contribute use cases and playbooks for Suffolk’s “Construction Site of the Future.”
Draft clear user stories, data specs, and acceptance criteria for any complex solution that requires the central AI Solution Engineers or Data Engineering / Data Science team to lean in. Work closely with those teams to turn prototypes into enterprise-ready scaled applications.
Ensure every on-site AI tool meets Suffolk’s information security, data governance, and client confidentiality standards.
