Role Summary
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.
Responsibilities
- Workflow discovery and redesign: Lead Lean/Six Sigma workshops; map value streams; log high-impact AI agent opportunities that improve field efficiency.
- AI agent development: Build and deploy multiple production-ready AI agents using Copilot Studio, Power Apps/Automate, ChatGPT Enterprise, or code-first frameworks. Integrate agents into Teams/SharePoint on the front end and Databricks Lakehouse or other enterprise data sources on the back end.
- RAG pipelines and LLMOps: Design and operate retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines with Databricks Delta Tables, Unity Catalog, and Vector Search (or Spark/Hadoop equivalents). Monitor cost, latency, adoption, and model drift.
- Cross-cloud orchestration: Blend OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and AWS Bedrock services through secure custom connectors to maximize flexibility and adoption.
- Data integration: Partner with Data Engineering to deliver ETL/ELT pipelines, API integrations, and event-driven connectors that feed RAG pipelines and AI agents.
- Change management and adoption: Train field teams, gather feedback, iterate quickly, and embed agents into SOPs. Track usage and ROI with adoption metrics and behavior-change KPIs.
- Stakeholder communication: Translate technical results into business value for leadership and clients. Contribute use cases and playbooks for the “Construction Site of the Future.”
- Compliance and hand-offs: Ensure all AI solutions meet the company’s data governance and security standards. Draft clear user stories and specs for escalation to central AI/Data Engineering teams when necessary.
