Role Description

We partner with large design-build companies (~$10B revenue) that employ thousands of project engineers and project managers running complex jobsites across the country. Human Agency is building custom AI tools and strategies to make those teams dramatically more effective. The missing piece is someone who lives in the field, understands how construction actually works, and can connect the dots between emerging technology and real jobsite needs.

That’s this role. You’ll travel to active jobsites, shadow project teams, and develop a deep, current picture of how work gets done, where it breaks down, and where technology can genuinely help. You’ll be the person who’s wildly up to speed on everything happening in construction technology — from autonomous equipment to AI-assisted estimating to reality capture — and can evaluate where each piece might actually fit in the real workflows you’re observing.

You carry two mandates:

• Enablement: helping field teams understand and leverage AI tools to work better, faster, and smarter.
• Intelligence: capturing expert knowledge from the people who actually build things, understanding the technology landscape with depth and nuance, and feeding those insights directly into Human Agency’s venture studio and product roadmap.

What You’ll Own

• Field Intelligence & Expert Knowledge Capture:
  • Conduct structured job shadows of Project Engineers, Project Managers, and superintendents across project types — healthcare, industrial, data centers, commercial — to map how work actually flows day-to-day and where the friction, waste, and brilliance live.
  • Extract and codify expert knowledge from experienced construction professionals.
  • Synthesize field observations into actionable briefs for Human Agency’s venture studio and product teams.
  • Build and maintain a living knowledge base of construction workflows, pain points, and technology gaps.
  • Identify systemic patterns across jobsites and project types that point to high-leverage opportunities for technology intervention or process improvement.
• Contech Landscape & Evaluation:
  • Maintain comprehensive, current knowledge of the construction technology landscape.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies against real jobsite needs.
  • Develop technology fit assessments.
  • Brief Human Agency and client leadership on contech trends and technology bets.
  • Contribute directly to Human Agency’s venture studio thesis.
• AI Enablement & Coaching:
  • Help jobsite teams understand and adopt AI-assisted workflows.
  • Run hands-on coaching sessions that translate AI capabilities into construction language.
  • Identify the highest-leverage AI use cases for specific roles and project types.
  • Serve as the credible, trusted voice on AI and technology for field teams.
  • Surface adoption barriers, user friction, and workflow mismatches back to the product team.

Qualifications

• Construction industry experience (3+ years) with time spent on or around jobsites.
• Deep fluency with the contech landscape.
• AI literacy that goes beyond using ChatGPT.
• Exceptional communication skills across audiences.
• Comfort with heavy travel (60–80%) to jobsites across the country.
• Natural credibility with construction professionals.

Requirements

• Direct experience with construction technology platforms (Procore, PMWeb, OpenSpace, Bluebeam, BIM tools, or similar).
• Background in construction technology or AEC innovation.
• Experience in technology evaluation, venture analysis, or strategic advisory roles.
• Familiarity with how AI products are built.
• Comfort operating in a consulting structure.

Why This Role Matters

Construction is a $13 trillion global industry where the people doing the work are brilliant but chronically underserved by their tools. Technology companies build for construction from the outside. Consultants advise from conference rooms. Nobody is living on jobsites, capturing what experts actually know, staying current on every emerging technology, and connecting those two things together.

That’s the gap this role fills. Your field intelligence shapes what Human Agency builds, who we invest in, and how we help our design-build partners operate at the highest level. Your enablement work ensures that the tools we’ve already built actually land with the people who need them. You’re the connective tissue between technology and the real world — and in an industry this large and this underserved, that’s a position with enormous leverage.
