🏗️ 🤖 JOB ALERT: AI Construction Specialist (Startup)

In ConstructAI, we’re revolutionizing construction estimation through AI, helping contractors in the US bid on more projects 10x faster with higher accuracy. Backed by leading VCs, we’re preparing for our beta launch in the largest construction market, the US.

The Role

Join us as a Construction Technology Specialist (full-time) in a unique position that combines hands-on construction estimation with cutting-edge automation development.

What makes this role special:

  • 50% Operations: Perform quantity takeoffs and estimations of construction projects, working directly with construction drawings and specifications

  • 50% Technology: Develop and improve Grasshopper scripts that automatically generate 3D models from database objects, integrated with Revit through Rhino.Inside.Revit

  • Bridge Two Worlds: Translate real construction knowledge into automated workflows, directly impacting how AI understands building processes

  • Direct CTO Reporting: Work closely with technical leadership to shape our automation roadmap

What We’re Looking For

Essential Experience:

  • 3-5 years in the construction industry, specifically with:

    • Reinforced concrete structures (residential, commercial, or infrastructure)

    • Structural contractors, general contractors, or estimation firms

    • Understanding of concrete construction processes, formwork, and rebar placement

  • Revit experience with structural models (intermediate level - you don’t need to be a BIM expert)

  • Intermediate proficiency with Rhino and Grasshopper, including:

    • Understanding of computational logic and parametric design principles

    • Experience creating and modifying Grasshopper definitions

  • Python programming knowledge

  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail for quantity takeoffs

  • Bilingual proficiency in Spanish and English (LATAM operations/US clients)

  • Experience working on US construction projects

  • Power user proficiency with generative AI tools - essential for success in our AI-native startup environment

Technical Skills:

  • Ability to read and interpret structural drawings and specifications

  • Understanding of construction materials, methods, and industry standards

  • Familiarity with 3D modeling concepts and parametric design principles

Soft Skills:

  • Problem-solving mindset - you see inefficiencies and think about how to automate them

  • Communication skills to work with both technical developers and construction professionals

  • Growth mindset - this role will evolve rapidly as we scale

Next steps?
