Role

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.
