AI Specialist

About this role

Our client is a well-established US commercial electrical contractor — employee-owned, with decades of work on complex projects in healthcare, aviation, mission-critical data centers, commercial, industrial, and higher education sectors. They partner with leading national general contractors and have built their reputation on precision, safety, and engineering depth.
As the business invests in AI and automation as core operating infrastructure, they are hiring an AI Specialist to lead the function: evaluate the tools, design the workflows, train the people who will use them, and report on what actually moved the needle.
This is a hands-on strategist-operator role. You will not be writing strategy decks in isolation. You will be embedded with department leaders across estimating, recruiting, marketing, and project management — scoping use cases, prototyping in Power Automate or n8n, integrating with Microsoft 365 and line-of-business systems, and getting workflows adopted by teams that have done the work without AI for decades.
Within your first 90 days, success looks like 2–3 production AI workflows live in priority departments, each with documented SOPs, measurable time savings or accuracy gains, and active adoption by the team they were built for.
You will work alongside IT and security to ensure every solution clears compliance, data privacy, and risk review before it touches client data — a non-negotiable in this industry, where project documentation can include sensitive healthcare facility plans and mission-critical site drawings.
Responsibilities

Audit the current software stack to identify automation and AI-integration opportunities with the strongest ROI

Design and deploy AI solutions using leading platforms — Microsoft Copilot, OpenAI / ChatGPT Enterprise, Anthropic Claude, Sora, and domain-specific tools

Stakeholder Engagement & Training

Partner with department leaders to identify high-leverage use cases and translate technical concepts into practical business applications

Train teams on adopting new AI tools and workflows — and remain accountable for whether adoption sticks

Write SOPs, internal guides, and onboarding documentation that get used, not shelved

Prototyping, Testing & Optimization

Prototype AI-assisted systems and rigorously test for accuracy, scalability, and ROI before broader rollout

Iterate based on usage data and stakeholder feedback

Recommend what to scale, what to refactor, what to sunset

Compliance, Security & Risk

Work with IT and security teams to ensure every AI solution meets compliance, data privacy, and risk management standards

Establish guardrails around what data can and cannot be processed in which tools

Reporting & ROI Analysis

Prepare clear, executive-ready reports on implemented AI solutions and their measurable business impact
