ABOUT YOU

Are you a curious, hands-on problem solver who would rather build the fix than write the ticket? Do you get a kick out of sitting with a project manager, an accountant, or a superintendent, figuring out what actually slows them down, and then shipping an AI agent or workflow that makes that problem go away? Do you act with integrity and hold yourself to the highest standards? If the answer is, “Yes!” then we have an exciting, long-term opportunity for you. Who are we? We are ARCO, a Family of Construction Companies.

As an AI Solutions Analyst on ARCO’s Innovation team, you will find the business problems worth solving and solve them with AI. Think of the role as forward deployed: you will spend real time embedded with departments across the company (preconstruction, accounting, HR, safety, legal, marketing) to understand how work actually gets done, then design, build, pilot, and roll out agents and AI workflows on ARCO’s platforms. You will own problems end to end, from the first conversation to adoption, and you will measure your success by the hours you give back to ARCO associates.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

  • Embed with departments and project teams to find high-value problems: shadow the work, ask the obvious questions, and separate the daily irritations from the real bottlenecks.
  • Size and prioritize opportunities by business impact (hours saved, risk reduced, capacity created) and work with your VP and department leaders to decide what gets built, and in what order.
  • Design and build agents and AI workflows on ARCO’s platforms, including Claude, Claude Code, Glean, and custom built solutions, connected to our core systems.
  • Prototype fast, pilot with a real team on a real project, gather feedback, and iterate until the solution is something people would be upset to lose.
  • Roll out what works: write the quick-start guide, train the first users, stand up champions inside the department, and drive adoption.
  • Measure what you ship and report on outcomes, not activity: usage, time saved, errors avoided, and what you would do next.
  • Partner with IT, Data & Analytics, and Security to get the right data access and keep every solution inside ARCO’s AI governance, data security, and privacy guardrails.
  • Help triage and develop the ideas associates submit through ARCO’s AI ideas program, and turn the best of them into funded initiatives.
  • Evaluate vendor AI tools and features against build-it-ourselves options, and give leadership a clear recommendation.
  • Document what you build so someone else could maintain it, and hand mature solutions off to their long-term owners.
  • Stay current on what AI can do and bring new possibilities back to the business in plain language.
