Director of AI & Innovation
Melbourne, FL On-site

About the role
We have an opening to support our client, a nationally ranked AEC firm with expertise in aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, commercial, and federal markets across the U.S. and around the world. The firm has made a company-wide commitment to AI and is hiring the person who will lead it. This is not a “maintain the tools” role. There is no existing AI program to inherit. You'll assess the entire enterprise, decide where AI creates real leverage, build the roadmap, and drive adoption from project teams to the C-suite. You'll work directly with the CEO and division presidents, which means your recommendations don't die in committee. They get funded and deployed.
What you'll bring
- 5+ years of experience in the AEC industry.
- 3 to 5 years of leadership in technology, innovation, or digital transformation, with a proven track record of deploying AI at scale.
- 8 to 15 years of total professional experience.
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, architecture, construction management, computer/data science, or a technology-focused business field.
- Just as important: you're the rare translator who can sit with a CEO on strategy in the morning and walk a project team through a new workflow in the afternoon.
- You're curious, you experiment fast, and you know that adoption is a people problem before it's a technology problem.
- Master's preferred
