About the Role

Trunk Tools is seeking Forward Deployed Experts (FDX) to drive AI adoption on active construction jobsites. This role involves embedding with general contractor project teams to implement AI solutions, focusing on behavioral change and adoption rather than custom agent building. The FDX will operate as part of a specialized team, identifying efficiency opportunities and supporting critical projects using the full AI stack.

Responsibilities

  • Embed with project teams and superintendents to drive daily, hands-on use of Trunk Tools and the broader AI stack.
  • Run workshops, competitions, and side-by-side coaching to convert skeptics into everyday users.
  • Meet the field where it is — builder-to-builder, on the jobsite, under real-world pressure.
  • Identify the highest-value AI use cases for each business unit and rebuild the workflow around them.
  • Tie every push to a measurable outcome — time saved, cost reduced, or work won.
  • Capture use cases and feed them back into the shared library for broader benefit.
  • Deploy into at-risk or high-priority projects and use the AI stack to get them back on track.
  • Diagnose where teams are stuck and stand up practical, AI-enabled workflows fast.
  • Advise on where custom agents would create value and partner with Trunk Tools product teams to scope them.
  • Stay current across the AI tool landscape to match the right tool to the job.
  • Certify customer champions and trainers to ensure sustained adoption.
  • Transfer capability deliberately to enable self-running teams before moving to the next region or account.
  • Track adoption and behavioral-change metrics for your region and report them.
  • Bring field feedback to Product to shape the roadmap.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in construction operations (superintendent, project engineer/manager, VDC/BIM, or field operations) with real time spent on active jobsites.
  • Demonstrated, high AI fluency: a daily power-user of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, and others) who has already changed how they work.
  • A track record of driving adoption or change in the field, and of turning around struggling situations.
  • Deep knowledge of construction workflows — submittals, RFIs, drawings, scheduling, and the daily grind of a project team.
  • Strong AI-tool fluency and the instinct to match the right tool to the right workflow.
  • A natural coach and communicator who earns trust on the jobsite.
  • Comfortable with heavy travel and embedding on-site for stretches at a time.
