Mortenson is looking to accelerate construction and enterprise outcomes by delivering end-to-end AI products and solutions, translating the Data & AI strategy into actionable roadmaps, building and coaching delivery teams, establishing repeatable operating mechanisms (MLOps + governance), and driving measurable adoption and value.
Requirements
- 7+ years delivering AI/ML solutions
- Hands-on experience with MLOps (model lifecycle, CI/CD, monitoring/observability)
- Practical expertise with modern AI stacks (LLMs/NLP, CV, vector search; Python; cloud services—Azure preferred), and with data platforms that support domain-owned analytics (e.g., Microsoft Fabric)
- Proven ability to turn ambiguous business problems into shipped AI products with measured value
- (PREFERRED) Experience in AEC/construction tech (estimating, project controls, safety, supply chain)
- (PREFERRED) Background in responsible/ethical AI and enterprise governance frameworks
Responsibilities
- Translate strategy into prioritized AI product roadmaps; manage full lifecycle from discovery and design through experimentation, deployment, and scale.
- Stand up repeatable delivery mechanisms (backlog, sprint cadences, stage gates, product KPIs) that shorten time-to-market and ensure value realization.
- Coordinate cross-functional squads (Data Engineering, Analytics, Security, Compliance, domain SMEs) and external partners as needed.
- Operationalize ethical AI practices and model governance (privacy, security, lineage, evaluation, model cards, human-in-the-loop), in alignment with the AI COE standards and Mortenson policies.
- Define release criteria, runbooks, monitoring and fallback controls for safe operations at scale.
- Own the product team’s use of MLOps (CI/CD for models, feature stores, experiment tracking, observability, drift detection) and ensure architectural fit with the Microsoft Fabric-based data mesh and enterprise platforms.
- Partner with Integration teams to connect AI services to operational systems (e.g., ERP/financials, estimating, project controls).
Other
- 1+ year of experience leading product/engineering teams
- Hire, coach, and develop AI engineers, AI Developers, full-stack development engineers; foster a high-trust, learning focused culture.
- Establish clear roles, goals, and career paths; model Mortenson leadership principles in daily work.
- Engage OG/BSG leaders to select use cases, define value targets, and build adoption plans; enable innovation sandboxes with lifecycle and security guardrails.
- Drive enterprise change management (training, communications, rollout playbooks) to reach target adoption levels.
- Must be currently legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H1B status, 0-1, TN, CPT, OPT, etc.). We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
