Trunk Tools is the AI platform built for construction. One brain that reads every document on your job, and tools that transform your team’s workflows. Backed by Insight and Redpoint.
About the role
Trunk Tools is looking for Forward Deployed Experts (FDX) to drive AI adoption where it actually happens — on active jobsites. This is not a back-office role, and it is not a custom-engineering role. The FDX is a construction operator who has become deeply AI-fluent, embedded with a general contractor’s project teams to change how work gets done.
What they're looking for
- 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
More about this role
At Trunk Tools, we’re the leading AI company revolutionizing construction, the second-largest industry on earth. We recently raised a $40M Series B led by Insight Partners, bringing our total funding to $70M from top-tier investors including Redpoint and Innovation Endeavors. This new round is fueling our next phase of growth as we scale AI agents across the jobsite.
Our mission is to build the future of construction through intelligent automation. Despite being a $13+ trillion industry, construction still runs largely on analog processes, we’re changing that by embedding AI directly into field operations.
Founded by builders and technologists (Stanford, MIT), our team has delivered software used by over 140,000 field professionals, impacting millions of users and contributing to $10B+ in built projects. Many of us come from the field ourselves, giving us a deep understanding of the industry’s unique challenges.
After years of building the “brain” of construction, we’re now launching production-ready AI agents, starting with intelligent document processing and Q&A, and rapidly expanding into core operational workflows. Our team has doubled in the past year, and with 100+ employees...
