## 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
