Job Summary Loenbro is looking for a motivated AI Engineer who is actively building, experimenting, and learning in the AI space. This is an excellent opportunity for someone earlier in their career who has already gotten their hands dirty—whether through personal projects, coursework, or professional work—and is excited to bring AI tools to life in a real-world construction and operations environment. You may start by building self-contained AI tools and workflows, growing into deeper system integration over time.

Essential Job Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy lightweight AI-powered tools and applications to improve operational efficiency across construction and business functions
• Partner with field teams, operations, and business stakeholders to identify manual, repetitive, or high-friction processes and translate them into AI-driven solutions
• Develop and iterate on prompt engineering strategies to ensure consistent, accurate, and useful outputs from large language models (LLMs)
• Prototype and test AI workflows using tools such as LLM APIs, automation platforms (e.g., Zapier, Make, Power Automate), and custom scripts
• Build self-contained AI solutions (e.g., chatbots, internal assistants, workflow automations) that deliver immediate value without heavy system dependencies
• Integrate AI tools with internal and third-party systems using APIs to enable scalable and connected workflows
• Create dashboards, interfaces, or simple applications that allow non-technical users to easily interact with AI-driven solutions
• Monitor, evaluate, and improve AI tool performance, including output accuracy, reliability, and user adoption
• Implement guardrails and validation processes to mitigate hallucinations, ensure data integrity, and support responsible AI usage
• Document workflows, tools, and processes to support scalability, maintainability, and team adoption
• Stay current on emerging AI tools, platforms, and best practices; proactively recommend new technologies or approaches to the business
• Support the evolution from standalone AI tools toward more integrated systems, contributing to long-term AI architecture and strategy
• Collaborate cross-functionally with IT, data, and business teams to align AI initiatives with broader technology and operational goals
• Demo solutions, gather feedback, and rapidly iterate to improve usability and business impact

Minimum Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, Data Science, or related field
• 2+ years of exposure to data-related work—whether through analytics, business intelligence, data entry systems, reporting, or supporting data-driven teams
• 1+ year of active, hands-on experience working with AI tools, platforms, or APIs in a professional or personal capacity
• Working experience with Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and/or Google Gemini
• A portfolio of AI projects is strongly preferred—show us what you've built: a workflow, an app, a chatbot, a prompt system, anything that demonstrates initiative and results

Preferred:

• Solid prompt engineering skills—you understand how to structure prompts, iterate, and get reliable outputs
• Experience building AI-powered tools or lightweight applications using LLM APIs (Claude API, OpenAI API, or similar)
• Exposure to workflow automation platforms such as Make, n8n, Zapier, or Microsoft Power Automate
• Familiarity with no-code/low-code AI tools and the judgment to know when to use them vs. write custom code
