Construction Project Manager (AI) at Handoff

We’re hiring a Construction Project Manager (AI) to own the quality of our automated construction drawing takeoffs and the automated estimates/material lists we produce. In this role you’ll ensure that takeoffs, scopes, and material/SKU matching meet customer-specific standards and can be executed quickly and accurately in the field. Our clients are large construction material suppliers and general contractors. We focus on residential and will branch into commercial. You’ll be managing other estimators who are performing quality control on estimates.

What you’ll do

Own Estimate Quality: Act as the primary point of contact between Handoff AI and our clients (GCs and suppliers), ensuring estimates meet client-specific expectations. This includes creating a system to enforce scope accuracy, quantity accuracy, and client preference accuracy.
Manage Estimate Turnaround: Return estimates within 48 hours for enterprise contracts across residential and commercial projects, including both ground-up construction and remodel work.
Produce Detailed Material Lists: Create material-level estimates that account for individual studs, siding, trim, fittings, fasteners, adhesives, consumables, and other required items.
Match Customer Product Requirements: Ensure estimates align with exact SKUs, product lengths, cross-sections, specifications, preferred brands, product lines, and finish colorways.
Lead Customer Communication: Support contractors and suppliers through phone calls, video meetings, and text, while setting clear expectations on capabilities and timelines.
Manage Estimators: Oversee construction estimators and help ensure drawings and estimates are delivered on time and at the required quality bar.
Support Computer Vision Training: Help guide team members annotating construction drawings and develop rules for how plans should be read to train computer vision models.
Partner with Software Engineering: Work directly with machine learning engineers, AI Engineers, and full-stack developers to teach construction best practices and improve estimating software.
Build and Review Test Cases: Produce reference estimates for software testing and review AI-generated estimates for scope, quantity, and formatting issues.
Improve Estimate Performance: Review inaccurate estimates, identify root causes, and help prevent repeat errors for future outputs.
Manage Budget Efficiency: Keep estimate creation within target labor budgets so the work remains profitable.
