Artificial Intelligence Engineer

MCL Construction, La Vista, NE, United States


Artificial Intelligence Engineer
Omaha, NE (Onsite) | Full-Time, Exempt

Build the systems. Shape the future. Drive how decisions get made.

At MCL Construction, we’re not experimenting with AI, we’re building it into how we operate, compete, and grow.

We’re looking for an Artificial Intelligence Engineer who doesn’t just understand AI but knows how to apply it where it matters. This is a high-impact role where you’ll design, build, and deploy intelligent systems that influence real decisions across the business from the jobsite to the boardroom.

If you’re someone who wants to own the strategy, build the tools, and see your work used in real time, this is your arena.

What You’ll Own
AI Strategy & Implementation

Build and evolve MCL’s AI roadmap, aligning tools and capabilities with real business outcomes

Design, develop, and deploy end-to-end AI/ML solutions across departments

Identify high-impact use cases, pilot solutions, measure results, and scale what works

Translate business challenges into practical, scalable AI applications

AI Systems & Tools

Develop AI agents and tools using platforms like Azure AI Foundry, Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar

Integrate AI into enterprise systems (Teams, SharePoint, internal platforms)

Build and refine Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows, embeddings, and vector databases

Create lightweight tools and applications that improve decision‑making speed and accuracy

Data & Decision Support

Partner with Data and IT teams to connect pipelines, APIs, and data sources

Develop forecasting models and intelligent systems that support planning and operations

Monitor performance, track KPIs, and continuously improve model accuracy and adoption

Ensure reliability, scalability, and long‑term performance of AI solutions

Cross-Functional Impact

Work directly with field, operations, finance, and leadership teams to understand workflows

Identify inefficiencies and introduce AI‑driven improvements

Train users, drive adoption, and gather feedback to refine solutions

Serve as the bridge between technical capability and real‑world application

Leadership & Influence

Mentor interns and support internal AI capability building

Lead internal training and elevate AI literacy across the company

Stay ahead of emerging AI trends and bring new ideas back to the business

What It Takes
Technical Foundation

Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field

Strong programming experience (Python, R, JavaScript, etc.)

Experience with AI/ML frameworks and model development

Hands‑on work with LLMs, RAG, embeddings, and agent‑based workflows

Familiarity with tools like Azure AI, OpenAI, Copilot, Semantic Kernel, or similar

Experience integrating APIs, data connectors, and enterprise systems

What Sets You Apart

You don’t just build models, you solve problems

You think in systems, not silos

You can move from concept ? prototype ? production without getting stuck

You’re comfortable working with both technical teams and business leaders

You’re curious about how construction actually works and how to make it better

Why MCL

Real Impact: Your work won’t sit on a shelf, you’ll see it used across the company

Ownership: You’ll help define how AI shows up here, not just execute someone else’s roadmap

Growth: We’re expanding, evolving, and investing in smarter ways to build

Culture: Passionate. Thorough. Dedicated. Respectful. No shortcuts, no excuses

The Bottom Line
This isn’t a “keep the lights on” AI role.

This is for someone who wants to step in, take ownership, and build something meaningful from the ground up with the support, visibility, and trust to do it right.

If you’re ready to move beyond theory and put AI to work where it actually matters, we should talk.
