The Mission

BES is modernizing how a real industrial operation runs — not with buzzwords, but by replacing manual, fragmented workflows with systems that actually think.

We’re hiring a Head of Automation & Applied Intelligence to design and lead this transformation across estimating, engineering, operations, and execution.

If you like turning messy, high-stakes processes into software, automation, and leverage — this role has teeth.

You’ll work directly with the CEO and senior leadership, with the authority to build, deploy, and scale internal systems that materially change how the company operates.

⸻

What You’ll Do

• Identify high-leverage bottlenecks and replace them with automation or AI-assisted systems

• Design internal tools that increase speed, accuracy, and visibility across the business

• Connect data and workflows across finance, engineering, procurement, production, and project teams

• Build internal knowledge and decision-support systems that compound over time

• Establish technical standards and deployment discipline

• Lead and coordinate a small distributed development team

This is not just an R&D lab. These systems go into production.

⸻

Technical Focus (Intentionally High Level)

• Workflow automation and internal tooling

• AI-assisted document and process handling

• Systems and API integration

• Data architecture and knowledge systems

• Predictive insights and operational alerts

Details belong in the interview.

⸻

What Makes You a Fit

• You think in systems and hate manual work

• You’ve built real internal tools — not just demos

• Strong Python and API integration background

• Practical experience with modern AI / LLM tooling

• Comfortable owning outcomes, not just code

• Clear communicator who can work directly with executives

Industry experience is a bonus, not a gate.

⸻

Why This Role Is Different

You’ll be designing how the company works.

• Direct access to leadership

• Broad authority and ownership

• Fast iteration, real consequences

• Clear path to expanded leadership as systems scale

If you want to build something that actually matters — this is it.

Compensation & Growth

• $115K–$220K base

• Hybrid flexibility

• Long-term leadership trajectory
