Who we are seeking:

" A candidate with 5+ years in AEC systems architecture, construction technology, or structures project data workflows.

" A systems-minded professional to lead the definition and implementation of FLINT's semantic data layer through a unified Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), linked metadata, and ontology-driven modeling.

" A candidate with experience managing or integrating WBS, cost codes, or schedule breakdowns across platforms.

" A candidate who has the understanding of construction taxonomies (CSI MasterFormat, UniFormat).

" A candidate who has experience modeling entity relationships across BIM, cost, and schedule systems documentation standards.

" A candidate proficient with structure data tools: Excel, Power BI, metadata mapping.


Essential job functions:

" Define and maintain the FLINT Ontology-the semantic model for all construction concepts, relationships, and classifications.

" Build and enforce unified WBS that aligns across design (Revit), schedule (Primavera), cost (Vista ERP), BIM (ACC), documents (Egnyte), and reporting (Power BI).

" Map metadata fields, custom properties, or parameter schemas in each system to ensure alignment with the ontology and WBS.

" Collaborate with data engineers and AI specialists to structure project data into a queryable knowledge graph.

" Create documentation and logic rules that define WBS usage, data hierarchy, and ontological relationships (e.g., wall -> trade -> cost center).

" Partner with project teams to ensure practical implementation of WBS in design, field operations, and cost tracking.
