SME - Construction

The Role

We are hiring a senior Construction Domain Expert (SME) to be the practitioner voice at the center of how Super Hive gets built. You are someone who has spent a career inside construction and engineering who knows how a design‑standards review actually runs, how a P6 programme gets rebaselined after a material change, how a QS builds and benchmarks a BOQ, and you’ll turn that judgment into product.

This is not a reviewer‑on‑the‑side role. You sit between our product engineering and data teams and the reality of the work, defining what correct means for each workflow, pressure‑testing what we build against how the industry truly operates and accelerating us past the mistakes a team without deep domain expertise would make.

• Define ground truth for the Packs: specify what good looks like for compliance review, schedule intelligence and cost estimation — the inputs, the steps, the edge cases, the failure modes so the agents reason the way a strong practitioner would.
• Encode domain expertise as skills: work with the team to turn methodologies you carry in your head (UAE code interpretation, critical‑path and delay analysis, elemental cost benchmarking) into the structured loadable expertise that makes Super Hive domain‑competent rather than a generic AI wrapper.
• Pressure‑test outputs: review what the agents produce against real project scenarios, find where they’re wrong or shallow, and drive the corrections. You are the standard the product is held to.
• Embed in design partnerships: sit alongside our clients/domain experts, speak their language, validate that what we’re building maps to their actual workflows and bring their reality back into the roadmap.
• Shape the roadmap: tell us which workflows are worth automating, where the highest‑volume and highest‑cost pain sits and what sequencing makes sense given how projects really run.
• Inform GTM credibility: be a credible domain voice in front of developers, contractors and consultants in workshops, demos and discovery.

• 10 years in construction or engineering with real depth in at least one of compliance and design‑standards review, scheduling and planning (Primavera P6, MSP), cost estimation and BOQ, quantity surveying or BIM model coordination; breadth across more than one is a strong plus.
• Hands‑on practitioner credibility: you’ve personally run the cycles — submitted designs for authority approval, baselined and re‑analysed programmes, produced and benchmarked estimates, coordinated models, not just managed people who did.
• UAE experience: direct exposure to UAE or wider GCC codes, authorities, developers and delivery realities or a clear ability to get there fast.
• Fluency with the tech stack: working knowledge of the tools the industry runs on (ACC, BIM 360, Procore, Aconex, Primavera P6, Revit, IFC, QS takeoff tools) and an honest view of where they help and where they fall short.
• A product instinct: you can articulate workflows precisely, reason about where they break, and distinguish a tool’s limits from data fragmentation and process problems. You’re energized by building something better, not defending the status quo.
