AI Enablement Specialist

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Cone Tec is a global leader in geotechnical site investigation and in-situ testing. Our growing 800+ person team work in dynamic, field, office and research-based environments where technical excellence, safety, and leadership go hand in hand.

At Cone Tec, growth is not just about expanding our business, it's about developing our people, our systems, and our capabilities at every stage. As we advance toward our 2030 Vision, we're investing in the data foundations, technology platforms, and AI capabilities that will help our teams work more efficiently, make better-informed decisions, and deliver even more value to our clients.

We are looking for an AI Enablement Specialist to step into a newly created role that will help shape how Cone Tec leverages AI across the business. Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, this role is fundamentally about partnership — sitting down with leaders across Finance, HR, Project Management, Operations, Marketing, and our field teams to understand how work actually gets done, then translating those conversations into practical AI solutions that make the business more efficient, better aligned, and easier to scale.

The role is hands-on. You will identify the highest-value opportunities, build the business cases, run the pilots, deliver the training, and own the data foundation that makes any of it work. You'll travel regularly to Cone Tec's offices and field sites — there is no substitute for being on the ground, watching the work, and building the relationships that turn a tool rollout into adoption.

You’ll operate within our parent company's IT framework and partner closely with their team. This is a highly visible role with real influence, ideal for someone who enjoys building things from the ground up, aligning systems that haven't talked to each other before, and helping colleagues see what's possible.

• Meet regularly with leaders across Finance, HR, Project Management, Operations, Marketing, and our field teams to understand their workflows, priorities, and pain points
• Identify and prioritize the highest-value AI use cases - proposal drafting, invoice processing, candidate screening, project reporting, field data summarization, and others we haven't thought of yet
• Build short business cases for shortlisted opportunities and recommend what to pilot, what to scale, and what to park
• Travel regularly to Cone Tec's offices and field sites to build context, relationships, and credibility across the business

• Lead the rollout, configuration, and ongoing optimization of Microsoft 365 Copilot and other AI tools across the company
• Look for opportunities to embed AI into existing workflows rather than bolt new tools onto the side
• Run time-boxed pilots, measure outcomes, iterate, and scale what works
• Design and deliver training, office hours, and an internal champions network so AI tools get used and used well
• Create prompt libraries, job-aids, and short-form walkthroughs tailored to each team's workflows
• Track adoption and address drop-off

• Continuously scan emerging AI tools and platforms relevant to Cone Tec's work
• Run vendor security and privacy reviews for new tools, in alignment with parent company IT framework
• Build short business cases and recommend buy / build / wait decisions to leadership

• Design, build, and maintain data pipelines using Azure Data Factory to consolidate data from across Cone Tec's business systems
• Architect and operate Cone Tec's Azure Data Lake - structure, partitioning, lifecycle - as the trusted source for analytics and AI
• Develop Azure Functions and supporting automations to keep data flowing, fresh, and accurate
• Integrate disparate systems so teams across the business work from a single, consistent view of the data

• Define and enforce data quality standards - completeness, accuracy, timeliness, consistency - across critical datasets
• Build and maintain a…
