AI in Construction Thought Leadership Content Writer

Overview

Our client is developing a series of thought leadership content exploring the forces transforming the construction industry — from artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to workforce culture, macroeconomic shifts, and the future of the built world. These content series are designed to help industry leaders better understand the trends shaping construction and translate complex ideas into practical insights for the businesses building our world.

We’re looking for an experienced content writer who can turn research, expert perspectives, and industry signals into clear, compelling written content. This role is ideal for writers who enjoy explaining complex ideas, distilling insights from interviews and research, and creating thoughtful, narrative-driven content for professional audiences. This writer will write AI assets (3-4 series) on AI education in construction and how to use it in action.

Engagement

• Time: 10 hours/week, ongoing, with room to scale as needed
