Construction Data Pipelines & Integration
Design, build, and maintain reliable data pipelines that support project managers, operations leaders, and executive reporting needs.
Integrate data from ERP/MRP, project management, scheduling, field mobility, and financial systems into governed enterprise datasets.
Develop and maintain transformations that standardize project, labor, cost, vendor, material, and operational data for downstream use.
Technology & Systems Integration
Support data integration requirements for system implementations, upgrades, and digital transformation projects.
Partner with application owners and vendors to define data interfaces, source-to-target mappings, and integration requirements.
Automate recurring data movement and manual workflows through scripting, APIs, orchestration, and reusable data pipelines.
Data Platform Engineering & Automation
Build and optimize data models, staging layers, and curated datasets that support enterprise analytics and reporting.
Monitor pipeline performance, troubleshoot failures, and improve reliability, scalability, and data processing efficiency.
