Construction Data Scientist

If you’re buried in construction data or project controls, producing reports that rarely leave the business, this is your chance to do something bigger.

At XYZ Reality, we’re building a category-defining construction technology company — and we’re looking for a Construction Data Scientist / Delivery Insights Analyst who wants to turn project delivery data into commercial power.

You’ll work with data from some of the most complex hyperscale and mission-critical construction projects in the world, uncovering trends and risk signals before ground is broken. Your insights won’t sit in dashboards — they’ll drive ABM campaigns, sales conversations, and market positioning.

This is a pivotal role, working directly with delivery teams, Revenue, and GTM, owning the insight narrative for the business. If you understand construction, can see the story behind the numbers, and want your analysis to shape markets and drive revenue, this is where you do it.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Construction Data Scientist / Analyst to unlock value from our project delivery data and transform it into insights that drive account-based marketing (ABM), sales enablement, and strategic decision-making.

This role requires strong construction domain knowledge, technical data skills, and the ability to collaborate closely with delivery teams to understand how work actually happens on site and in projects.

You will work with large, complex datasets across multiple projects, packages, and regions - extracting trends, comparisons, and performance signals that can be used both internally and externally to demonstrate value.

Key Responsibilities:

Data Extraction & Analysis (Core)

• Query and extract data from internal delivery systems and databases using SQL, Python, or similar scripting tools

• Clean, structure, and combine datasets from multiple sources

• Pull data into spreadsheets and analysis tools for exploration and modelling

• Run trend, variance, and comparative analysis across:

  • Project to project

  • Package to package

  • Region to region

  • Contractor / delivery model comparisons

Delivery Performance Insights

• Analyse delivery metrics on an individual as well as portfolio and global scale:

  • Schedule performance and trends

  • Productivity trends

  • Cost and risk signals and trends

  • Change, rework, or delay patterns

• Identify what consistently drives successful outcomes or project risks

• Surface insights that explain why projects perform differently, not just what happened

Collaboration with Delivery Teams

• Work directly with project managers, engineers, and delivery leads

• Translate on-the-ground activity into analysable data

• Ask the right questions to dig deeper into anomalies and trends

• Build trust with delivery teams by respecting operational reality

Commercial & Marketing Enablement

• Package insights into clear, compelling narratives for:

  • ABM campaigns

  • Sales enablement materials

  • Case studies and proof points

  • Executive and client-facing content

• Position XYZ as the trusted insights partner for hyperscale and mission-critical construction, predicting where and when risk will emerge and how to mitigate it before projects break ground.

Ongoing Insight Engine

• Create repeatable analysis frameworks and scripts

• Enable continuous insight generation, not one-off reports

• Work with Marketing and Sales to refine insights based on campaign performance and feedback

Required Background & Experience

Construction Domain (Non-Negotiable)

• Professional background in construction, engineering, infrastructure, or project delivery

• Hands-on understanding of:

  • Project delivery processes

  • Construction packages and scopes

  • Site-level realities vs. plan

• Able to speak credibly with delivery teams and understand their data

Data & Technical Skills

• Strong experience querying databases (SQL required) and ability to write scripts (Python, R, or similar)

• Advanced spreadsheet skills (Excel / Google Sheets)

• Comfortable exploring messy, real-world datasets data without perfect schemas or documentation

Analytical, Insight & Communication Skills

• Statistical and analytical thinking; ability to identify trends, correlations, and outliers

• Comfortable comparing performance across time, geography, and project types

• Focused on interpretation and implications, not just outputs

• Able to explain complex findings in simple, business-relevant language

• Can turn analysis into stories that support decision-making and revenue

• Competitive salary

• Career development opportunities

• Dynamic work environment with cutting-edge AR technology
