General Summary

Granite Construction is seeking an energetic and technically curious Regional Technology Associate to operate out of our Coastal field office and serve as a hands-on technology liaison between regional operations and the Granite Systems Division (GSD). This junior-level role is ideal for an early-career technologist who is eager to learn civil construction operations, work closely with field teams, and help turn regional ideas into deployable, pilot-ready technology solutions.

This role will develop a working understanding of Granite's construction processes, and act as a conduit for identifying, shaping, and advancing technology-enabled improvements that drive efficiency, safety, quality, and cost performance.

Essential Job Responsibilities

Regional Engagement & Discovery
  • Learn Granite's regional operations, business processes, and civil construction workflows through direct field engagement.
  • Actively mine, document, and catalog technology opportunities surfaced by project teams and regional leadership.
  • Observe pain points and inefficiencies and translate them into clearly defined problem statements and solution concepts.

Technology Development & Enablement
  • Design, prototype, and develop lightweight applications, tools, or analytics to move ideas into a pilotable state.
  • Support rapid experimentation, testing, and iteration of solutions in close collaboration with end users.
  • Assist with release planning, versioning, testing, and deployment of early-stage solutions.

Coordination & Communication
  • Serve as a day-to-day conduit between regional teams and Granite Services Division leadership.
  • Package regional ideas, pilots, and learnings into concise briefings and artifacts suitable for leadership review.
  • Support transition of validated solutions from regional pilots into enterprise pathways, where appropriate.

Governance & Quality
  • Follow Granite technology standards, governance, and security guidelines.
  • Document solutions, assumptions, test results, and lessons learned to support scalability and reuse.

Desired Skills & Qualifications

Technical Skills
  • Exposure to or working knowledge of full-stack development (frontend, backend, APIs, databases).
  • Experience with statistical or analytical programming (e.g., Python, R, SQL).
  • Understanding of software testing, quality assurance, and basic release management practices.
  • Familiarity with modern development tools, cloud platforms, low-code and AI-assisted development solutions is a plus.

Professional Attributes
  • High energy, enthusiasm, and genuine curiosity about how things work in the field.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences, connecting users' needs to technical solutions
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity, learning on the job, and iterating quickly.
  • Self-starter mindset with a bias toward action and contribution.

Education & Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field preferred.
  • Internship, co-op, or early professional experience in software development, analytics, or applied technology encouraged.
  • Interest in construction, infrastructure, or industrial environments is a strong plus.
