✨ AI Summary

Ironsite, a construction-tech startup using wearable cameras and AI to turn jobsite footage into productivity insights, is hiring a customer-facing Construction Data Analyst in San Francisco. The role involves building dashboards and reports in BI tools like Tableau or Power BI, analyzing labor productivity data, and presenting findings to contractor leadership. Requires 2-5 years of data analyst experience, strong data storytelling, and comfort with imperfect data; construction industry experience is strongly preferred. Salary is $85k-$120k with early-stage equity, and the role is based in San Francisco with occasional travel.

About Ironsite


Construction is one of the most complex and labor-intensive industries in the world. It spends roughly $7 trillion a year on labor, and loses an estimated $1.6 trillion a year to productivity gaps, largely because the tools used to manage the work haven't meaningfully changed in decades. Most project decisions are still made from clipboards, daily reports, and secondhand accounts of what happened in the field.

Ironsite is closing that gap. We put wearable cameras on hard hats and vests, then combine expert human labeling with AI vision-language models to turn raw jobsite footage into a clear, quantitative picture of how work actually gets done. Our customers use that picture to reduce labor costs, improve safety outcomes, and deliver projects faster.

Where we are today:
  • 50,000+ hours of construction footage captured across 7 states

We work with some of the largest general contractors and self-perform builders in the United States, and we're building the team to scale nationwide.

The Role


Construction Data Analysts turn Ironsite's raw capture into answers our customers can act on. You'll sit between our Operations team and the contractors we serve, taking the observations, labels, and metrics coming off jobsites and shaping them into the dashboards, reports, and insights that a superintendent, project executive, or self-perform lead uses to run their work.

This is a customer-facing analytics role. You won't just build charts in a corner, you'll be on calls with contractor leadership walking them through what the data says, why it matters, and what to do about it. The best people in this seat are equal parts analyst and translator: comfortable in the numbers, and just as comfortable explaining productivity trends to someone who has spent thirty years in the field and has no patience for a bad metric.

You'll work in tight coordination with our Operations, Ground Truth, and Engineering teams. What you learn from customers about which numbers actually move a project directly shapes what we measure and how we report it.

What You'll Do


Turn capture into insight

  • Analyze labeled jobsite data to quantify labor productivity, activity mix, crew utilization, and the impact of site changes, design, resources, and logistics on how work gets done
  • Build and maintain customer-facing dashboards and reports that make complex jobsite data legible at a glance
  • Map capture back to each contractor's own work breakdown structure and labor codes so findings connect to cost and schedule, not just video
  • Spot the signal in the noise, surface the trends, constraints, and wins that a project team would otherwise miss

Work directly with customers

  • Serve as the analytics point of contact for the projects you support, presenting findings to superintendents, project engineers, and self-perform leadership
  • Run recurring data reviews with customers: walk them through what the numbers say, answer hard questions, and translate insight into decisions
  • Understand each customer's goals and tailor the analysis and reporting to what actually matters on their project
  • Turn recurring customer questions into repeatable reporting so insight scales beyond any single conversation

Partner with Operations

  • Work alongside the Operations team to make sure the data flowing off deployments is accurate, complete, and structured for analysis
  • Partner with the Ground Truth team to ensure our activity taxonomy reflects what's actually happening on site, the trades, sequences, and edge cases that generic categories miss
  • Feed structured observations back to Operations and Engineering to improve how we capture, label, and report

Raise the bar on how we measure

  • Define and refine the productivity metrics and benchmarks that become the standard across accounts
  • Document your methods and reporting so analysis stays consistent and repeatable as we scale
  • Identify opportunities to automate recurring analysis and reporting


What We're Looking For


Required
  • 2–5 years of experience in a data analyst, business analyst, or reporting role where you owned analysis end to end
  • Strong data storytelling. You can take a messy dataset and turn it into a clear, honest, decision-ready narrative, in a dashboard and out loud
  • Hands-on experience building dashboards and reports in a BI tool (Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or similar)
  • Excellent communication across audiences. You can present findings to a customer's leadership and answer a skeptical superintendent's questions in the same meeting
  • High autonomy and sound judgment. You'll often own the analysis for a set of accounts and be the person the customer relies on to get it right
  • Comfort working with imperfect, real-world data and the rigor to know when a number is trustworthy and when it isn't

Strongly preferred
  • Construction industry experience, as a project engineer, field engineer, estimator, scheduler, APM, PM or in a data/analytics role at a GC, sub, or construction-tech company. You understand how a project actually runs and what a labor or productivity number means to the people using it
  • Fluency with construction data, WBS/cost-code structures, schedules, and labor productivity metrics

Nice to have
  • Proficiency with SQL and advanced spreadsheet analysis
  • Familiarity with Python (pandas) or similar for deeper analysis and automation
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Data Analytics, Statistics, Business, or a related field
  • Bilingual (English / Spanish), a large share of the crews we work with are Spanish-speaking
  • Experience in a customer-facing analytics or customer success role


What Success Looks Like


  • First 30 days: You know our data model cold, understand how capture becomes metrics, and can build and explain a standard customer report on your own
  • First 90 days: You independently own the analytics for a set of accounts, running data reviews that customers find genuinely useful
  • First 6 months: You're the internal authority on how we measure productivity for your accounts, and your work has raised the standard for how Ironsite reports insight across the company


Locations

We're hiring Construction Data Analysts based in or near:

  • San Francisco Bay Area, CA
  • Texas (Austin / Dallas–Fort Worth)
  • Washington, DC / Northern Virginia

You'll be anchored in one of these markets, working primarily from the office or remotely, with occasional travel to active jobsites and customer offices.

Compensation & Benefits


  • Base salary: $85k–120k per year, commensurate with experience
  • Meaningful early-stage equity, we want the people closest to the customer to own a real piece of the outcome
  • Travel covered, with per diem when on site
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Company hardware and equipment

Final compensation is determined by experience, location, and level.

Why This Role


Most software companies serving construction have never had someone on a jobsite at 6am. We have, constantly, and now we're capturing more of what happens in the field than anyone in the industry. As a Construction Data Analyst, you sit at the exact point where that data becomes decisions: you're the person who turns 50,000+ hours of ground truth into something a builder can act on Monday morning. You'll have direct relationships with the largest builders in the country, real influence over what we measure, and a front-row seat as this category gets defined.

If you love finding the story in the data, and want that story to actually change how the built world gets built, this is the job.

Ironsite is an equal opportunity employer. We're committed to building a team that reflects the industry we serve, and we welcome applicants of every background, identity, and experience.
