Industrialized Construction (IC) Economics Lead (Modeling & Analysis)

Core responsibilities:

• Lead development of an IC economic model(s) quantifying lifecycle cost, schedule, and performance differences between conventional and industrialized construction methods
• Translate complex datasets (labor, materials, factory utilization, supply chain logistics, IC transport, soft costs) into a clear, defensible model architecture
• Integrate AI-based tools to automate and improve estimating workflows and accuracy
• Quantify savings from speed, scale, and quality in industrialized construction
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and field teams to create total installed cost models
• Present findings and defend assumptions to public and private stakeholders

This role helps industrialize the construction industry with advanced manufacturing and AI, enabling clients to build faster, more affordably, and at higher quality using manufacturing principles, ultimately changing how the built environment works.

Required qualifications:

• 7-10 years preferred in construction and/or manufacturing economics (manufacturing cost modeling, factory utilization, and scale economics etc.)
• 5+ years of building/refining models using data science tools (PowerBI, Python, Tableau, or AI-based cost tools)
• Strong understanding of construction cost estimating
• Familiarity with RSMeans, Monte Carlo simulation, TRACES/PACES
• Understanding of manufacturing/production economics, including factory utilization, takt-time, throughput, and learning-curve effects and/or offsite construction
• Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and communicate economic results clearly
• Strategic, data-driven mindset and comfort operating in emerging technology environments
• Strong communication skills; able to explain modeling logic to both engineers and executives

Salary: $100,000 - $150,000 per year. This role offers a career-defining opportunity to grow into a leadership voice shaping America's Industrialized Construction movement, working alongside recognized leaders in IC, innovation, and venture creation to turn new ideas into reality.

ADL Ventures is on a mission to reinvent how America builds, partnering with Fortune 500s and federal agencies to launch real ventures that change how the built environment works.
