πŸ“‘ Talent Signal

Hiring activity as a leading indicator of where construction tech is heading

Why Hiring Data Matters

Job postings are a leading indicator of strategic direction β€” often more honest than press releases. A company hiring 10 AI engineers while announcing a “BIM-first” strategy is telling you something. We track that signal so you don’t have to.

Signal Analysis β€” February 2026

Our read on what current hiring activity is telling us about the AECO tech market.

πŸ”Ί Rising Signal

AI Engineering in AEC Giants

Nemetschek and Trimble are both actively hiring AI and ML engineers β€” not product managers or strategists, but hands-on builders. This signals that AI integration has moved from roadmap to active development at the platform layer.

πŸ“ Geographic Signal

Remote-First Dominates

Over 80% of current AECOverse listings offer remote or hybrid flexibility. AECO tech companies are competing for global talent rather than limiting themselves to local markets β€” a structural shift from pre-2020 norms.

πŸ’‘ Skill Signal

Data Engineering Demand Grows

Multiple listings this week require data pipeline and analytics skills β€” not just data science. AECO platforms are maturing from data collection to data operationalisation, creating demand for engineering profiles that didn’t exist in construction tech five years ago.

🏒 Company Signal

Trimble Hiring at Scale

Trimble accounts for the highest share of current AECOverse listings, with multiple roles across software engineering and product. Volume hiring of this kind typically precedes a significant platform or product release cycle.
