Build Your Future with AI: Careers at American Katerra

The construction and manufacturing industries are changing faster than ever, and American Katerra is at the forefront of that transformation. Based in San Antonio, Texas, we specialize in Green Carbon Steel™ manufacturing, BIM (Building Information Modeling), and carbon management — and we are actively looking for professionals who are ready to work alongside artificial intelligence (AI), not just alongside a desk.

If you are someone who embraces technology, thinks creatively about efficiency, and wants to grow in a company that values both technical expertise and forward-looking problem-solving, we want to hear from you.

At American Katerra, AI is woven into the fabric of our daily operations. Every employee, regardless of their role, currently works with AI as part of their regular workflow. From authentication and accounting to procurement, research, and project coordination, AI tools are helping our team move faster, make better decisions, and reduce manual overhead across the board.

This is not a pilot program or a future initiative — it is our present reality. We are a company that has committed to AI adoption at every level, and we are building a team that reflects that commitment.

We are not simply hiring for job titles. We are hiring for mindsets. The ideal American Katerra team member is someone who:

• Brings strong professional skills in their core discipline (engineering, design, operations, finance, etc.)
• Actively uses AI tools to enhance their own productivity and quality of work
• Can identify areas within their role where AI can streamline tasks or surface new insights
• Is comfortable proposing process improvements backed by AI capabilities
• Stays curious about how emerging AI tools can be applied in a construction and manufacturing context

We believe the most valuable professionals in the coming decade will not be those who simply use AI — they will be those who know how to guide it, question it, and put it to work in meaningful ways.

Let’s take the role of BIM designer as a concrete example. In many companies, a BIM designer is hired to produce accurate technical drawings. That remains important at American Katerra — but it is only half the picture.

We are looking for BIM designers who also ask: “How can AI help me do this better?” That might mean:

• Using AI tools to automatically detect clash issues in BIM before they become on-site problems
• Leveraging AI-assisted design suggestions to explore structural alternatives more quickly
• Automating repetitive drawing tasks through AI workflows, freeing time for higher-value design work
• Using AI to research material specifications, cross-check standards, or draft documentation faster
• Proposing AI-powered QA processes that reduce review cycles and human error

The BIM designer of the future at American Katerra is part technical specialist, part efficiency architect. If that sounds like you — or like who you want to become — this is the right environment to do it.

American Katerra is a 100% subsidiary of Yamaguchi Heavy Industries (Japan). We bring together Japanese manufacturing precision and Texan scale, operating within one of the most exciting intersections in modern construction: sustainable, carbon-managed Green Carbon Steel™ production combined with digital-first project delivery.

Our team works on projects that matter — infrastructure that is both built to last and built responsibly. When you join American Katerra, you are not just taking a job. You are stepping into a company where your ideas about AI and efficiency will be taken seriously, where your professional growth is tied to both your technical skills and your ability to adapt and innovate.

When you reach out to us, we encourage you to go beyond a standard resume. Show us:

• How you currently use AI tools in your professional or personal workflow
• Any examples of process improvements or efficiencies you have created using AI
• Your vision for how AI could improve the work you do in your specific field
• Your interest in green construction, sustainable manufacturing, or BIM technology

We review every application with attention to these factors. Candidates who can demonstrate both subject matter expertise and an active, thoughtful approach to AI integration will stand out.

American Katerra is growing, and we are looking for professionals across multiple disciplines — engineering, design, project management, finance, and operations — who share our belief that AI and human expertise are better together.
