Tariffs, Tech, and a Live LinkedIn Webinar—Let’s Catch Up
Your go-to source for staying connected with industry trends, company highlights, and career opportunities in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Technology.
Hi! Stefanie here, one of the three founders of AEC Tech Jobs! I’m excited to dive into this next edition of Behind AEC Tech Jobs! This issue is going to dive into what we are reading, some awesome open roles, and resume updating tips!
Let’s dive in!
What we are reading/watching in the AEC world:
Modernizing Permitting: Why AEC‑Specific Tools Are the Key to Moving Fast—and Getting It Right. The White House just told federal agencies: modernize your permitting workflows—or fall behind. This article breaks down why AEC-specific tools like Bluebeam are better suited than generic platforms, and how cities like Coral Springs and Las Vegas are already seeing massive time and cost savings. If you’re curious how permitting is being reshaped by policy and tech, this is a must-read.
Construction costs jump at a 6% annualized rate on tariff-driven material spikes
New data shows input prices for iron, steel, copper, and aluminum climbed 0.2% in May and are now 6% higher year-over-year—even as energy costs dipped. Fresh 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum took effect June 4 and haven’t fully impacted prices yet, meaning costs could rise further. Contractors warn this squeeze could push project budgets up by millions, shrink margins, and delay future work. Want to understand how tariffs are reshaping project economics?
Slate.ai’s latest report reveals how AI and automation are transforming construction. Highlights include 15% productivity gains, 60% reductions in rework, and real-world case studies where contractors saved over $18M per project. The report also outlines practical implementation roadmaps and identifies key technologies to prioritize based on your firm's capabilities and goals. If you're navigating the evolving construction tech landscape, this is a must-read- and they are hiring!

Live Webinar is HAPPENING
I owe you an apology…
This newsletter is a little late—because I was completely offline for two whole weeks. And not in the “I just didn’t check email” way. I mean literally no internet.
I went on a cruise, seven months in the making. Zero WiFi. Full digital detox.
It was glorious… and also kind of terrifying.
As someone who lives and breathes tech and career strategy, unplugging isn’t easy. But I also know that stepping away can bring clarity—and I came back ready to build- all kinds of things.
Which brings me to this:
🎉 We’re finally hosting our first-ever AEC Tech Jobs webinar!
LinkedIn 101 for Construction Tech
You’ve been asking for it, and we’ve been (honestly) procrastinating. But now it’s happening. And it’s going to be GOOD.
This will be perfect if:
You're an AEC tech founder or CMO looking to grow your brand’s presence on LinkedIn
You want to turn your team’s expertise into content that actually connects with the AEC audience
You’ve got a great product—but you're struggling to tell your story in a way that cuts through the noise
You're ready to stop winging it and start showing up with consistent, valuable thought leadership
You know content matters, but you don’t have time to figure it all out alone
We'll give you real profiles, real examples, and a fresh take on how to make LinkedIn work for you—not the other way around.
Mark your calendars—July 1 at 12:30pm PST/3:30 pm EST.
Also- if this isn’t your vibe, that’s okay! I have some resume tips coming your way in the next newsletter!
