AI traineeship @Buildwise

Job description

Are you smarter than AI? Handy. But we’re looking for people who see data and AI as a partner in their quest for impact. Buildwise, the innovation centre for the construction sector, is looking for trainees who know there’s always more to learn.  

A traineeship with Ormit Talent at Buildwise is not just a job. It’s a paid two-year program where you’ll rotate through three challenging assignments that get progressively more complex. We shape leaders who want to challenge the status quo by focussing on self-development first. 

Do you have a knack for AI and data and are you ready to sharpen your people skills? Then this traineeship is for you.  

At Buildwise, you'll have a real-life impact on Belgium’s construction industry. Every project will push you to apply AI in ways that matter, both to Buildwise and the industry, and to your growth. Here’s what makes this traineeship not just another traineeship:   

• Being at the forefront of innovation: In one assignment, you might design AI-driven tools that use real-time data from drones to track construction site progress. Or perhaps you'll develop chatbots for contractors, automating repetitive tasks and speeding up client response times. 
• A tight-knit community of industry experts, tech coaches, and fellow trainees: You’ll work closely with AI experts who live and breathe data and AI.  
• Getting to work in an AI playground and spreading the love: AI is not just a buzzword at Buildwise. It’s the tool you’ll use every day. Your enthusiasm for AI should be contagious, fuelling innovation within the company.  
• Real-life projects with impact you can explain: The kind of work that might even get your grandparents nodding in understanding.  
• Getting hands-on experience: You’ll work across departments, get exposure to the entire ecosystem of construction and AI applications and work directly with Buildwise members.
• Having a position in a company that is not all about profits, but all about innovation 

Who are you?

Curious, driven, and ready to make AI or data practical? Join us in bringing AI to life in real-world applications! Here’s what we’re looking for: 

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in data, computer science, AI, or equivalent. 
• A growth mindset: Yes, we start with this one. Because you can’t know everything already. Curiosity and willingness to learn is what matters most.
• A solid foundation in data, AI, computer science or research and familiarity with data visualisation tools such as PowerBI, SQL …  
• Advanced knowledge in Python and a solid understanding of statistics is a must, and if you know your way around machine learning, generative AI, Computer vision, robotics or data analysis, that’s a plus.
• Multilingualism: Fluency in Dutch or French (with at least A2 level in the other) is important. A willingness to improve is key, as collaboration with your colleagues will be key for your challenges. The Ormit training sessions are in English. 
• An empathetic inspirator and problem-solver: Thrive working solo but shine in collaborative teams. Your technical skills are vital, but so is your ability to connect, inspire, and help others embrace AI and data. 

Miss a box or two? No problem! If you have a strong interest in data or AI and are eager to learn, we’d love to hear from you.  

What we offer?

• A unique blend of personal growth, leadership, and skill-building with monthly coaching and career coaching  
• A mentor at Ormit Talent and at Buildwise and a support network of coaches, colleagues, and fellow trainees 
• 20% of your time is reserved for training in both tech and people skills  
• A ​​competitive salary including a smartphone, laptop and car with fuel card or green option
