Expert Métier Construction

Freeda verifies architectural and construction files for the people who own the risk: property owners (MOA) who see each project as a financial asset, and who lose real money when errors reach site. We combine deep construction expertise with technology to catch those errors early.

Why this role exists

We are growing, and we need to take on more clients without ever lowering the bar. Today, the hardest technical judgment sits with too few people. This role adds a senior expert who can absorb more complex work, stay the final word on the difficult calls, and make our product smarter as they go.

Your goal for the year is concrete: help us onboard 5 new MOA clients while we hold our delivery standard and keep client satisfaction high.

Where you sit: inside a business unit

You will not work as a lone expert with a queue of files. You will be the métier lead of a business unit, a small cross-functional team that owns a scope end to end.

Your BU includes:

An ex-ops binôme. They own the client at deal level: contractual, commercial, and executive relationship. You own the projects: planning, delivery, coordination, and the reports themselves. The binôme is built on trust, not on a division of territory. You move towards the same goal, you tell each other early when something is going wrong, and neither of you protects your own half at the expense of the client outcome.

A product lead. Their job is to turn your judgment into something the product can do repeatedly. That means you get interrogated on your own reasoning, often, and in detail.

A forward deployed engineer. They build against real client files, next to you, in short loops. If a check you do by hand is slow or error-prone, they can automate it in days, not quarters. You need to be able to say what you actually do, step by step, without romanticising the craft.

Freeda is a growing international team, and the BU model is how we scale into new geographies and asset types. You will work daily across nationalities, disciplines, and native languages, with people who came from construction, from operations, from product, and from engineering. Expect conversations where nobody shares your background and everybody has an opinion.

What you will own

You will be the final technical authority on the files your BU analyses.

Own project delivery: planning, coordination across the BU, and the reports that go out. You decide what gets checked, in what order, by whom, and you are accountable for the file landing on time and at standard.

Read and analyse project files across all phases, from feasibility to DCE, and across every discipline: MEP, structure, accessibility, local zoning. You catch the coordination and constructibility errors that no automated check finds on its own.

Own the risk verdict. You decide what is real site risk and what is noise, and you deliver findings ranked by financial and schedule consequence, not as a flat list of nonconformities.

Advise clients directly on the technical substance. You are a face of Freeda, not a back office. When a finding is contested, you hold the technical line: reassuring enough that the client trusts the counsel, sharp enough that they understand the exposure they carry. Your binôme carries the commercial conversation; you carry the credibility that makes it possible.

Produce reports yourself and lead others producing them. Early on you will write the hardest ones end to end. As the BU grows you will run a team doing it, without losing the ability to sit down and do the work when a file demands it.

Do the hardest checks by hand, and turn what you catch into a better product by building alongside the product lead and the FDE in your BU. What lives in your head today should make our engine smarter tomorrow.

Raise the level around you. Juniors get better because you coach the reasoning behind a finding, not just the correction.

Help define how the BU works. The playbook is partly written. You are expected to improve it, not wait for it.

What we are looking for

Someone with 8 to 10 years in construction who has done two things most people only do one of: worked on site, and analysed building documents across all project phases, from feasibility to DCE. You have a coordinator's eye across trades rather than a single speciality, you are opinionated enough to be the last word, and generous enough to share what you know instead of guarding it.

The harder filter is mindset. This role suits someone who is at the top of their technical game and still convinced they have a lot left to learn, including from people half their age and from outside construction. If your expertise makes you defensive, this w
