During the Lee County Building Industry Association (BIA) “Build My Future” event at Jet Blue Park in Fort Myers, Suffolk introduced local high school students to the future of construction careers and STEM-related jobs. As a presenting sponsor, Suffolk demonstrated Spot the Robot Dog, an innovative robotic tool from Boston Dynamics, programmed with advanced image capturing and laser scanning capabilities. Spot provides Suffolk’s project teams with critical insights, enabling safer and more efficient jobsite management. Suffolk is one of the few general contractors in the U.S. to use this cutting-edge technology onsite.
Suffolk’s project management, business development, and technology deployment experts also shared valuable insights, discussing pathways for students interested in building successful careers in construction.
For more information on Suffolk’s use of technology, AI, and robotics and their commitment to promoting careers in construction, Ben Wilson, Suffolk’s Chief Operating Officer, is available for a more in-depth interview.
