Ai Automation + Systems Specialist (007- 1270)

​​Looking for Filipino (Philippines-based) candidates

Job Role: AI Automation & Systems Specialist

Salary Budget: $2,000 -3,000 AUD / Month

Contract Type: Independent Contractor

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9.00 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.

Who We Are: At Hunt St we help Australian companies directly hire top 5% remote talent in the Philippines. You will be hired directly by the client, typically as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote, so you'll be able to work from home.

Who The Client Is:

Our client is a well-established Australian electrical contractor specialising in residential electrical services, with a strong focus on new home builds and multi-unit developments. Since 2013, they have built extensive expertise in delivering high-quality electrical solutions, including new home installations, underground electrical work, and high-end residential projects. The business is committed to quality, reliability, and providing efficient, professional service to builders and clients.

Role Overview:

We are looking for a technically minded AI Automation & Systems Specialist to help identify, build and implement AI-powered systems and automations across the business.

This role is focused on turning AI and automation opportunities into practical, working solutions that save time, reduce manual work, improve data flow and make the business more efficient.

You will work closely with management to understand how different parts of the business operate, identify repetitive or inefficient processes and then design and implement better systems.

The successful candidate does not need to be a traditional software developer. We are looking for someone who is highly capable with AI tools, automation platforms, integrations and business systems, and who can confidently take a process from an idea through to implementation.

• Design, build and implement AI-powered workflows that deliver measurable business value.
• Automate tasks such as data processing, reporting, lead management, document creation, research and internal administration.
• Build, test, monitor and continuously improve automation workflows.
• Evaluate new AI tools and technologies and determine their practical business applications.

Automation & System Integration

• Build and manage workflows using platforms such as Make.com, Zapier, n8n, Power Automate or similar.
• Connect multiple business applications and ensure information flows accurately between systems.
• Integrate CRM, accounting, project management, marketing, communication and other business platforms.
• Work with APIs and webhooks to create reliable system integrations.
• Identify opportunities to eliminate duplicate data entry and improve data accuracy.
• Troubleshoot and maintain existing integrations and automations.

AI Solutions & Advanced Workflows

• Use modern AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or equivalent platforms to improve business productivity.
• Develop effective AI prompts and AI-assisted workflows.
• Build AI assistants, knowledge bases and automated research or reporting workflows where appropriate.
• Assist with AI agents, custom GPTs and other AI-powered solutions.
• Explore opportunities to use AI for lead qualification, document processing, data classification, customer communication and internal knowledge management.

Business Process Improvement

• Understand and document how business processes currently operate.
• Identify bottlenecks, repetitive tasks and opportunities for improvement.
• Recommend practical process changes before implementing automation.
• Build and implement improved workflows.
• Measure whether automation is actually saving time or improving efficiency.
• Create SOPs and process documentation for new systems and workflows.

Documentation & Training

• Document automation workflows, integrations and system processes.
• Create clear SOPs and guides for internal users.
• Train team members on newly implemented systems and tools.
• Ensure solutions are practical, maintainable and easy for others to understand.

Requirements

Skills & Experience

Essential

• 2–4+ years' experience in automation, systems, technology, operations, process improvement or a related role, with proven experience delivering automation or AI solutions in a real business environment.
• Strong hands-on experience with Make.com, Zapier, n8n, Power Automate or similar platforms, and AI tools/APIs such as OpenAI, Claude or Gemini.
• Strong knowledge of APIs, REST integrations, webhooks, OAuth and service accounts, with experience integrating multiple business platforms.
• Working capability in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Experience with PDF, invoice and document-data extraction, as well as CSV, spreadsheet and database processing.

• Experience using Git or another source-control system.
• Strong understanding of business workflows and process improvement, with the ability to map processes and identify automation opportunities.
• Ability to take ownership of solutions from concept through implementation, testing and ongoing support.
• Ability to properly document systems and workflows so they can be maintained by another developer.

• OCR and document-intelligence platforms
• Power BI, Looker Studio or similar dashboards
• Australian trade, construction or field-service businesses

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is:

• A problem solver, rather than simply a task taker.
• Curious about AI and technology and enjoys testing new tools.
• Commercially minded and focused on business outcomes.
• Proactive and comfortable working independently.
• Naturally inclined to ask, “Can this be done better or automated?”
• Comfortable experimenting, testing and refining new solutions.
• Able to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Highly organised, methodical and detail-oriented.
• Focused on practical outcomes rather than automation for automation's sake.

How Success Will Be Measured

• Useful and reliable automations successfully implemented.
• Reduction in manual and repetitive tasks.
• Measurable time and efficiency savings.
• Improved integration and data flow between business systems.
• Reduction in duplicate data entry and manual errors.
• Successful implementation and adoption of AI-powered solutions.

• Work with modern AI, automation and business technologies.
• Take ownership of meaningful automation and systems projects.
• Work directly with management and contribute ideas.
• Build practical solutions that are implemented and used by the business.
• Opportunity to grow into a Senior AI Automation & Systems role as the business expands.
