Who are Eque2? Eque2 provides specialist software for the construction and housebuilding sectors, helping businesses manage everything from estimating and financial management to commercial operations and project delivery. We work with leading platforms including Microsoft, Sage and Xero, helping construction businesses improve visibility, stay in control and manage their operations more effectively. Today, we support over 3,000 construction businesses across the UK and Ireland, from growing contractors to large, complex organisations. Role Purpose To own and prioritise the delivery backlog for Eque2’s cloud estimating and cost-control product, translating product direction and validated customer needs into delivery-ready work. You will use AI-enabled development, design and product management tools to accelerate delivery and help build market-leading customer-facing Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities. About the Role We are seeking a Technical Product Owner to help shape the next generation of Eque2’s cloud estimating and cost-control software. Reporting to the Chalkstring Product Director, you will own backlog quality, prioritisation and day-to-day delivery decisions within the direction set by Product Management, defining clear requirements and testable acceptance criteria for Engineering and QA. You will partner with Product Management, Product Design, Engineering and QA from discovery and rapid prototyping through to customer delivery and validation. You will use AI-enabled product, design and development tools to accelerate this process and play a central role in expanding Chalkstring with capabilities from our established EValuate product. You will engage directly with customers to understand their processes, validate use cases, explore emerging AI opportunities and support acceptance testing, using customer and delivery evidence to inform product decisions. Location: This is a UK-based hybrid role, with office access in Maidenhead and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Travel is required for team, customer and stakeholder meetings, with office attendance expected 1–2 days per week. Is this role right for you? This is a hands-on product delivery role rather than a Product Management position. You will have authority over the delivery backlog, priorities and day-to-day delivery decisions within the direction set by Product Management. Product Management retains ownership of overall product strategy, roadmap direction, pricing and market positioning. This role will suit someone who enjoys being close to customers, Engineering and delivery, and who can turn broad product direction and complex customer needs into well-defined work that teams can confidently build and test. Key Responsibilities Own and prioritise the delivery backlog within Product Management’s agreed direction, making trade-offs, dependencies and delivery decisions visible. Turn validated customer needs into delivery-ready epics, stories, workflows and acceptance criteria that Engineering and QA can implement and test without repeated clarification. Lead refinement and contribute actively to sprint planning and reviews, resolving ambiguity quickly and accepting completed work against agreed criteria. Engage directly with construction customers to understand estimating and cost-control workflows, validate use cases and edge cases, and support user acceptance and adoption. Use AI-enabled development, design and product management tools to accelerate research, requirements, prototyping and delivery while maintaining appropriate review, security and data controls. Identify and validate valuable customer-facing AI opportunities, defining quality thresholds, safeguards, human oversight and evaluation requirements for probabilistic features. Work closely with Product Design, Engineering and QA on workflows, data models, integrations, APIs, technical constraints and testability. Measure adoption, quality and customer outcomes; use evidence to guide iteration, priorities and recommendations to Product Management. Communicate progress, decisions, risks and dependencies clearly, and keep product documentation, release notes, Support and Customer Success briefings current. Knowledge, Skills
