Were a growing team (about 100 team members) of mostly engineers and technicians coming from companies like Palantir Qualcomm Dyson Shopify Tesla Meta and 1X. Its still the early days of building the company and this is a unique opportunity to be an early employee in a high-growth high-ambition startup environment.

About You and This Role

This role will be a mix of being a construction site foreman operations manager account executive analyst and product manager.
One day youll be starting very early to get to a construction site talk to stakeholders and help the team deliverand see actual physical buildings emerge through our robots. On another day you might be in the office analysing your deployments P&L and coming up with a plan on how to improve margins through better processes and changes to our product.
Youll have an extraordinary amount of autonomy in this role and we believe that it is an excellent fit if youve been a startup founder before or are actively seeking a very entrepreneurial role.
What You Might Be Working On
Plan the logistics of a deployment: decide how many and which robots and humans to send coordinate with other subcontractors and make both a day-to-day operational plan while also thinking about the bigger picture and how your decisions impact our unit economics.
Spend time on the construction site overseeing managing and motivating the team; liaising with the general contractors and other stakeholders; and generally representing the company and selling our story. Youre comfortable speaking with the guys building scaffolds the CEOs of the biggest general contractors and our engineers all on the same day.
Work with our existing customer base and drive growth of new construction projects and in the future adjacent product lines beyond bricklaying.
Own the P&L of your deployment and propose ways to continuously improve our unit economics.
Support hiring and interviewing additional robot and deployment operators.
What Were Looking For

Given the local nature of the construction industry this role requires you to be a fluent Dutch speaker.

You dont mind getting your hands (literally) dirty to get the job done.
A strong bias-to-action and getting-shit-done mentality with the required tenacity and speed. The emphasis of this role is execution not analysis.
Youre comfortable in a high-stress environment. Things constantly go wrong at construction sites the stakes are high and were introducing new technology with novel failure modes.
Raw intellectual horsepower and eagerness to learn. We expect this role to have a steep learning curve whatever your background and this role might in practice feel like a completely new job every 3-6 months. Youll learn a lot about construction robotics and being part of a high-growth hard-tech company.
