Head of Construction
- Full-time
Company Description
We are building the future of construction.
Our mission is to take the latest sensors from self-driving cars, retrofit them into proven equipment from the job site, and develop a suite of autonomous software designed specifically for the requirements of construction and earthmoving. And over the last two years, with a team of a dozen brilliant engineers, roboticists, and construction experts, that’s what we’ve done. It hasn’t been easy—in fact, no one has ever done what we’re doing—but with over $100 billion in earthmoving and grading services performed in the US each year, it feels like we’re onto something.
We’re backed by a $15M Series A from NEA and Founders Fund—two of the largest and most successful VCs in the world. And we’ve already done several pilot construction jobs, with a clear path to scaling our deployment in 2018.
Job Description
As Head of Construction, you’ll manage all things construction as we prepare to deploy our robots. You’ll be responsible for building relationships with potential customers, hiring a team of operators/construction technicians, bidding on jobs and ensuring the work is completed accurately and quickly. We are looking for someone with hands-on experience with excavation and grading, as well as experience building teams and dealing with construction clients and contractors. You’ll be advising the CEO on technology in the industry and helping to refine our strategic plan over the next year.
