About Us We're automating homebuilding.
Construction is one of the least automated industries in the world.
We're on a mission to change that and to make high-quality homes easy and affordable to build.
Our robotic Micro Factory deploys directly onto a homebuilder's site and produces the wall, floor, and roof panels they need, on demand, as their build progresses.
It arrives in a shipping container, sits on a footprint of max 30 by 30 ft, and runs off generators on a gravel or concrete pad, no grid connection, no permanent site works required.
We own and run the equipment ourselves, our customers buy the panels it produces, not the machine.
Each Micro Factory stays on a customer's site for 3 to 12 months before it's decommissioned and redeployed to the next one.
Backed by Planet A, PT1, Shadow Ventures, and ABB Robotics, we're a small team about to take our biggest step yet towards changing how the world builds homes.
We're past pure R we expect to open a US office within the next year, at which point this may shift depending on where you're based.
Travel : Willingness and ability to travel extensively and often, including internationally, to active construction sites and partner locations.
Reporting line : You'll report directly to the COO.
Bonus if you have: Experience in construction, industrial automation, or another physical/technical operations environment.
Exposure to timber-frame/stick-frame or panelized building systems.
Experience scaling an operational function at a fast-growing company.
A personal motivation around sustainability or reducing construction's environmental footprint.
