monumental - Construction Robot Operator, UK
Requirements
• The role itself is unlike anything else in construction or tech. You'll travel to and from site, prep a build, place markers for 3D reconstruction, and operate our robots using Atrium, our in-house OS for onsite construction https://www.monumental.co/atrium. When something doesn't go to plan, you'll work with our R&D and operations teams, who manage and support every build remotely. • You'll be the face of Monumental on site. Our robots don't talk, so the general contractors, subcontractors, and trades you work alongside will talk to you instead. You'll spend most of your time building the housing, infrastructure, hospitals, and commercial spaces the UK needs. The rest of the time, you will be at our Hub, building test walls, learning how to service and maintain our robots, and prepping for your next deployment. • Expect a lot of driving: you'll travel to construction sites across the country from our UK hub, and since construction starts early, you'll need to be comfortable with early mornings. • You'll be one of the first people in the UK using software and robots to build, in an industry that's worked the same way for centuries. • WHAT YOU'LL BE WORKING ON • Prepping a real or test construction project: understanding what needs to be built, where, and scoping site conditions • Preparing the site by placing markers and taking photos for 3D reconstruction • Operating our construction robots using our in-house software system on a laptop • Taking notes as the system runs so our R&D team can keep improving the product • Troubleshooting with our engineering, ops, and manufacturing teams in Amsterdam when more complicated issues come up • Handling site tasks including: setting wall ties, cutting and loading bricks and pointing walls • Being an ambassador and the face of Monumental on a construction site • A technical and analytical mindset. You don’t need an engineering degree, but you understand the difference between a hardware and software failure, and how to debug a problem when something breaks - your friends probably come to you for tech support • You love getting your hands dirty and don’t want to sit behind a computer all-day. You will frequently wake up early to drive to a construction site on-time and enjoy being in that context. • You are outcome and detail oriented. You understand that running the robots all day but leaving walls stained and dirty is still a failure when we’re building a house that someone will live in. • Previous experience on a construction site is a strong plus. • You have a drivers license and are comfortable driving a van. • You’re fluent in English (spoken and written). • EMPLOYMENT AND LOGISTICS • Available as a full-time, or part time contractor/sole trader - we'll work with what suits you. • UK-based, commuting from our hub for day-trips to sites. Sponsorship not available for this role.
Benefits
• The UK has missed its housing target by almost 100k homes every year for the last decade, all while the industry is facing a shortage of around 25,000 bricklayers. We're hiring the team that's going to deploy a new way of building to solve this. • It is hard, messy, and deeply rewarding work. If you're driven by the idea of building real things with new technology, we want to hear from you. • For open applications, or if you don't see an exact role match but think you'd be good at this, write to us at [email protected]. Tell us the most interesting or challenging project you've worked on, why you want to join, and your CV or portfolio. • If you don't meet every line above but are excited about Monumental and feel you'd help us solve difficult problems, get in touch. We're open to generalists who get things done and are comfortable learning as they go.
