About this role
About the Role
We're building out our US field operations and are looking for a Site Manager to run the Gravis system on customer job sites. You'll lead our operators and technicians on site, keep autonomous work running smoothly, and be the day-to-day contact for the contractors and customers we work with.
The role sits between construction and robotics: you'll read a grading plan and direct a crew as easily as you work through a technical problem with our engineers. This is not a desk job.
What you will do
- Plan and direct daily autonomous operations with the customer's site team
- Lead Gravis operators and technicians on site
- Work with the Safety Manager to follow site safety plans
- Confirm site readiness before autonomous work begins
- Coordinate with customer crews and other contractors
- Track and report production, downtime and issues
- Manage project schedules, budgets and change orders
- Coordinate subcontractors and support project invoicing
- Report schedule, cost and risk to customers and leadership
- Write site operating procedures
- Feed field insights back to R&D
###
What we're looking for
- 5+ years running heavy civil, earthwork, mining or industrial operations as a superintendent, foreman or operations manager
- Experience directing equipment operators and field crews, and managing schedules, budgets and subcontractors
- Ability to read construction drawings, site plans, survey data and grading plans
- Working knowledge of OSHA
- Experience training people and writing procedures
- Clear communication with customers, crews and engineers
- Comfort with software and new technology
- Valid US driver's license
###
Additional Beneficial Skills
- Experience with autonomy, robotics or machine control
- Experience launching a new site or program
- Experience working with an international engineering team
###
Location & Travel
Based in the Taylor, TX area and working on site at customer projects, with travel to other job sites as projects require.
