Über diese Site Manager Stelle bei Gravisrobotics
Gravis Robotics is a high-growth Series A start-up backed by SoftBank, bringing Physical AI to the construction industry, turning heavy construction machines into autonomous robots.
Gravis began as an ETH Zurich spin-out, and our unique combination of learning-based automation and augmented remote control lets one operator safely conduct a fleet of earthmoving machines in a gamified environment.
Backed by deep robotics research and now deployed across multiple countries with leading construction and equipment partners, our team is rapidly growing to bring this technology to a trillion-dollar industry.
The Gravis RACK is a machine-agnostic retrofit kit that adds autonomy to excavators and wheel loaders from 10 to 100+ tonnes: LiDAR and camera sensing, GNSS RTK, networking hardware and rugged edge compute that works offline. Paired with the Slate tablet and our Copilot software, it lets an operator run a machine manually, with AI assistance, or fully autonomously.
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.
