Monumental is automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Our mission is to make construction software-defined and autonomous - a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings go up in a single day, with minimal labour.
We're a growing team of engineers, operators and technicians from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta and Google DeepMind. It's still the early days of building the company, and this is a chance to make an outsized impact on a problem that matters. From day one, you’ll be working with an experienced founding team, backed by a $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures and Plural.
Monumental is based in the city centre of Amsterdam, in a beautiful facility with an fully equipped workshop and robot testing floor. We build the whole stack in-house - hardware and software, we're explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company - you can't build robots or walls from home, so we're onsite five days a week.

Why you should apply
Over the last century almost every industry has progressed while construction got slower, more expensive, and less beautiful than it used to be - despite making up 13% of global GDP. Europe needs over two million new homes a year and doesn't have the skilled trades to build them - the UK alone is short 20,000 bricklayers for its housebuilding target.
In five years we've gone from designing autonomous bricklaying robots that work, through our first deployments, to building at scale with a fleet of 150+ robots averaging 20 systems building a week. We've laid brick walls for more than 100 homes, a community centre, a hotel and 150m of canal wall - half of everything we've delivered went up this year.
We build the whole stack in-house. Atrium, our operating system for construction, runs design, simulation, computer vision and fleet control in one system. The robots are designed and manufactured at our facility in central Amsterdam.
We're a small, talent-dense team - many of us have founded companies before. We believe speed of iteration is the biggest lever on problems this hard, so we let the people closest to the work own the decisions. Almost all our energy goes into the product and the sites it runs on - not meetings about it.
This is our open application form
If nothing on our jobs page seems like a fit, and you are interested in working here - tell us why. Some of our best hires arrived this way. We're always looking for engineers, operators and technicians, and for generalists who focus on outcomes and are eager to learn on the job.
Show us something you've built, quantify the impact, and tell us what you'd want to work on at Monumental, why you want to join and your CV or portfolio.
One thing to know before you apply: every role today is based in Amsterdam. The UK and US are close behind, with pilots and deployments underway and facilities to follow. If you're interested in any of those locations, tell us where in the form. We don't currently offer internship.
Joining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry. Here, your work has the potential to impact not just the company but the future of how we build. If you're driven by innovation, eager to tackle complex challenges, and ready to make a tangible difference, we want to hear from you.

About the role
We are looking for an assembly technician to join our team. You’ll be part of our machine shop team, and working closely with our hardware and software engineering team.
This role is a generalist technician role in a small startup environment with a lot of variety. You will be responsible for assembling small production series and occasionally building prototypes of our construction robot hardware, including our autonomous ground vehicles, construction cranes, supply systems, and end effectors. You will also be helping out with the maintenance of our existing fleet of robots. After doing an assembly, you actively ask yourself how you could do it 10 times faster if you had to do it over again.
We are unable to support relocation or sponsorship for this role. Applicants must be based in the Netherlands, eligible to work and able to commute onsite to Amsterdam to be considered.
What you’ll do
Fabrication and assembly of production hardware and maintenance of our existing fleet - this could be anything from end-effectors and autonomous ground vehicles that can traverse rough construction sites, to entire robotic cranes.
Maintaining our current fleet of robots: doing occasional health checks on them and ensuring that they are always in great state and ready to be used on site.
Help us run our construction robots and build testing rigs in the office, and occasionally join us and the robots on construction sites to help with whatever is needed.
Help us improve our designs to small series production: planning and organizing a build, feeding back DFM and DFA changes to the engineering team, and assembling the robots.
Promoting and maintaining a safe, clean, and organized working environment.
What we’re looking for
You must feel comfortable in sequencing and building assemblies without a large amount of instructions and documentation.
You take an efficient and organized approach to assembly projects.
Hands on experience assembling parts. We don’t expect any complex machining experience, but you should feel comfortable working with metals and metal tools, e.g. an angle grinder.
Determine with the engineering team what checks are required to ensure the assembly is correct and carry them out.
High attention to detail. You should be able to do quality spot checks and spot mistakes in your own and your peers’ work.
You understand the importance of following procedures when relevant, e.g. bolt selection and tightening torques.
Being able to read a bill of materials, organize and collect parts and off the shelf components.
Strong communication skills. You are able to sit down with an engineer, look at a design together and discuss how to approach a new build while feeding back improvements to them after finishing a project.
Why Monumental?
Joining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry.

About the role
We're looking for a Construction Robot Operator to help create affordable, beautiful, high-quality housing for everyone.
Over the last couple of years, we’ve grown our Amsterdam Operator team from 0 to 45. Many of these came from retail, hospitality and events. Some studied civil, mechanical or computer science and wanted to do something more practical with it. Others grew up on farms, or around workshops, and most are sporty. They all have one thing in common: they'd rather be hands-on outside than stuck behind a desk. If that sounds like you, you'll fit right in.
Given that this is a completely new role within technology, we don’t expect any prior experience. What we're looking for is technical intuition, practicality, and an eye for detail, plus a bias for action: when something's going wrong, you take the initiative to work out what it is, and you're not afraid to get your hands dirty fixing it.
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. 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 Netherlands needs. The rest of the time, you will be at our HQ, building test walls, learning how to service and maintain our robots, and prepping for your next deployment.
For more on how we think about the role, read Jip's post on his experience joining Monumental as a robot operator. Expect a lot of driving: you'll travel to construction sites across the country, and since construction starts early, you'll need to be comfortable with early mornings.
We are unable to support relocation or sponsorship for this role. Applicants must be based in the Netherlands, eligible to work and able to commute onsite to Amsterdam to be considered.
This role is available both as a full-time or part-time contractor (ZZP’er)
What you'll do
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
What we’re looking for
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).

About the role
We’re looking for software engineers with deep knowledge of software engineering and controls engineering to join our team. Help us bring our robots to life and join our mission to bring automation to the construction industry to create affordable, beautiful, high-quality housing for everyone.
We’re building an operating system to make on-site construction possible with robotics. Our software stack allows us to do everything from 3D reconstruction (through photogrammetry) of a construction site, design of 3D structures that will be built, supply chain, path planning, and inverse/forward kinematics of our robots.
Some of the types of challenges you might be working on:
Designing and modeling a localization and control system for our autonomous ground vehicles that can move around a construction site
Designing or optimizing specific control loops, e.g. for mortar flow control through different sensors (e.g. a load cell, or time-of-flight sensors)
Design and explore adding a new degree of freedom to the system
Implementing production-level code at whatever level makes sense (embedded firmware in C++, or our application layer in Rust) necessary to bring your algorithms to life.

You might enjoy reading Bouke's blog post on his experience joining Monumental as a software engineer. You might also enjoy seeing this video by Andreas Klinger of what our office environment looks like.
What you'll do
Design and implementation of controls algorithms, both prototype quality for early experiments and production quality for real-world use. We expect you to write C, C++, Rust or Python code, not doing simulations in Matlab.
Design and implement localization algorithms (e.g., visual-inertial SLAM) and ensure we use the right sensors and logic to figure out where we are in world-space, using sensor fusion when required.
Design and build tools that allow debugging, analysis, and performance evaluation of your algorithms.
Bringing software engineering best practices to our team. You should be able to write production-level code that will stand on its own.
Root cause analysis and general debugging skills whenever things fail.
Taking full ownership of a project, going from idea to prototype to finished project.
What we’re looking for
Experience implementing algorithms for the calibration and motion control, and path planning of complex robotic systems.
Practical and theoretical knowledge on modelling, signal processing, motion planning, sensor fusion, collision avoidance.
Industry experience building and deploying production systems in C, C++, Python, Rust, or comparable languages.
Software engineering skills and best practices. You use git for version control, know how to do unit tests or how to automate deployment of your code.
Basic familiarity with Linux systems and conventions. E.g., you’re comfortable SHH’ing into other machines to figure out why something isn't working.
Experience in troubleshooting issues and conducting root cause analysis.
Preferred experience in building prototypes in a zero-to-one environment and/or top student teams.
B.Sc. in Computer Science, Mechanical-, Mechatronics-, Controls System Engineering or equivalent.

About the role
Over the last few years, Monumental has gone from developing a product that works and delivering our first pilots to building at scale - a fleet of 150+ robots that have laid bricks for 90+ homes, a school, a community centre, a hotel, and 150+ m of canal walls.
We're taking on more construction projects - \"deployments\" - every month, with more robots, more people, and now in new markets as we scale from the Netherlands into the UK and US.
We're hiring versatile operators who want to run a deployment as if it were their own business. Behind every one of these projects is a Deployment Manager who owns it end to end. In practice this is five jobs in one: site foreman, operations manager, account executive, analyst, and project manager. You make the build plan, deploy yourself with your team on site as a subcontractor, manage the contractor relationship, and take responsibility for delivering quality walls, finished on time - in construction, one of the most chaotic industries there is. Your goal will be to run multiple deployments in parallel, overseeing complex and high stakes projects.
One day you're up at dawn, travelling to site, cutting bricks, running the schedule, working with the general contractor and watching your build plan go up brick by brick. The next you'll be at our facility analysing your deployment's P&L and building the systems that improve your margin on the next deployment. You’ll own delivery and translating friction you observe on-site to our R&D team.
This is hard, on-site operations, and some of the most rewarding work you'll find. Robots break, weather turns, the contractor changes the plan, and it's on you to keep the build moving.
You'll have an extraordinary amount of autonomy. It's an excellent fit if you've founded a company before, or if you're looking for an entrepreneurial role where you can make outsized impact.
What you’ll do
Plan the logistics of a deployment: decide how many and which robots and humans to send, coordinate with other subcontractors, and make both a day-to-day operational plan while also thinking about the bigger picture and how your decisions impact our unit economics.
Spend time on the construction site, overseeing, managing, and motivating the team; liaising with the general contractors and other stakeholders; and generally representing the company and selling our story. You’re comfortable speaking with the guys building scaffolds, the CEOs of the biggest general contractors, and our engineers, all on the same day.
Build the operational systems that make each deployment run better than the last - spotting inefficiencies, fixing processes, improving margin
Work with our existing customer base and drive growth of new construction projects and, in the future, adjacent product lines beyond bricklaying.
Own the P&L of your deployment and propose ways to continuously improve our unit economics.
Support hiring and interviewing additional robot and deployment operators.
What we’re looking for
Minimum of 3 years of experience in management as a startup founder, GM, in operations, strategy, business development or a similar area.
Given the local nature of the construction industry, this role requires you to be a native Dutch speaker.
You generally need to be an excellent communicator and be comfortable speaking with a broad range of personas.
You don’t mind getting your hands (literally) dirty to get the job done.
A strong bias-to-action and getting-shit-done mentality with the required tenacity and speed. The emphasis of this role is execution, not analysis.
You’re comfortable in a high-stress environment. Things constantly go wrong at construction sites, the stakes are high, and we’re introducing new technology with novel failure modes.
Raw intellectual horsepower and eagerness to learn. We expect this role to have a steep learning curve whatever your background, and this role might in practice feel like a completely new job every 3-6 months. You’ll learn a lot about construction, robotics, and being part of a high-growth, hard-tech company.
Experience and ability to manage, lead, and motivate a (small) team.
Strong operational and analytical skills. You can build a spreadsheet with a clear operational plan, or present a P&L and model various scenarios and drivers. You’re a strong project manager.

","descriptionPlain":"Monumental is automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Our mission is to make construction software-defined and autonomous - a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings go up in a single day, with minimal labour.\n\n\n\nWe're a growing team of engineers, operators and technicians from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta and Google DeepMind. It's still the early days of building the company, and this is a chance to make an outsized impact on a problem that matters. From day one, you’ll be working with an experienced founding team, backed by a $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures and Plural.\n\n\n\nMonumental is based in the city centre of Amsterdam, in a beautiful facility with an fully equipped workshop and robot testing floor. We build the whole stack in-house - hardware and software, we're explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company - you can't build robots or walls from home, so we're onsite five days a week.\n\n \n\nRead more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, and learn about our vision https://www.monumental.co/our-vision/ and company https://www.monumental.co/about/.

Behind every one of these projects is a Deployment Manager who owns it end to end. In practice this is five jobs in one: site foreman, operations manager, account executive, analyst, and project manager. You make the build plan, deploy yourself with your team on site as a subcontractor, manage the contractor relationship, and take responsibility for delivering quality walls, finished on time - in construction, one of the most chaotic industries there is. Your goal will be to run multiple deployments in parallel, overseeing complex and high stakes projects.\n\n\n\nOne day you're up at dawn, travelling to site, cutting bricks, running the schedule, working with the general contractor and watching your build plan go up brick by brick. The next you'll be at our facility analysing your deployment's P&L and building the systems that improve your margin on the next deployment. You’ll own delivery and translating friction you observe on-site to our R&D team.\n\n\n\nThis is hard, on-site operations, and some of the most rewarding work you'll find. Robots break, weather turns, the contractor changes the plan, and it's on you to keep the build moving.\nYou'll have an extraordinary amount of autonomy. It's an excellent fit if you've founded a company before, or if you're looking for an entrepreneurial role where you can make outsized impact.\n\n\n\nWhat you’ll do\n\n - Plan the logistics of a deployment: decide how many and which robots and humans to send, coordinate with other subcontractors, and make both a day-to-day operational plan while also thinking about the bigger picture and how your decisions impact our unit economics.\n\n - Spend time on the construction site, overseeing, managing, and motivating the team; liaising with the general contractors and other stakeholders; and generally representing the company and selling our story.

About the role
We're looking for a software engineer who wants to build full-stack software that can touch the physical world, not another SaaS product. You’ll develop and deploy software that controls fleets of autonomous construction robots. Full stack at Monumental is really full stack, covering everything from microcontroller firmware up to the web-based UI that operators use to control the robots. We’ve built CAD tools for designing masonry structures, path planning and motion control, telemetry and inspection tools, and distributed data storage and sync.
The technical challenges we're solving combine hardware, software, and infrastructure at scale - while maintaining high availability on construction sites. Atrium, our operating system for construction, is built with TypeScript and Rust. Much of our Rust code is compiled to WebAssembly, allowing our UI to interface directly with the same control code that we deploy to our robots. This gives us a shared stack between real-world deployments and simulated runs in the front-end. You can read about how we control robots with TypeScript in this post by our CTO, Sebastiaan.
As we're deploying more robots and software, we're always running into new challenges. The problems are often not straightforward: poor connectivity on a construction site because of interference, a memory leak that only becomes an issue after hours of runtime, a robot behaving differently than the simulation. This means a lot of creative problem solving is involved. One of our engineers even traced down a problem to a memory leak in Chrome, which got fixed soon after he submitted a bug report.
To help us build, improve, and maintain our platform, we're looking for a strong generalist software engineer. You'll get a lot of autonomy and the chance to build software that builds actual robots and houses. You’ll also get the chance to collaborate with other engineering disciplines (e.g. electrical, mechanical) to support new robot features or debug issues. For more on how we think about the role, read Bouke’s post on his experience joining Monumental as a software engineer.
What you'll do
Building telemetry that lets us see what every robot on site is doing in real time - so when something goes wrong, you know why
Designing the core architecture of our platform, and choosing the right abstractions to map the messy world of construction into elegant software
Prototyping components that talk to our robot's microcontrollers and distributed subsystems - shipping to production, onto a robot laying bricks within hours of writing the code
Debugging complex issues that cut across the stack: e.g. bugs in the Chromium GC; WiFi connection issues with robot systems or race conditions in concurrent Rust code
Writing Rust and TypeScript code that controls the robot in real-time, turning high-level goals into small steps that the robot can execute
Working collaboratively with our team of hardware engineers, control engineers, and robot operators to improve product experience, reliability and performance of our platform
What we’re looking for
Industry experience building and deploying production systems in multiple languages (Rust experience is valuable but not required)
You're probably the person everyone asks for help when an agent does something nobody can explain. You run them in parallel most of the time - to build, review code, catch security issues, draft incident reports. Not just vibe-coding prototypes.
Basic familiarity with Linux systems and conventions. E.g., you’re comfortable SSH’ing into other machines to figure out why something isn't working
Knowledge of common communication protocols, e.g. UDP, TCP/IP and WebSockets
A strong sense of ownership and motivation. You’re able to drive problems and projects start-to-finish without someone project managing you, and can thrive in a chaotic environment.
A high percentage of our software team have been a technical founder, CTO, or founding engineer before. If that’s your background, you’ll likely fit in. But we also get excited by people with a demonstrated background of shipping impressive work at any type of company.
Strong CS or mathematics foundation– you are a strong geometric thinker, understand basic linear algebra and 3D transformations

About the role
We’re looking for engineers with deep knowledge of software and modern 3D computer vision. We’re building an operating system to make on-site construction possible with robotics. Our software stack allows us to do everything from 3D reconstruction of the construction site (through photogrammetry), design of custom wall structures, training and deploying vision algorithms, supply chain, path planning, and robot controls and kinematics.
Some of the challenges we're solving with computer vision:
We make 3D reconstructions of construction sites that let us match the architect's (ideal) drawings to the real world. These reconstructions are made in challenging conditions - low or harsh light, limited space - by operators who aren't computer vision experts, and we need a fast turnaround so our robots can get building immediately.
Our robots place bricks and mortar with sub-millimetre accuracy in a global reference frame. These are higher accuracy requirements than autonomous driving, which means we ask more of our sensors - an off-the-shelf RealSense camera doesn't cut it.
Our robots aren't always on stable ground. Sometimes we build a canal wall from a boat, or work off a wobbly scaffold. That means compensating live, so we can still build a beautiful building.
You can read about how we control robots with TypeScript in this post by our CTO, Sebastiaan. If you're new to robotics, you might enjoy reading Bouke's blog post on his experience joining Monumental as a software engineer.
What you'll do
Developing algorithms for localisation, mapping, calibration, and state estimation using state-of-the-art techniques, allowing us to drive our autonomous vehicles in the ever-changing environment of a construction site.
Building the continuous localisation system for our robots, combining camera, depth, and IMU data to keep track of where the robot is at all times.
Designing and building vision systems that understand the construction site: spec the right cameras and sensors, train models that judge the quality of bricks and mortar, or recognise construction objects.
Implementing robust, production-level code that brings your algorithms to life. You own your projects from start to finish and don't approach problems like a researcher who hands a Jupyter notebook to a separate software engineering team.
Measuring the performance of our sensing system on a continuous basis, characterising the sources of error and performing root cause analysis - even when the robot is out on a construction site and you don't have direct physical access to it.
What we’re looking for
Industry experience building and deploying 3D vision systems into production.
Deep understanding of, and hands-on experience with, multiple hardware sensor systems - LiDARs, IMUs, and (depth) cameras.
Experience developing, implementing, and testing mapping, localisation and state estimation algorithms such as (VI-)SLAM, VIO, ICP, and Kalman filters.
Ideally, some experience with real-time, deep-learning-based computer vision - e.g. multi-object tracking systems.
Proven software engineering experience in C, C++, Python, Rust, or comparable languages - beyond doing things in a Jupyter notebook.
Software engineering best practices: git for version control, unit testing, automated deployment.
A strong bias for action and output. We're not a research organisation - we ship frequently and iterate fast.
A strong sense of ownership and motivation.

About the role
We're looking for a Construction Robot Operator to introduce robots and automation to the construction industry in the UK, helping create affordable, beautiful, high-quality housing for everyone.
Over the last couple of years, we’ve grown our Amsterdam Operator team from 0 to 45. Many of these came from retail, hospitality and events. Some studied civil, mechanical or computer engineering and wanted to do something more practical with it. Others grew up on farms, or around workshops, and most are sporty. They all have one thing in common: they'd rather be hands-on outside than stuck behind a desk. If that sounds like you, you'll fit right in.
Given that this is a completely new role, we don’t expect any prior experience. What we're looking for is technical intuition, practicality, and an eye for detail, plus a bias for action: when something's going wrong, you take the initiative to work out what it is, and you're not afraid to get your hands dirty fixing it.
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. 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.
For more on how we think about the role, read Jip's post on his experience joining Monumental as a robot operator. 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.
We are unable to support relocation or sponsorship for this role. Applicants must be based in the United Kingdom, eligible to work and able to commute onsite to London to be considered.
What you’ll do
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
What we’re looking for
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
5 days a week as a contractor/sole trader
UK-based, commuting from our hub for day-trips to sites. Sponsorship not available for this role.
Why Monumental?
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 iwanttojoin@monumental.co. 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.

About the role
Monumental are automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Atrium, our operating system for construction, lets us do everything from building walls with our robots, to designing buildings, managing our robot fleet, analyzing data, and much more. Our stack is broad by necessity: we use Rust for many things from robot middleware to back-end services, TypeScript across our web app and internal tools, and NixOS to manage our servers as well as the computers in our robots.
As we're deploying more robots and software, we're always running into new challenges. The problems are often not straightforward: poor connectivity on a construction site because of interference, a memory leak that only becomes an issue after hours of runtime, a robot behaving differently than the simulation. This means a lot of creative problem solving is involved. One of our engineers even traced down a problem to a memory leak in Chrome, which got fixed soon after he submitted a bug report.
Additionally, because we're scaling our operations, the scope of our software also keeps growing. We're now building internal apps for scheduling robot operators, planning site logistics and maintenance, and improving manufacturing. To make these applications possible, we need well-architected software and reliable software infrastructure.
To help us build, improve, and maintain our platform, we're looking for a strong generalist software engineer. Full stack at Monumental is really full stack, from the firmware for our robot's actuators to our in-house document database. You'll get a lot of autonomy and the chance to build software that builds actual robots and houses. You’ll also get the chance to collaborate with other engineering disciplines (e.g. electrical, mechanical) to support new robot features or debug issues. For more on how we think about the role, read Bouke’s post on his experience joining Monumental as a software engineer.
What you'll do
Shipping features across the full stack from robot firmware and Rust services up through the web UI, touching multiple layers.
Hardening production systems by tracking down subtle bugs like memory leaks, network backpressure issues, or race conditions that only show up in real deployments.
Owning our infrastructure end-to-end (bare-metal servers, NixOS configs, deploy tooling, …) so that shipping changes to a robot on-site or a service is fast and reliable.
Building observability across our entire fleet so when something goes wrong on a robot or a service, the team immediately knows where to look and why.
Building tools that multiply the whole team's effectiveness such as debugging tools, data visualization tools, or a platform that allows non-technical people to create their own apps.
Improving our data infrastructure, from our in-house typed document database to ClickHouse.
What we’re looking for
Industry experience building and deploying production systems in multiple languages (Rust experience is valuable but not required)
A strong sense of ownership and motivation. You’re able to drive problems and projects start-to-finish without someone project managing you, and can thrive in a chaotic environment.
Familiarity with Linux systems and conventions. E.g., you’re comfortable SSH’ing into other machines to figure out why something isn't working.
Knowledge of common communication protocols, e.g. UDP, TCP and WebSockets
Strong CS or mathematics foundation. Understanding basic linear algebra and 3D transformations is a strong plus.
A high percentage of our software team have been a technical founder, CTO, or founding engineer before. If that’s your background, you’ll likely fit in. But we also get excited by people with a demonstrated background of shipping impressive work at any type of company.
Why Monumental?
Joining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry. Here, your work has the potential to impact not just the company but the future of how we build. If you're driven by innovation, eager to tackle complex challenges, and ready to make a tangible difference, we want to hear from you.
For open applications (where you don’t see an exact role match), please reach out to us at: iwanttojoin@monumental.co - share with us the most interesting or challenging project you’ve worked on, why you want to join and your CV or portfolio.
Unfortunately we do not currently support internships.
If you don’t meet all the qualifications here but are excited about Monumental and feel you’d still be able to help us solve difficult problems, do get in touch. We welcome generalists who focus on outcomes and are eager to learn on the job.

About the role
We're looking for an extremely entrepreneurial operator. You’re going to be our first General Manager outside of Europe, so this is not going to be a role where you’ll follow some playbook to establish a new market: you’re going to figure out and write the playbook yourself, the hard and complicated way.
Monumental is unique in that we're completely vertically-integrated. We design and build our own hardware and software, we manufacture the robots in-house, and we deploy them on construction sites ourselves, with our own team, operating as a subcontractor.
If the prospect of deploying cutting-edge technology in an operationally complex environment that hasn't seen change for over a century, while doing sales and building up a local team doesn't daunt you, then you should definitely read on and apply.
You'll have an extraordinary amount of autonomy. It's an excellent fit if you've founded a company before, or if you're looking for an entrepreneurial role where you can make outsized impact. You'll get high level goals (see below) but no one will tell you what to do or manage you on a daily basis.
We are unable to support relocation or sponsorship for this role. Applicants must be based in the US, eligible to work willing for frequent travel between the US and the Netherlands.
What you'll do
Figure out how to go from small construction pilot deployments to ongoing commercial deployments, and then scale to multiple concurrent deployments. We expect you to act as the initial Deployment Manager in the US so you can build up enough tacit knowledge before scaling up.
Ensure there is always more than sufficient demand for our product. Our sales tends to be low-lift work, but you should still be excellent at it and always have the feeling that you're short on supply to meet the demand you've generated.
Hire, onboard, and manage a local team of robot and deployment operators that will operate our robots and other tasks on construction sites. We're planning to seed the US team with members from our Dutch team so you can hit the ground running and more easily bootstrap Monumental's unique culture in a new location.
Manage our fleet of robots and, with the rest of the HQ team, figure out how to manage a remote fleet across the Atlantic.
Set up whatever local facilities will be needed in the US, from a small office to a potential storage or maintenance hub.
Stand up the required legal structure for us to operate and scale in the US. This includes setting up local entities, navigating state and federal employment law, and all other relevant regulation. You're comfortable navigating complicated questions that involve new technology in old industries, liaising with the right counsel when needed.
What we’re looking for
Minimum of 6 years of experience in a chaotic, entrepreneurial, high-growth, unstructured environment. This could be as a startup founder, GM, sales, operations, business development or a similar area where you've seen rapid growth, and where we don't need to explain to you why grit and resilience are important character traits for this role.
A strong bias-to-action and getting-shit-done mentality with the required tenacity and speed. The emphasis of this role is execution, not making decks.
You're able to context switch from strategic work to very practical work throughout the day, and nothing feels beneath you. There will be days where in the morning you're literally getting your feet dirty, helping carry mortar on a construction site, while interviewing senior candidates in the afternoon.
A strong strategic business sense. You have proven experience doing sales, pricing, negotiations, and account management. You're comfortable being responsible for the P&L of your deployments and the entire US operation.
You're an excellent communicator. You need to be comfortable chatting with people from all over the construction industry, from billionaire real estate developers to junior tradesmen on the construction site.
You have experience hiring and managing a team and you understand the importance of filtering for and instilling the right culture. You'll be responsible for hiring the initial team in the US.
Raw intellectual horsepower and eagerness to learn. We expect this role to have a steep learning curve whatever your background, and this role might in practice feel like a completely new job every 3-6 months.
Willingness for frequent travel within the US, and between the US & The Netherlands. We expect you to spend a significant amount of time in The Netherlands in the first 3-6 months for onboarding and immersion, and then likely some travel cadence after.
A child-like excitement and optimism to be building the future, with robots, that will build houses for people to live in.

About the role
Monumental are already deploying robots into the real world at scale, building beautiful, bespoke homes. Our robots are on sites across the Netherlands and the UK and will be in the US within a year. Every deployment teaches us something about our hardware; you’ll push our R&D fleet to become one ready for large-series production: you'll own taking us from tens of robots a year to hundreds, and then thousands. You'll also keep that growing fleet deployable, and making design changes yourself to improve reliability and serviceability.
Scaling a fleet means solving whatever is in the way: limited space, no clear production process, lead times we can't live with and modules that don't survive the harsh conditions of a construction site. You’ll be expected to wear many hats; we’re looking for people who are genuinely excited to lead these efforts.
Our robots are built from modules at every level of maturity, so expect to work with the hardware R&D team at early stages of development to validate R&D designs as fast as we can. In parallel, you'll be in the workshop determining how we assemble them: the processes, the fixtures, the production space itself, getting the very best out of our Amsterdam facilities.
For more context on building hardware at Monumental, read Niall’s Substack: I quit my job and moved country to make robots that will fix Europe’s housing crisis.
What you'll do
Bottom line, you'll own increasing our quarterly production from 30 sets of robot systems to 100 within a year. This is a challenge. You'll be building the production capabilities at Monumental rather than inheriting them, and you'll do it alongside engineers and technicians who care a great deal about getting this right.
Take prototypes through to production-ready modules. Find and address design flaws, validate improvements, and push these modules to production.
Assembling modules, understand the friction slowing production, and address issues yourself along with the hardware team.
Develop fixtures, jigs and light automation solutions to support module assembly.
Find production processes that bring minimal value when done in-house. Work with external suppliers to outsource them, while maintaining production quality.
Produce drawings, assembly instructions and quality checks to make sure our modules are integrated together and our robots are brought up with no errors.
What we're looking for
Industry experience, ideally in a VC-backed start-up, transitioning products from prototype to production
Hands-on, analytical mindset: skilled at building assemblies, running studies, analysing data, solving production and quality issues, and collaborating with technicians to implement and validate improvements
Proficiency in mechanical assembly (press fits, fastener selection, harness, etc.)
Strong knowledge of GD&T and producing 3D and 2D drawings
Experience creating structured process documentation (work instructions, SOPs, quality checklists)
Good communication skills in English, both written and spoken
Nice-to-haves
BSc in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent
Familiarity with robotics or complex electromechanical systems
Experience with ERP tools (Odoo or similar)

About the role
Monumental are looking for a mechanical engineer to mature our current robot design and enable us build out and deploy a thousand-strong robot fleet to build beautiful, bespoke buildings. Our robots are deployed on sites across the Netherlands and the UK and will be in the US within a year.
Most robotic applications require robots to function in controlled, clean environments. This is not the case at Monumental. Our robots must be reliable enough to withstand the harsh realities of a construction site: rain, dirt, temperature cycles and impact. This role will focus on improving the reliability of our robots, so that our growing fleet will survive months on construction sites with minimal maintenance. Expect to be regularly on site, so you know our product inside out. If you want an office job, this isn't the role for you.
For more context on building hardware at Monumental, read Niall’s Substack on why he quit his job and moved country to make robots to fix Europe’s housing crisis.
What you'll do
Own making sure our robots can build on construction sites for months with minimal downtime. Like most things at Monumental, we track this using the number of deployment bricks laid. You'll get us to 12,000 bricks laid before a hardware failure.
Rapidly understand how our robots work, the hardware that goes into them, and their failure modes. Systematically improve their design with respect to reliability, and conduct rigorous testing to validate the improvements.
Own the loop from discovering a failure in the field to a validated fix shipped to the fleet. Root cause the failure, design and test the fix in the office, then validate it holds up in the field.
Make sure R&D hardware is validated before it scales. Define validation criteria for hardware, design rigs for reliability testing, and raise the bar for validation within the hardware team.
Work with the maintenance team, both in the office and on deployments. Find maintenance pain points and fix them.
What we're looking for
2+ years of experience in reliability and test engineering, ideally in robotics. You have taken hardware that didn't survive its environment and made it robust.
Strong experience with environmental and mechanical reliability tests: IP, temperature, vibration and shock. You have designed and built the test rigs and run the analysis yourself.
Experience making and repairing electromechanical assemblies.
Experience shipping hardware from prototype through to medium-series production.
Strong knowledge of GD&T, and producing 2D and 3D drawings.
Nice-to-haves
BSc in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent.
Examples of delivering complex electromechanical assemblies that operated at scale in harsh environments.
Experience developing accelerated life reliability tests.
Experience with electric motors, gearboxes, or actuators

About the role
We are looking for a mechanical engineer to join our team of hardware and software engineers, working to bring robots and automation to the construction industry to create affordable, beautiful, high quality housing for everyone. You are a maker, who enjoys building physical things from start to finish, with a bias for speed and simplicity.
You enjoy contributing across the entire engineering process: asking the right questions to scope a problem, doing back of the envelope calculations, fabricating parts in our workshop, testing your design live on a construction site and iterating on it to produce a robust and scalable design.
We’re tackling some of the hardest problems in construction robotics: full on-site autonomy, lifting construction-scale payloads, reliable operation at height, and millimetre-level positioning accuracy across our entire technology stack. We’re looking for people who are genuinely excited to lead these efforts alongside a highly capable and supportive team.
Our approach to building robots has focused on identifying the key areas that need de-risking and tackling them head-on through rapid prototyping. This has allowed us to achieve remarkable results in a surprisingly short amount of time, defying conventional expectations. If our approach excites you, this role could be a great fit for your interests and skills.
What you’ll do
Imagine a fleet of autonomous robots rolling onto a construction site in the morning and by sundown, a fully built, beautiful home stands ready for a family to move in. That’s the future we’re building.
Today, our robot systems are already constructing real homes across the Netherlands at scale. But we’re just getting started. Your work won’t be about incremental improvements, you’ll tackle broad and novel problems that unlock autonomous construction:
Pushing toward full robot autonomy for our masonry systems: automated wall-anchor installation and mortar pointing to produce beautiful brickwork. Autonomous lift platforms and fully automated material-supply enabling our fleet to work uninterrupted across large, messy sites.
Designing for reliability: our robots need to be tough enough to survive months of harsh construction conditions, yet serviceable and redeployable in under 24 hours.
Building next-gen hardware to expand what our robots can do: higher-precision brick placement, larger payloads, expanded build envelopes, hot-swappable end effectors, and operation in tight, constrained spaces like scaffolding.
Getting hands-on in the field: you’ll join deployments where we’re building real homes, whilst stress-testing systems and uncovering the edge-case problems that can only be found in the field.
What we’re looking for
A proven record of being a builder and being able to work autonomously: you can point us to example of shipped projects where you were the driving force of getting something done. This can be in a professional context, in a top student (”dream”) team, or even just personal side projects.
Experience in designing and delivering products from concept up to low series volume.
Proficiency in rapid prototyping, 3D printing, machining, and milling to make product designs a reality.
Deep knowledge of mechanical systems and structural dynamics: e.g. statics, mechanics of materials, dynamics, vibrations, material science, and controls.
Expertise with 3D CAD modeling with complex parts and assemblies, e.g. OnShape, Solidworks, or Siemens NX.
Expertise in multi-physics simulations (FEA) applied to structural designing problems, e.g. Comsol and Ansys, but also being able to do hand calculations when that makes the most sense.
Experience selecting, sourcing, and integrating electronics components (e.g. actuators, sensors, cameras) into hardware design.
Being able to write (embedded) code in C or C++ is a plus.
B.Sc. in mechanical, mechatronics, or robotics engineering or similar experience is a nice to have
Why Monumental?
Joining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry.

About the role
We're building robots to bring automation to construction, making affordable, beautiful, high-quality housing possible at scale. We're looking for a mechatronics engineer who's a maker at heart, with a bias for speed and simplicity, who can design a robot on paper and build one in real life.
In this role, you'll own entire mechatronic systems from idea through to production. You'll be involved in every stage of the engineering process: scoping broad, novel capabilities, running back-of-envelope calculations, and driving hardware design through prototyping, testing, and validation. This includes actuator and sensor selection, system integration and firmware development. You'll debug hardware issues both at our office and onsite, test on live construction sites, and iterate toward robust, scalable designs. Once you've proven you can own tightly scoped projects, you'll lead broader problem spaces with a small multidisciplinary team.
The challenges are real: full on-site autonomy, construction-scale payloads, reliable operation at height, and millimetre-level positioning across our stack. We want people genuinely excited to tackle these alongside a capable, supportive team.
Our approach focuses on identifying key risks and attacking them through rapid prototyping, not lengthy design cycles. You'll have high autonomy and minimal drag: few meetings, no unnecessary approvals.
What you'll do
Imagine a fleet of autonomous robots rolling onto a construction site in the morning and by sundown, a fully built, beautiful home stands ready for a family to move in. That’s the future we’re building.
Today, our robot systems are already constructing real homes across the Netherlands at scale. But we’re just getting started. Your work won’t be about incremental improvements, you’ll tackle broad and novel problems that unlock autonomous construction:

Getting hands-on in the field: you’ll join deployments where we’re building real homes, whilst stress-testing systems and uncovering the edge-case problems that can only be found in the field. This will help you determine new critical features to unlock and learn what our product needs long-term.
What we’re looking for
Someone who can design hardware from scratch.
You’re comfortable working at the interface between mechanical, software, controls, and vision engineering. You won't be expected to develop control systems or vision algorithms, but you should be able to collaborate effectively to ship complete projects.
Experience developing proof-of-concept prototypes in the shortest amount of time.
Source all required components;
Fabricate the necessary parts in-house whether 3D printed, CNC-milled or turned.
Integrating and validating actuators and electronics: microcontrollers, sensors, motors, solenoids, encoders, and related hardware
Writing or adapting simple embedded code (Arduino, ESP32, etc.) to bring up electronics, run basic tests, and verify mechanisms
While you'll have support from our in-house electronics experts to productise successful concepts, we're looking for someone who's confident building quick, scrappy prototypes more-or-less independently. You won't need to design production-ready PCBs yourself, but you should be able to understand system requirements and translate them into clear briefs for our electronics engineers to develop.
Experience going from prototype to production.
Handing over validated prototypes to our production team, providing the context they need to scale and optimise for manufacturing.
Collaborating with electronics engineers to communicate system requirements and ensure designs are robust and scalable.
Producing clean CAD in Onshape following best practices, ready for others to refine for production.
Creating first drafts of technical drawings, documentation, and other artefacts that the production team can develop into full production packages.
Bonus: experience in early-stage startups or top student team competitions.
B.Sc. in electrical, mechatronics, or robotics engineering or equivalent experience.

About the role
The typical startup advice to become an effective engineer is “go spend time with your users”. Our version of this is “go spend time with our robots in their natural habitat, the construction site”.
It turns out to be very hard to sit in an office behind a desk and improve the behavior and performance of a robot, tuning kinematics, or scoping new features that interact with the messy real world of a construction site. We’ve found that the most effective way of doing this is being with the robot and being in a position where you can fix it yourself instead of asking another engineer to do it for you.
Our FDREs own the technical side of deployments end-to-end. You will be a key driver in making every deployment successful, taking ownership of solving unknown problems in the field, building features that unlock higher productivity, and continuously improving our workflows to increase autonomy. Your work directly influences how many bricks we can build, how quickly we can deploy new capabilities, and how reliably our robots operate. Because FDREs sit closest to both the product and the customer, the improvements you make can have a direct and significant impact on the business, shaping how we scale our operations and deliver value. While helping us build beautiful homes faster, more efficiently, and autonomously.
We don’t expect you to have prior experience with robotics. Our ideal candidate has excellent problem solving and debugging skills, combines technical skills with creativity, and can deal with high stress environments when things fail. You’re a strong engineer but above all obsessed with driving good outcomes.
If you’re done with doing yet another SaaS job, this is a unique opportunity to bring yourself back into the real world: you’ll learn how buildings get built, how robots work, and be at the cutting edge of applied robotics. If this sounds interesting, you should read about Alfred's Substack, What happens when robots ignore construction rules or Alex’s can robots build beautiful things?
Help us bring our robots to life and join our mission to bring automation to the construction industry to create affordable, beautiful, high-quality housing for everyone. If you're new to robotics, you might like reading Bouke's blog post on his experience joining Monumental as a software engineer and Josefine's interview with a seat at the table.
What you’ll be working on
As a starting point, you’ll be comfortable building walls with our robots, similar to our Construction Robot Operators.
The topology of the site, niche project details, or edge cases that we haven’t dealt with before. It’s your primary responsibility to identify those issues and to own solving that start-to-finish: coming up with a solution, writing the code to fix it, deploy and test on a robot, and ensure rolling out to our entire fleet. We do this in fast iteration cycles of hours and days, not weeks.
Debugging failures that happen on-site: part of this is typical software & hardware debugging, but then have the product sense to develop a solution to structurally fix the problems you find.
Taking broader notes on things you’re seeing on the construction site and with our robots that you can’t take on immediately or yourself. 10-20% of this job is a bit like being a product manager, identifying new projects and opportunities that can be discussed with the wider team.
Being the face and ambassador of the company on a construction site. Our robots don’t talk so people will typically chat to you if they see you next to a robot.
What we’re looking for
Ability to code: we don’t care if you’re self-taught, went through a coding academy, or have a M.Sc. or PhD in Computer Science. You need to be able to solve complex engineering problems with code and have at least 2 years of experience doing this professionally.
We don’t expect any prior experience with robotics, but being comfortable with basic mathematics (e.g., linear algebra) and reasoning geometrically is a strong plus.
Outcome driven mentality, you focus on solving the most important problem, not the most challenging or interesting one.
A natural sense of urgency, you ship fast and aren't precious about it - a scrappy fix that gets the robot building today beats the elegant one thats finished next month.
You are excellent at debugging and decomposing problems. Our stack is very deep, given that things can fail both in hardware and software, and you can logically reason through various failure modes.
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 don’t need to have any experience on a construction site though.
You’re fluent in English (spoken and written).
A British passport is a bonus.
Why Monumental?
Joining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry. Here, your work has the potential to impact not just the company but the future of how we build. If you're driven by innovation, eager to tackle complex challenges, and ready to make a tangible difference, we want to hear from you.
For open applications (where you don’t see an exact role match), please reach out to us at: iwanttojoin@monumental.co - share with us the most interesting or challenging project you’ve worked on, why you want to join and your CV or portfolio.
Unfortunately we do not currently support internships.
If you don’t meet all the qualifications here but are excited about Monumental and feel you’d still be able to help us solve difficult problems, do get in touch. We welcome generalists who focus on outcomes and are eager to learn on the job.
Monumental is automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Our mission is to make construction software-defined and autonomous - a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings go up in a single day, with minimal labour.
We're a growing team of engineers, operators and technicians from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta and Google DeepMind. It's still the early days of building the company, and this is a chance to make an outsized impact on a problem that matters. From day one, you’ll be working with an experienced founding team, backed by a $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures and Plural.
Monumental is based in the city centre of Amsterdam, in a beautiful facility with an fully equipped workshop and robot testing floor. We build the whole stack in-house - hardware and software, we're explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company - you can't build robots or walls from home, so we're onsite five days a week.
Read more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, and learn about our vision and company. You might enjoy our YouTube Channel, Based in Europe’s film on how we’re fixing Europe’s housing shortage, or this video by Andreas Klinger of what our office looks like.
About the role
At Monumental we’re automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Atrium, our operating system for construction, lets us do everything from designing the 3D structures we'll build, to managing our robot fleet, planning operations, and analyzing data.
As we scale our operations and manufacture, deploy, and maintain more robots, the scope of our software keeps growing. We're now building internal apps for scheduling robot operators, planning site logistics and maintenance, and improving manufacturing. We're looking for a product engineer to help us build more and better internal tools, and to move manual processes into software.
We call it product engineering because you won't just be handed requirements. You'll talk to the people who'll use what you build (your colleagues), work out what's actually worth building, implement it, deploy it, and check whether it helped. If you enjoy building software products start to finish on your own, this role is a good fit. You'll get a lot of autonomy and the chance to build software that builds actual robots and houses. For more on how we think about the role, read Tobias’ post on why now is a great time to be a product engineer at Monumental.
What you'll do
Taking a problem from a colleague and understanding it, building a prototype, getting it in their hands, and iterating on the solution - often all in the same day.
Designing and building tools to manage a growing fleet of robots spread across multiple sites.
Extending Fenestra, our Notion-like internal tool for viewing and editing data from different sources.
Helping bring prototypes from the ops and manufacturing teams to production, cleaning up the data model and code along the way.
Working with hardware engineers, control engineers, and robot operators to find the best product experience for genuinely hard problems.
Writing clean, idiomatic, typed production TypeScript and React. We also use Rust in places.
Debugging memory leaks, crashes, and other problems, often by digging into the root cause yourself.
Deploying and maintaining new backend services your tools need.
What we’re looking for
You've built full-featured web apps in idiomatic TypeScript and shipped them. React experience is a plus.
Proven experience in building products in a zero-to-one environment, on your own or in a small team. This can be a side-project you’ve worked on, an indie app, or some other project you can show us.
An eye for good design, both UI and UX.
A strong sense of ownership. You can drive a project from start to finish without anyone managing you, and you're comfortable when things are chaotic.
You use coding agents to ship faster and unblock yourself but take full ownership of the features you build with AI.
You pick up new languages and tools quickly. Rust experience is a plus.
Basic familiarity with Linux systems. E.g., you’re comfortable ssh’ing into other machines to figure out why something isn't working.

Read more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, and learn about our vision and company. You might enjoy our YouTube Channel, Based in Europe’s film on how we’re fixing Europe’s housing shortage, or this video by Andreas Klinger of what our office looks like.
About the role
Over the last few years, Monumental has gone from developing a product that works and delivering our first pilots to building at scale - a fleet of 150+ robots that have laid bricks for 90+ homes, a school, a community centre, a hotel, and 150+ m of canal walls.
We're taking on more construction projects - \"deployments\" - every month, with more robots, more people, and now in new markets as we scale from the Netherlands into the UK and US.
As Hub Lead, you’ll stand up our first hub outside HQ, in the north of the Netherlands. You’ll start by running our largest deployment to date, then build the team and operations around it as the project pipeline ramps up behind you.
We're hiring versatile operators who want to run a deployment as if it were their own business. Behind every one of these projects is a Deployment Manager who owns it end to end. In practice this is five jobs in one: site foreman, operations manager, account executive, analyst, and project manager. You make the build plan, deploy yourself with your team on site as a subcontractor, manage the contractor relationship, and take responsibility for delivering quality walls, finished on time - in construction, one of the most chaotic industries there is. Your goal will be to run multiple deployments in parallel, overseeing complex and high stakes projects.
One day you're up at dawn, travelling to site, cutting bricks, running the schedule, working with the general contractor and watching your build plan go up brick by brick. The next you'll be at our facility analysing your deployment's P&L and building the systems that improve your margin on the next deployment. You’ll own delivery and translating friction you observe on-site to our R&D team.
This is hard, on-site operations, and some of the most rewarding work you'll find. Robots break, weather turns, the contractor changes the plan, and it's on you to keep the build moving.
You'll have an extraordinary amount of autonomy. It's an excellent fit if you've founded a company before, or if you're looking for an entrepreneurial role where you can make outsized impact.
What you’ll do
Plan the logistics of a deployment: decide how many and which robots and humans to send, coordinate with other subcontractors, and make both a day-to-day operational plan while also thinking about the bigger picture and how your decisions impact our unit economics.
Spend time on the construction site, overseeing, managing, and motivating the team; liaising with the general contractors and other stakeholders; and generally representing the company and selling our story. You’re comfortable speaking with the guys building scaffolds, the CEOs of the biggest general contractors, and our engineers, all on the same day.
Build the operational systems that make each deployment run better than the last - spotting inefficiencies, fixing processes, improving margin
Work with our existing customer base and drive growth of new construction projects and, in the future, adjacent product lines beyond bricklaying.
Own the P&L of your deployment and propose ways to continuously improve our unit economics.
Support hiring and interviewing additional robot and deployment operators.
What we’re looking for
Minimum of 3 years of experience in management as a startup founder, GM, in operations, strategy, business development or a similar area.
Given the local nature of the construction industry, this role requires you to be a native Dutch speaker.
You generally need to be an excellent communicator and be comfortable speaking with a broad range of personas.
You don’t mind getting your hands (literally) dirty to get the job done.
A strong bias-to-action and getting-shit-done mentality with the required tenacity and speed. The emphasis of this role is execution, not analysis.
You’re comfortable in a high-stress environment. Things constantly go wrong at construction sites, the stakes are high, and we’re introducing new technology with novel failure modes.
Raw intellectual horsepower and eagerness to learn. We expect this role to have a steep learning curve whatever your background, and this role might in practice feel like a completely new job every 3-6 months. You’ll learn a lot about construction, robotics, and being part of a high-growth, hard-tech company.
Experience and ability to manage, lead, and motivate a (small) team.
Strong operational and analytical skills. You can build a spreadsheet with a clear operational plan, or present a P&L and model various scenarios and drivers. You’re a strong project manager.

We’re looking for someone to join Finance Ops and take responsibility for the financial operations behind Monumental. You’ll own the end-of-month (EOM) close across multiple countries, entities and currencies, working closely with our finance and operations teams. Alongside closing, you’ll handle invoice processing and financial administration.
This role is open to junior candidates starting their careers as well as people with 1–3 years of experience in accounting or finance operations at a startup. You enjoy working with numbers and want to understand how a company runs. You don’t need a background in robotics or construction. Curiosity, care with details and a willingness to ask questions matter.
Your work will help suppliers get paid on time, colleagues make informed decisions and the company keep financial records it can trust. Some tasks are repetitive and require patience. You’ll also help improve the processes behind them, so recurring problems get fixed.
Finance operations will be your main focus, alongside occasional projects such as researching a supplier, preparing an analysis or helping set up a new process. As you learn the business, you’ll take on greater responsibility and more complex work.
Process supplier invoices. Check invoices against orders and supporting documents, assign the right categories, resolve discrepancies and gather approvals so payments can be made on time.
Own the end-of-month close. Take responsibility for an accurate, timely close across multiple countries, entities and currencies. Reconcile accounts and intercompany balances, check that invoices and expenses are recorded in the right period, account for currency differences and resolve outstanding items with the finance team.
Keep financial records organised. Maintain supplier details, receipts and expense records. Help prepare customer invoices, track payments and answer questions from colleagues and suppliers.
Improve how we work. Spot recurring errors, document processes and use software and AI to reduce manual work, checking the results carefully.
Contribute to broader projects. Help the operations team with research, analysis and process improvements as priorities arise, while keeping finance operations as your core responsibility.
An interest in finance and business. You might be a junior candidate looking to build a strong foundation in financial operations, or bring 1–3 years of accounting or finance ops experience at a startup. We’ll tailor onboarding and support to your experience, with ownership of the monthly close as a core responsibility.
Care with numbers. You can work through an invoice or spreadsheet, notice when something doesn’t add up and investigate it.
Organisation and follow-through. You track deadlines, follow up on missing information and flag when priorities conflict.
Clear communication. You’re comfortable asking questions, working with colleagues and suppliers, and raising problems early.
Comfort with spreadsheets and a willingness to learn new systems. You’re interested in finding better ways to do recurring work.
Good judgement with confidential information. You handle financial and company information carefully.
Nice to have: experience with bookkeeping, accounting software or month-end closing is helpful, but not required. You don’t need to have done every task listed here before applying.
What you’ll gain
You’ll learn how financial operations connect to a business that designs, manufactures and deploys its own robots. Working closely with the finance and operations teams, you’ll build experience across the monthly finance cycle and develop your ability to investigate discrepancies, improve processes and take responsibility for more complex work.

Our mission is to make construction software-defined and autonomous - a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings go up in a single day, with minimal labour.\n\nWe're a growing team of engineers, operators and technicians from diverse backgrounds, including consumer tech, finance and media, and companies like Dyson, Shopify, Meta and Tesla. It's still the early days of building the company, and this is a chance to make an outsized impact on a problem that matters. From day one, you'll be working with an experienced founding team, backed by a $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures and Plural, alongside other renowned investors.\n\nMonumental is based in the city centre of Amsterdam, in a beautiful facility with a fully equipped workshop and robot testing floor. We build the whole stack in-house, hardware and software. Our work involves building robots in our workshop and houses on real construction sites, so we're onsite five days a week.\n\nRead more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, and learn about our vision https://www.monumental.co/our-vision/ and company https://www.monumental.co/about/. You might enjoy our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@buildmonumental, Based in Europe’s film on how we’re fixing Europe’s housing shortage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Q2F0Fcx4A, or this video by Andreas Klinger of what our office looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOo8n19XEns.\n\n \n\n\nABOUT THE ROLE\n\nWe’re looking for someone to join Finance Ops and take responsibility for the financial operations behind Monumental. You’ll own the end-of-month (EOM) close across multiple countries, entities and currencies, working closely with our finance and operations teams. Alongside closing, you’ll handle invoice processing and financial administration.\n\nThis role is open to junior candidates starting their careers as well as people with 1–3 years of experience in accounting or finance operations at a startup. You enjoy working with numbers and want to understand how a company runs. You don’t need a background in robotics or construction. Curiosity, care with details and a willingness to ask questions matter.\n\nYour work will help suppliers get paid on time, colleagues make informed decisions and the company keep financial records it can trust. Some tasks are repetitive and require patience. You’ll also help improve the processes behind them, so recurring problems get fixed.\n\nFinance operations will be your main focus, alongside occasional projects such as researching a supplier, preparing an analysis or helping set up a new process. As you learn the business, you’ll take on greater responsibility and more complex work.\n\n \n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\n\n - Process supplier invoices. Check invoices against orders and supporting documents, assign the right categories, resolve discrepancies and gather approvals so payments can be made on time.\n\n - Own the end-of-month close. Take responsibility for an accurate, timely close across multiple countries, entities and currencies. Reconcile accounts and intercompany balances, check that invoices and expenses are recorded in the right period, account for currency differences and resolve outstanding items with the finance team.\n\n - Keep financial records organised. Maintain supplier details, receipts and expense records. Help prepare customer invoices, track payments and answer questions from colleagues and suppliers.\n\n - Improve how we work. Spot recurring errors, document processes and use software and AI to reduce manual work, checking the results carefully.\n\n - Contribute to broader projects. Help the operations team with research, analysis and process improvements as priorities arise, while keeping finance operations as your core responsibility.\n\n \n\n\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\n\n - An interest in finance and business. You might be a junior candidate looking to build a strong foundation in financial operations, or bring 1–3 years of accounting or finance ops experience at a startup. We’ll tailor onboarding and support to your experience, with ownership of the monthly close as a core responsibility.\n\n - Care with numbers. You can work through an invoice or spreadsheet, notice when something doesn’t add up and investigate it.\n\n - Organisation and follow-through. You track deadlines, follow up on missing information and flag when priorities conflict.\n\n - Clear communication. You’re comfortable asking questions, working with colleagues and suppliers, and raising problems early.\n\n - Comfort with spreadsheets and a willingness to learn new systems. You’re interested in finding better ways to do recurring work.\n\n - Good judgement with confidential information. You handle financial and company information carefully.\n\n - Nice to have: experience with bookkeeping, accounting software or month-end closing is helpful, but not required. You don’t need to have done every task listed here before applying.\n\nWhat you’ll gain\n\nYou’ll learn how financial operations connect to a business that designs, manufactures and deploys its own robots. Working closely with the finance and operations teams, you’ll build experience across the monthly finance cycle and develop your ability to investigate discrepancies, improve processes and take responsibility for more complex work.\n\n \n\n\nWHY MONUMENTAL?\n\nJoining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry. Here, your work has the potential to impact not just the company but the future of how we build. If you're driven by innovation, eager to tackle complex challenges, and ready to make a tangible difference, we want to hear from you.\n\nFor open applications (where you don't see an exact role match), please reach out to us at: iwanttojoin@monumental.co - share with us the most interesting or challenging project you've worked on, why you want to join and your CV or portfolio.\n\nUnfortunately we do not currently support internships.\n\nIf you don't meet all the qualifications here but are excited about Monumental and feel you'd still be able to help us tackle complex challenges, do get in touch.

Our mission is to make construction software-defined and autonomous - a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings go up in a single day, with minimal labour.
We're a growing team of engineers, operators and technicians from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta and Google DeepMind.

From day one, you’ll be working with an experienced founding team, backed by a $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures and Plural.
Monumental is based in the city centre of Amsterdam, in a beautiful facility with an fully equipped workshop and robot testing floor. We build the whole stack in-house - hardware and software, we're explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company - you can't build robots or walls from home, so we're onsite five days a week.

About the role
Monumental is unique in that we’re completely vertically-integrated. We design and build our own hardware and software, we manufacture the robots in-house, and we deploy them on construction sites ourselves, with our own team, operating as a subcontractor.
We build cutting-edge technology, but we sell the old-fashioned way: by showing up, walking the site, and earning trust in person. If you’re looking for a remote-first role, this isn’t it. Onsite construction usually starts before sunrise on a site in a town you'd otherwise never visit.
Construction is one of the most chaotic industries there is, and we're deploying hardware and software into it in a way that hasn't happened before. Robots fail, contractors change the plan, and it's on you to keep the build moving forward no matter what.
We call these projects deployments. So far our operators, deployment managers and fleet of 150+ robots have laid bricks for 100+ homes, a school, a community centre, a hotel, and 150+ metres of canal wall - and we're taking on more every month as we scale from the Netherlands into the UK and US.
In practice the job is five jobs in one: site foreman, operations manager, account executive, analyst, and project manager. You make the build plan, deploy yourself with your team on site as a subcontractor, manage the contractor relationship, and take responsibility for delivering quality walls, finished on time.
The other half of the job happens back at our facility. Managing your deployment's P&L, planning the build plan for the next one, and reconsidering the operational systems to improve your margin. You own the delivery, and you own translating the friction you see on site back to our R&D team.
This is a very entrepreneurial role - you'll get an extraordinary amount of autonomy, if you've spent the last couple of years building something operationally messy - startup, scale-up, running your own company, or in a heavy industry where the plan changes routinely. You'll run one deployment first, then several in parallel. Run it like it's your own business, because in practice it is.
What you'll do
Plan the logistics of a deployment: decide how many and which robots and humans to send, coordinate with other subcontractors, and build both a day-to-day operational plan and a view of how your decisions move our unit economics.
Spend real time on the construction site, overseeing, managing and motivating the team; liaising with the general contractors and other stakeholders; and generally representing the company and selling our story. You're comfortable speaking with the guys building scaffolds, the CEOs of the biggest general contractors, and our engineers, all on the same day.
Build the operational systems that make each deployment run better than the last - spotting inefficiencies, fixing processes, improving margin.
Own the P&L of your deployment and keep proposing ways to improve our unit economics.
Work with our existing customer base and drive growth of new construction projects and, in the future, adjacent product lines beyond bricklaying.
Support hiring and interviewing additional robot and deployment operators.
What we’re looking for
2-5 years of industry experience in operations, commercial, project delivery, or running your own company. We care far more about what you've personally owned than the title above it.
You've worked somewhere chaotic. Startups and scale-ups, construction, logistics and last-mile delivery, e-mobility, offshore, field services - environments where plans break daily and someone has to absorb it.
Given the local nature of the construction industry, this role requires you to be a native Dutch speaker.
You're an excellent communicator and comfortable speaking with a broad range of personas.
You don't mind getting your hands (literally) dirty to get the job done.
A strong bias-to-action and getting-shit-done mentality with the required tenacity and speed. The emphasis of this role is execution, not analysis.
You're comfortable in a high-stress environment. Things constantly go wrong at construction sites, the stakes are high, and we're introducing new technology with novel failure modes.
You've led people, even informally - a crew, a shift, a small team, your own subcontractors.
Strong operational and analytical skills. You can build a spreadsheet with a clear operational plan, or present a P&L and model various scenarios and drivers. You're a strong project manager.
Raw intellectual horsepower and eagerness to learn. We expect this role to have a steep learning curve whatever your background, and it might in practice feel like a completely new job every 3-6 months. You'll learn a lot about construction, robotics, and being part of a high-growth, hard-tech company.

Everyone should be able to afford a well-built home in a beautiful neighborhood. Our ambition is to help solve the housing crisis and bring beauty back to the places we live. We are developing robots that can make intricate, high-quality construction affordable at scale. We are hiring our founding Robot Operators in the United States, starting with our first pilot in San Antonio, Texas.
You will help bring a system already used on sites in the Netherlands and the UK to a new market. As one of our first US operators, you will help establish how we work on site and give our engineering team direct feedback from the field.
This is hands-on construction work with robots. You will move bricks and mortar, keep the robots supplied, set up equipment and clean the site. You will also operate the robots using Atrium, our in-house software, and work with our engineers when something needs fixing.
No previous robotics or construction experience is required. We are looking for practical people with technical intuition, an eye for detail and the initiative to solve problems. We will train you to operate our systems. This is a full-time role. Start date: mid-November. Training takes place in San Antonio, Texas, with experienced members of our Netherlands team. Training costs are covered by Monumental.
Our operators come from construction, retail, hospitality, events, farms, workshops and engineering. What they share is a preference for working with their hands and seeing the things they build.
Prepare construction projects: understand the build plan and assess site conditions.
Place markers and take photos for 3D reconstruction.
Set up and operate masonry robots using a laptop and our software.
Carry and load bricks and mortar, move equipment and keep the work area safe and tidy.
Help with site tasks such as cutting bricks, setting wall ties and pointing walls.
Troubleshoot with our engineering and operations teams.
Record problems and improvements so our engineers can develop the hardware and software.
Work with the contractors and trades around you as the face of Monumental on site.
A practical, technical mindset and a willingness to learn.
Comfort with physical work outdoors, early starts and changing site conditions.
Attention to detail: the quality of the finished wall matters.
Initiative when something does not go to plan.
A valid driver’s license and comfort driving to construction sites.
Good spoken and written English for working with our team.
Construction, maintenance or other hands-on experience is useful, but not required.
This is an on-site role. Our first demo site and pilots will be in San Antonio, Texas. Our main US office will be set up in Austin, Texas. You need to be able to work on construction sites in the San Antonio area. This is not a remote role.
You will be part of the team bringing our robots to US construction sites for the first time. The work combines physical building, technical problem-solving and direct collaboration with the people developing the robots. Your feedback will help shape the next deployment.
Learn more about Monumental, Atrium and life as a Robot Operator.
If you do not meet every line above but enjoy building things and solving practical problems, we would still like to hear from you.

Our first demo site and pilots will be in San Antonio, Texas. Our main US office will be set up in Austin, Texas. You need to be able to work on construction sites in the San Antonio area. This is not a remote role.\n\n\nWHY MONUMENTAL?\n\nYou will be part of the team bringing our robots to US construction sites for the first time. The work combines physical building, technical problem-solving and direct collaboration with the people developing the robots. Your feedback will help shape the next deployment.\n\nLearn more about Monumental https://www.monumental.co/about, Atrium https://www.monumental.co/atrium and life as a Robot Operator https://www.monumental.co/blog/the-best-product-job-isnt-in-engineering.\n\nIf you do not meet every line above but enjoy building things and solving practical problems, we would still like to hear from you."},{"id":"248588dc-bea2-4f71-b7b8-2dd2dbfb5f36","title":"People Ops Associate","department":"Company Operations","team":"Company Operations","employmentType":"FullTime","location":"Amsterdam","secondaryLocations":[],"publishedAt":"2026-10-07T09:31:30.009+00:00","isListed":true,"isRemote":false,"workplaceType":"OnSite","address":{"postalAddress":{"addressRegion":"","addressCountry":"Netherlands","addressLocality":"Amsterdam"}},"jobUrl":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/monumental/248588dc-bea2-4f71-b7b8-2dd2dbfb5f36","applyUrl":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/monumental/248588dc-bea2-4f71-b7b8-2dd2dbfb5f36/application","descriptionHtml":"Monumental is automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Our mission is to make construction software-defined and autonomous - a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings go up in a single day, with minimal labour.
We're a growing team of engineers, operators and technicians from diverse backgrounds, including consumer tech, finance and media, and companies like Dyson, Shopify, Meta and Tesla. It's still the early days of building the company, and this is a chance to make an outsized impact on a problem that matters. From day one, you'll be working with an experienced founding team, backed by a $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures and Plural, alongside other renowned investors.
Monumental is based in the city centre of Amsterdam, in a beautiful facility with a fully equipped workshop and robot testing floor. We build the whole stack in-house, hardware and software. Our work involves building robots in our workshop and houses on real construction sites, so we're onsite five days a week.

We’re looking for a People Ops Associate to help run the day-to-day people operations behind Monumental. You’ll work closely with our People Ops team, supporting colleagues from their first day to their last and keeping our HR administration accurate and up to date.
This is a role for someone near the start of their career who already has hands-on experience in People Ops or HR in the Netherlands. Fluent Dutch, spoken and written, and experience with Dutch HR processes are hard requirements. You don’t need a background in robotics or construction.
Your work will help new colleagues get started properly, employees get clear answers and the company keep people records it can trust. Some tasks are repetitive and require patience. You’ll also improve the processes behind them, so recurring problems get fixed.
Your focus will be People Ops: onboarding and offboarding, employment administration, employee questions and the practical processes that keep a growing team running. As you learn the business, you’ll take on greater responsibility within People Ops.
Run onboarding and offboarding. Coordinate paperwork, start dates, introductions and checklists with the relevant teams. Make sure new colleagues have what they need and departures are handled carefully and on time.
Keep HR administration accurate. Prepare and track employment documents and contract changes, maintain employee records and follow up on missing information or upcoming deadlines.
Support Dutch people processes. Keep leave and absence records up to date, coordinate the employee changes and information needed for payroll, and support routine HR processes under the guidance of the People Ops team.
Be a helpful point of contact. Answer practical questions from colleagues in Dutch and English, communicate clearly with external HR providers and flag sensitive or complex issues to the right person.
Improve how we work. Spot recurring errors, document processes and use HR systems and software to reduce manual work while protecting employee information and checking the results carefully.
Fluent Dutch, spoken and written (required). You can independently handle employee questions, HR documents and communication with Dutch service providers. You’re also comfortable working in English with our international team.
Hands-on People Ops or HR experience in the Netherlands (required). You’ve worked with Dutch HR administration and employment processes, such as contracts, onboarding, leave or absence administration and payroll inputs. This is a junior role, but it is not a first introduction to Dutch HR.
Accuracy you take responsibility for. You check contracts and employee records against the agreed details before sharing them, including names, dates, working hours and compensation. You ask when something is unclear, catch mistakes in your own work and use feedback to prevent them from recurring.
Sound prioritisation and follow-through. You organise your work around deadlines and the impact on employees and the business. You can distinguish a contract needed for tomorrow’s starter from admin that can wait, clarify trade-offs when requests compete and keep people informed until the work is finished.
A helpful, hands-on attitude. You’re happy to help with the practical work that makes People Ops run: scanning documents, giving a new colleague an office tour or moving employee records into our HR system. You bring the same care and friendly manner to routine requests as to larger projects.
Clear communication and discretion. You’re approachable and responsive with colleagues, ask questions when needed and handle confidential employee information carefully.
Comfort with HR systems and spreadsheets. You’re willing to learn new tools and interested in finding better ways to do recurring work.
Nice to have: experience in a growing company or improving an HR process. You don’t need to have done every task listed here, but Dutch fluency and Dutch People Ops or HR experience are essential.
What you’ll gain
You’ll learn how People Ops supports a company that designs, manufactures and deploys its own robots. Working closely with the People Ops team, you’ll build experience across the employee lifecycle and develop your ability to solve practical HR problems, improve processes and take responsibility for more complex work.
Joining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry. Here, your work has the potential to impact not just the company but the future of how we build. If you're driven by innovation, eager to tackle complex challenges, and ready to make a tangible difference, we want to hear from you.
For open applications (where you don't see an exact role match), please reach out to us at: iwanttojoin@monumental.co - share with us the most interesting or challenging project you've worked on, why you want to join and your CV or portfolio.
Unfortunately we do not currently support internships.

About the role
At Monumental we’re automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Atrium, our operating system for construction, lets us do everything from designing the 3D structures we'll build, to managing our robot fleet, planning operations, and analyzing data.
As we scale our operations and manufacture, deploy, and maintain more robots, the scope of our software keeps growing. We're now building internal apps for scheduling robot operators, planning site logistics and maintenance, and improving manufacturing. We're looking for a frontend engineer to help us build more and better internal tools, and to move manual processes into software.
You won't just be handed requirements. You'll talk to the people who'll use what you build (your colleagues), work out what's actually worth building, implement it, deploy it, and check whether it helped. If you enjoy building software products start to finish on your own, this role is a good fit. You'll get a lot of autonomy and the chance to build software that builds actual robots and houses. For more on how we think about the role, read Tobias’ post on why now is a great time to be a product engineer at Monumental.
What you'll do
Taking a problem from a colleague and understanding it, building a prototype, getting it in their hands, and iterating on the solution - often all in the same day.
Designing and building tools to manage a growing fleet of robots spread across multiple sites.
Extending Fenestra, our Notion-like internal tool for viewing and editing data from different sources.
Helping bring prototypes from the ops and manufacturing teams to production, cleaning up the data model and code along the way.
Working with hardware engineers, control engineers, and robot operators to find the best product experience for genuinely hard problems.
Writing clean, idiomatic, typed production TypeScript and React. We also use Rust in places.
Debugging memory leaks, crashes, and other problems, often by digging into the root cause yourself.
Deploying and maintaining new backend services your tools need.
What we’re looking for
You've built full-featured web apps in idiomatic TypeScript and shipped them. React experience is a plus.
Proven experience in building products in a zero-to-one environment, on your own or in a small team. This can be a side-project you’ve worked on, an indie app, or some other project you can show us.
An eye for good design, both UI and UX.
A strong sense of ownership. You can drive a project from start to finish without anyone managing you, and you're comfortable when things are chaotic.
You use coding agents to ship faster and unblock yourself but take full ownership of the features you build with AI.
You pick up new languages and tools quickly. Rust experience is a plus.
Basic familiarity with Linux systems. E.g., you’re comfortable ssh’ing into other machines to figure out why something isn't working.

Onze missie is om de bouw software-defined en autonoom te maken – een toekomst waarin mooie gebouwen op maat in één dag verrijzen, met minimale inzet van handwerk.
We zijn een groeiend team van engineers, operators en technici, afkomstig van bedrijven als Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta en Google DeepMind. We staan nog aan het begin van het opbouwen van dit bedrijf, en dit is je kans om buitenproportioneel veel impact te maken op een probleem dat écht uitmaakt. Vanaf dag één werk je samen met een ervaren foundingteam, met een Series B van $32M achter ons onder leiding van Khosla Ventures en Plural.
Monumental zit in het centrum van Amsterdam, in een prachtig pand met een volledig uitgeruste werkplaats en een eigen testvloer voor robots. We bouwen de hele stack in-house – hardware én software. We zijn uitdrukkelijk geen hybride of remote-first bedrijf: robots en muren bouw je niet vanaf je keukentafel, dus we werken vijf dagen per week op locatie.
Lees meer over waarom wij vinden dat je je tijd aan de bouw zou moeten besteden, en over onze visie en ons bedrijf. Misschien vind je ons YouTube-kanaal interessant, de film van Based in Europe over hoe we het Europese woningtekort aanpakken, of deze video van Andreas Klinger over hoe ons kantoor eruitziet.
Over de functie
Monumental opent zijn tweede hub in Nederland: we komen naar Groningen.
Dit is het grootste project dat we ooit hebben aangepakt: ruim 100 woningen (eigenlijk een klein dorp) en een hotel. Het zijn twee aparte projecten die tegelijk lopen. Als ze klaar zijn, kun je met je familie door een wijk lopen die je zelf hebt helpen bouwen, met robots.
Het dorp, Hart van Opwierde, wordt aardbevingsbestendig herbouwd. Tientallen jaren gaswinning onder Groningen hebben huizen in de hele regio beschadigd, en bewoners wonen al die tijd in tijdelijke woningen. We zijn trots dat onze robots mogen helpen om hen weer thuis te laten komen.
Onze missie is een toekomst waarin iedereen een goede woning kan betalen, in een mooie stad of een mooi dorp. Groningen weet al hoe dat eruitziet. Van de gotische bakstenen muren van de Der Aa-kerk en de Martinikerk tot de bakstenen gevel van het Academiegebouw: er wordt hier al eeuwenlang prachtig gebouwd. Dit zijn precies de plekken waar wij graag bouwen.
De afgelopen jaren is Monumental gegroeid van een werkend product en de eerste proefprojecten naar bouwen op grote schaal. Inmiddels hebben we een vloot van meer dan 150 robots, die metselwerk hebben uitgevoerd voor meer dan 90 woningen, een school, een buurthuis, een hotel en meer dan 150 meter kanaalwand.
Elke maand nemen we meer bouwprojecten aan, intern noemen we die ‘deployments’. We werken met meer robots en meer mensen en breiden vanuit Nederland uit naar het Verenigd Koninkrijk en de VS.
Als Project Leider zet je onze eerste vestiging buiten het hoofdkantoor op, in het noorden van Nederland. Je begint met ons grootste bouwproject tot nu toe. Naarmate er meer projecten bijkomen, bouw je het team en de operatie verder uit.
We zoeken mensen die breed inzetbaar zijn en een bouwproject willen leiden alsof het hun eigen bedrijf is. Achter elk project staat een Project Leider die van begin tot eind verantwoordelijk is. In de praktijk vervul je vijf rollen tegelijk: uitvoerder, operationeel manager, accountmanager, analist en projectmanager. Je maakt het bouwplan, voert het met je team als onderaannemer uit, onderhoudt het contact met de aannemer en zorgt dat we goed metselwerk op tijd opleveren. Dat doe je in de bouw, waar plannen voortdurend veranderen. Uiteindelijk leid je meerdere projecten tegelijk, waaronder complexe projecten waarbij veel op het spel staat.
De ene dag sta je bij zonsopgang op en ga je naar de bouwplaats. Je zaagt stenen, bewaakt de planning, stemt af met de hoofdaannemer en ziet je bouwplan steen voor steen werkelijkheid worden. De volgende dag zit je op onze vestiging, analyseer je de winst- en verliesrekening van je project en werk je aan systemen waarmee je bij het volgende project een betere marge haalt. Je bent verantwoordelijk voor de oplevering en geeft knelpunten die je op de bouwplaats tegenkomt door aan ons R&D-team.
Dit is intensief, praktisch werk op locatie, waar je veel voldoening uit kunt halen. Robots gaan kapot, het weer slaat om en de aannemer verandert het plan. Jij zorgt dat de bouw doorgaat.
Je krijgt veel vrijheid en verantwoordelijkheid. De rol past goed bij je als je eerder een bedrijf hebt opgericht, of als je een ondernemende functie zoekt waarin je veel invloed hebt op het resultaat.
Wat je gaat doen
De logistiek van een bouwproject plannen. Je bepaalt hoeveel en welke robots en mensen nodig zijn, stemt af met andere onderaannemers en maakt de dagelijkse planning. Tegelijk houd je het grotere geheel in het oog en begrijp je wat jouw keuzes betekenen voor de kosten en opbrengsten per project.
Op de bouwplaats het team aansturen, begeleiden en motiveren. Je onderhoudt het contact met hoofdaannemers en andere betrokkenen, vertegenwoordigt Monumental en legt uit wat we doen. Je schakelt net zo makkelijk met steigerbouwers als met de CEO’s van de grootste hoofdaannemers en onze engineers.
Operationele systemen opzetten waarmee elk project beter verloopt dan het vorige. Je ziet waar tijd en middelen verloren gaan, past processen aan en verbetert de marge.
Samenwerken met bestaande klanten en zorgen dat daar nieuwe bouwprojecten uit voortkomen. In de toekomst doe je dat ook voor aanverwante productlijnen buiten het metselwerk.
Verantwoordelijkheid nemen voor de winst- en verliesrekening van je project en voorstellen doen om de kosten en opbrengsten per project steeds verder te verbeteren.
Helpen bij het werven en interviewen van nieuwe robotoperators en deployment operators.
Wat we zoeken
Minimaal drie jaar ervaring startupervaring, als operator, manager, of founder.
Nederlands als moedertaal. De bouwsector is sterk lokaal georganiseerd, dus dit is een vereiste voor de functie.
Je communiceert helder en makkelijk met mensen met uiteenlopende achtergronden.
Je bent bereid om letterlijk je handen vuil te maken om het werk gedaan te krijgen.
Je komt snel in actie, zet door en krijgt dingen voor elkaar. In deze functie draait het vooral om uitvoeren.
Je kunt goed omgaan met hoge werkdruk. Op bouwplaatsen gaat regelmatig iets mis en staat er veel op het spel. Daar komt bij dat we nieuwe technologie inzetten waarvan we nog niet alle mogelijke storingen kennen.
Je denkt scherp en leert graag. Welke achtergrond je ook hebt, je zult in deze rol veel en snel moeten leren. Het werk kan elke drie tot zes maanden als een nieuwe baan voelen. Je leert veel over de bouw, robotica en werken in een snelgroeiend technologiebedrijf.
Je hebt ervaring met het aansturen van een klein team en weet hoe je mensen begeleidt en motiveert.
Je bent operationeel en analytisch sterk. Je kunt een helder operationeel plan uitwerken in een spreadsheet, een winst- en verliesrekening presenteren en verschillende scenario’s doorrekenen, inclusief de factoren die het resultaat bepalen. Je bent een sterke projectmanager.

","descriptionPlain":"Monumental automatiseert de bouw met robotica en software. Onze missie is om de bouw software-defined en autonoom te maken – een toekomst waarin mooie gebouwen op maat in één dag verrijzen, met minimale inzet van handwerk.\n\n\n\nWe zijn een groeiend team van engineers, operators en technici, afkomstig van bedrijven als Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta en Google DeepMind. We staan nog aan het begin van het opbouwen van dit bedrijf, en dit is je kans om buitenproportioneel veel impact te maken op een probleem dat écht uitmaakt. Vanaf dag één werk je samen met een ervaren foundingteam, met een Series B van $32M achter ons onder leiding van Khosla Ventures en Plural.\n\n\n\nMonumental zit in het centrum van Amsterdam, in een prachtig pand met een volledig uitgeruste werkplaats en een eigen testvloer voor robots. We bouwen de hele stack in-house – hardware én software. We zijn uitdrukkelijk geen hybride of remote-first bedrijf: robots en muren bouw je niet vanaf je keukentafel, dus we werken vijf dagen per week op locatie.\n\n\n\nLees meer over waarom wij vinden dat je je tijd aan de bouw zou moeten besteden, en over onze visie https://www.monumental.co/our-vision/ en ons bedrijf https://www.monumental.co/about/. Misschien vind je ons YouTube-kanaal https://www.youtube.com/@buildmonumentalinteressant, de film van Based in Europe over hoe we het Europese woningtekort aanpakken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Q2F0Fcx4A, of deze video van Andreas Klinger over hoe ons kantoor eruitziet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOo8n19XEns\n\n\n\nOver de functie\n\nMonumental opent zijn tweede hub in Nederland: we komen naar Groningen.\n\n\n\nDit is het grootste project dat we ooit hebben aangepakt: ruim 100 woningen (eigenlijk een klein dorp) en een hotel. Het zijn twee aparte projecten die tegelijk lopen. Als ze klaar zijn, kun je met je familie door een wijk lopen die je zelf hebt helpen bouwen, met robots.\n\n\n\nHet dorp, Hart van Opwierde, wordt aardbevingsbestendig herbouwd. Tientallen jaren gaswinning onder Groningen hebben huizen in de hele regio beschadigd, en bewoners wonen al die tijd in tijdelijke woningen. We zijn trots dat onze robots mogen helpen om hen weer thuis te laten komen.\n\n\n\nOnze missie is een toekomst waarin iedereen een goede woning kan betalen, in een mooie stad of een mooi dorp. Groningen weet al hoe dat eruitziet. Van de gotische bakstenen muren van de Der Aa-kerk en de Martinikerk tot de bakstenen gevel van het Academiegebouw: er wordt hier al eeuwenlang prachtig gebouwd. Dit zijn precies de plekken waar wij graag bouwen.\n\n\n\nDe afgelopen jaren is Monumental gegroeid van een werkend product en de eerste proefprojecten naar bouwen op grote schaal. Inmiddels hebben we een vloot van meer dan 150 robots, die metselwerk hebben uitgevoerd voor meer dan 90 woningen, een school, een buurthuis, een hotel en meer dan 150 meter kanaalwand.\n\n\n\nElke maand nemen we meer bouwprojecten aan, intern noemen we die ‘deployments’. We werken met meer robots en meer mensen en breiden vanuit Nederland uit naar het Verenigd Koninkrijk en de VS.\n\n\n\nAls Project Leider zet je onze eerste vestiging buiten het hoofdkantoor op, in het noorden van Nederland. Je begint met ons grootste bouwproject tot nu toe. Naarmate er meer projecten bijkomen, bouw je het team en de operatie verder uit.\n\n\n\nWe zoeken mensen die breed inzetbaar zijn en een bouwproject willen leiden alsof het hun eigen bedrijf is. Achter elk project staat een Project Leider die van begin tot eind verantwoordelijk is. In de praktijk vervul je vijf rollen tegelijk: uitvoerder, operationeel manager, accountmanager, analist en projectmanager. Je maakt het bouwplan, voert het met je team als onderaannemer uit, onderhoudt het contact met de aannemer en zorgt dat we goed metselwerk op tijd opleveren. Dat doe je in de bouw, waar plannen voortdurend veranderen. Uiteindelijk leid je meerdere projecten tegelijk, waaronder complexe projecten waarbij veel op het spel staat.\n\n\n\nDe ene dag sta je bij zonsopgang op en ga je naar de bouwplaats. Je zaagt stenen, bewaakt de planning, stemt af met de hoofdaannemer en ziet je bouwplan steen voor steen werkelijkheid worden. De volgende dag zit je op onze vestiging, analyseer je de winst- en verliesrekening van je project en werk je aan systemen waarmee je bij het volgende project een betere marge haalt. Je bent verantwoordelijk voor de oplevering en geeft knelpunten die je op de bouwplaats tegenkomt door aan ons R&D-team.\n\n\n\nDit is intensief, praktisch werk op locatie, waar je veel voldoening uit kunt halen. Robots gaan kapot, het weer slaat om en de aannemer verandert het plan. Jij zorgt dat de bouw doorgaat.\n\n\n\nJe krijgt veel vrijheid en verantwoordelijkheid. De rol past goed bij je als je eerder een bedrijf hebt opgericht, of als je een ondernemende functie zoekt waarin je veel invloed hebt op het resultaat.\n\n\n\nWat je gaat doen\n\n - De logistiek van een bouwproject plannen. Je bepaalt hoeveel en welke robots en mensen nodig zijn, stemt af met andere onderaannemers en maakt de dagelijkse planning. Tegelijk houd je het grotere geheel in het oog en begrijp je wat jouw keuzes betekenen voor de kosten en opbrengsten per project.\n\n - Op de bouwplaats het team aansturen, begeleiden en motiveren. Je onderhoudt het contact met hoofdaannemers en andere betrokkenen, vertegenwoordigt Monumental en legt uit wat we doen. Je schakelt net zo makkelijk met steigerbouwers als met de CEO’s van de grootste hoofdaannemers en onze engineers.\n\n - Operationele systemen opzetten waarmee elk project beter verloopt dan het vorige. Je ziet waar tijd en middelen verloren gaan, past processen aan en verbetert de marge.\n\n - Samenwerken met bestaande klanten en zorgen dat daar nieuwe bouwprojecten uit voortkomen. In de toekomst doe je dat ook voor aanverwante productlijnen buiten het metselwerk.\n\n - Verantwoordelijkheid nemen voor de winst- en verliesrekening van je project en voorstellen doen om de kosten en opbrengsten per project steeds verder te verbeteren.\n\n - Helpen bij het werven en interviewen van nieuwe robotoperators en deployment operators.\n\n\n\nWat we zoeken\n\n - Minimaal drie jaar ervaring startupervaring, als operator, manager, of founder.\n\n - Nederlands als moedertaal. De bouwsector is sterk lokaal georganiseerd, dus dit is een vereiste voor de functie.\n\n - Je communiceert helder en makkelijk met mensen met uiteenlopende achtergronden.\n\n - Je bent bereid om letterlijk je handen vuil te maken om het werk gedaan te krijgen.\n\n - Je komt snel in actie, zet door en krijgt dingen voor elkaar. In deze functie draait het vooral om uitvoeren.\n\n - Je kunt goed omgaan met hoge werkdruk. Op bouwplaatsen gaat regelmatig iets mis en staat er veel op het spel.

It's still the early days of building the company, and this is a chance to make an outsized impact on a problem that matters. From day one, you'll be working with an experienced founding team, backed by a $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures and Plural, alongside other renowned investors.
Monumental is based in the city centre of Amsterdam, in a beautiful facility with a fully equipped workshop and robot testing floor. We build the whole stack in-house, hardware and software. Our work involves building robots in our workshop and houses on real construction sites, so we're onsite five days a week.
Read more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, and learn about our vision and company. You might enjoy our YouTube Channel, Based in Europe’s film on how we’re fixing Europe’s housing shortage, or this video by Andreas Klinger of what our office looks like.
You’ll transport robots that build houses. You’ll load them at our Amsterdam workshop, get them onto construction sites, and bring them back for repairs before their next job. When a team needs a replacement robot to keep building, you’re the person who gets it there.
We’re hiring our first Robot Transporter. We already have 150+ robots in the field and we’re expanding from the Netherlands into the UK and US. You’ll be the first person dedicated to getting our robots, equipment and materials where they need to be, helping more teams build more homes.
Your day could take you from the workshop to several active construction sites, delivering robots, collecting systems for repair and getting equipment to the next crew. You’ll work out the order of stops, what fits in each vehicle, and how to load and secure it safely. You’ll drive a C-licence box truck or B-licence van, work closely with our deployment team, and get to know the robots and the people building with them.
This is practical, physical work with room to take charge. You’ll start by planning alongside the deployment team, then take ownership of routes and transport requests as you learn the sites and loads. Plans change, sites get muddy, and teams depend on you. You’ll see the houses going up and know you helped get them built.
We are unable to support relocation or sponsorship for this role. Applicants must be based in the Netherlands, eligible to work and able to commute onsite to Amsterdam to be considered.
Drive. Operate our leased C-licence box truck and our B-licence van across the Netherlands, usually two or more movements a day. When a move needs a flatbed with forklift loading, you arrange it.
Plan the day’s transport. Work with the deployment team on the day’s plan: what goes in which vehicle, and the order of drop-offs and pick-ups across sites, our Groningen hub and our Amsterdam locations. Over time, more of this becomes yours to own.
Load and secure. Robots, hoisting cages, scaffolding, inventory kits, equipment. You know weight limits, lashing and what it takes to get a 400+ kg system in and out of a vehicle safely.
Run deployment logistics. Systems, kits and operational tools out to a new site before the team arrives, back to the workshop when a build wraps, and everything in between.
Keep the fleet where it's useful. Move idle systems from one site to another that needs them, and bring systems back for repair so that a broken robot swapped today is a wall going up tomorrow.
Own the vehicles. Servicing, inspections, cleaning, fuel, damage reporting and fines. Vehicles are always road-ready.
Log every move. Each transport is recorded in our fleet tooling so deployment managers see when their request is planned and the company always knows where every system and kit is.
Improve the process. Feed what you see on the road back to the inventory team (packing standards), deployment team (equipment ratios per site) and the team building our transport tooling.
Help with inventory in downtime. When there's nothing to move, you work with the inventory team to prepare kits, organise stock and check returned equipment back in.
A valid C licence with Code 95 and a driver card (bestuurderskaart) (required).
Professional driving and load securing experience (required). Trucks, ideally box trucks with tail lift, with real responsibility for what was in the back: lashing, weight distribution, awkward loads. Equipment rental, construction logistics, removals or last-mile delivery are all good backgrounds.
Comfortable with physical work. Loading heavy systems with the right equipment, early starts, all weather, construction site conditions. You don’t need a robotics or construction background, but you should want to know how the systems you’re moving work.
Organised in chaos. You can hold a day with five drop-offs in your head, re-sequence it when a site calls, and still log everything at the end.
Reliable and careful. A damaged robot costs a build day. You check straps twice and say no to an overloaded vehicle.
Clear communication. You deal with deployment managers, site crews and the workshop every day, in person and on Slack. You raise problems early.
Based in the Netherlands. Able to work from Amsterdam and drive to sites nationwide. We can't support relocation or visa sponsorship for this role.
English required; Dutch is a plus.
Forklift certificate (heftruckcertificaat)
VCA safety certificate (we can arrange it)
Basic mechanical sense: you notice when something on a vehicle or a system doesn't look right
Experience planning for more than one driver or vehicle
Comfortable with simple apps and forms for logging work
Joining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry. Here, your work has the potential to impact not just the company but the future of how we build. If you're driven by innovation, eager to tackle complex challenges, and ready to make a tangible difference, we want to hear from you.

From day one, you’ll be working with an experienced founding team, backed by a $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures and Plural.
Monumental is based in the city centre of Amsterdam, in a beautiful facility with an fully equipped workshop and robot testing floor. We build the whole stack in-house - hardware and software, we're explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company - you can't build robots or walls from home, so we're onsite five days a week.
Read more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, and learn about our vision and company. You might enjoy our YouTube Channel, Based in Europe’s film on how we’re fixing Europe’s housing shortage, or this video by Andreas Klinger of what our office looks like.
About the role
Over the last few years, Monumental has gone from developing a product that works and delivering our first pilots to building at scale - a fleet of 150+ robots that have laid bricks for 90+ homes, a school, a community centre, a hotel, and 150+ m of canal walls.
We're taking on more construction projects - \"deployments\" - every month, with more robots, more people, and now in new markets as we scale from the Netherlands into the UK and US.
As Hub Lead, you’ll stand up our first hub outside HQ, in the north of the Netherlands. You’ll start by running our largest deployment to date, then build the team and operations around it as the project pipeline ramps up behind you.
We're hiring versatile operators who want to run a deployment as if it were their own business. Behind every one of these projects is a Deployment Manager who owns it end to end. In practice this is five jobs in one: site foreman, operations manager, account executive, analyst, and project manager. You make the build plan, deploy yourself with your team on site as a subcontractor, manage the contractor relationship, and take responsibility for delivering quality walls, finished on time - in construction, one of the most chaotic industries there is. Your goal will be to run multiple deployments in parallel, overseeing complex and high stakes projects.
One day you're up at dawn, travelling to site, cutting bricks, running the schedule, working with the general contractor and watching your build plan go up brick by brick. The next you'll be at our facility analysing your deployment's P&L and building the systems that improve your margin on the next deployment. You’ll own delivery and translating friction you observe on-site to our R&D team.
This is hard, on-site operations, and some of the most rewarding work you'll find. Robots break, weather turns, the contractor changes the plan, and it's on you to keep the build moving.
You'll have an extraordinary amount of autonomy. It's an excellent fit if you've founded a company before, or if you're looking for an entrepreneurial role where you can make outsized impact.
What you’ll do
Plan the logistics of a deployment: decide how many and which robots and humans to send, coordinate with other subcontractors, and make both a day-to-day operational plan while also thinking about the bigger picture and how your decisions impact our unit economics.
Spend time on the construction site, overseeing, managing, and motivating the team; liaising with the general contractors and other stakeholders; and generally representing the company and selling our story. You’re comfortable speaking with the guys building scaffolds, the CEOs of the biggest general contractors, and our engineers, all on the same day.
Build the operational systems that make each deployment run better than the last - spotting inefficiencies, fixing processes, improving margin
Work with our existing customer base and drive growth of new construction projects and, in the future, adjacent product lines beyond bricklaying.
Own the P&L of your deployment and propose ways to continuously improve our unit economics.
Support hiring and interviewing additional robot and deployment operators.
What we’re looking for
Minimum of 3 years of experience in management as a startup founder, GM, in operations, strategy, business development or a similar area.
Given the local nature of the construction industry, this role requires you to be a native Dutch speaker.
You generally need to be an excellent communicator and be comfortable speaking with a broad range of personas.
You don’t mind getting your hands (literally) dirty to get the job done.
A strong bias-to-action and getting-shit-done mentality with the required tenacity and speed. The emphasis of this role is execution, not analysis.
You’re comfortable in a high-stress environment. Things constantly go wrong at construction sites, the stakes are high, and we’re introducing new technology with novel failure modes.
Raw intellectual horsepower and eagerness to learn. We expect this role to have a steep learning curve whatever your background, and this role might in practice feel like a completely new job every 3-6 months. You’ll learn a lot about construction, robotics, and being part of a high-growth, hard-tech company.
Experience and ability to manage, lead, and motivate a (small) team.
Strong operational and analytical skills. You can build a spreadsheet with a clear operational plan, or present a P&L and model various scenarios and drivers. You’re a strong project manager.

We build the whole stack in-house - hardware and software, we're explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company - you can't build robots or walls from home, so we're onsite five days a week.\n\n \n\nRead more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, and learn about our vision https://www.monumental.co/our-vision/ and company https://www.monumental.co/about/. You might enjoy our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@buildmonumental, Based in Europe’s film on how we’re fixing Europe’s housing shortage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Q2F0Fcx4A, or this video by Andreas Klinger of what our office looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOo8n19XEns.\n\n\nAbout the role\n\nOver the last few years, Monumental has gone from developing a product that works and delivering our first pilots to building at scale - a fleet of 150+ robots that have laid bricks for 90+ homes, a school, a community centre, a hotel, and 150+ m of canal walls.\n\n\n\nWe're taking on more construction projects - \"deployments\" - every month, with more robots, more people, and now in new markets as we scale from the Netherlands into the UK and US.\n\n\n\nAs Hub Lead, you’ll stand up our first hub outside HQ, in the north of the Netherlands. You’ll start by running our largest deployment to date, then build the team and operations around it as the project pipeline ramps up behind you.\n\n\n\nWe're hiring versatile operators who want to run a deployment as if it were their own business. Behind every one of these projects is a Deployment Manager who owns it end to end. In practice this is five jobs in one: site foreman, operations manager, account executive, analyst, and project manager. You make the build plan, deploy yourself with your team on site as a subcontractor, manage the contractor relationship, and take responsibility for delivering quality walls, finished on time - in construction, one of the most chaotic industries there is. Your goal will be to run multiple deployments in parallel, overseeing complex and high stakes projects.\n\n\n\nOne day you're up at dawn, travelling to site, cutting bricks, running the schedule, working with the general contractor and watching your build plan go up brick by brick. The next you'll be at our facility analysing your deployment's P&L and building the systems that improve your margin on the next deployment. You’ll own delivery and translating friction you observe on-site to our R&D team.\n\n\n\nThis is hard, on-site operations, and some of the most rewarding work you'll find. Robots break, weather turns, the contractor changes the plan, and it's on you to keep the build moving.\nYou'll have an extraordinary amount of autonomy. It's an excellent fit if you've founded a company before, or if you're looking for an entrepreneurial role where you can make outsized impact.\n\n\n\nWhat you’ll do\n\n - Plan the logistics of a deployment: decide how many and which robots and humans to send, coordinate with other subcontractors, and make both a day-to-day operational plan while also thinking about the bigger picture and how your decisions impact our unit economics.\n\n - Spend time on the construction site, overseeing, managing, and motivating the team; liaising with the general contractors and other stakeholders; and generally representing the company and selling our story. You’re comfortable speaking with the guys building scaffolds, the CEOs of the biggest general contractors, and our engineers, all on the same day.\n\n - Build the operational systems that make each deployment run better than the last - spotting inefficiencies, fixing processes, improving margin\n\n - Work with our existing customer base and drive growth of new construction projects and, in the future, adjacent product lines beyond bricklaying.\n\n - Own the P&L of your deployment and propose ways to continuously improve our unit economics.\n\n - Support hiring and interviewing additional robot and deployment operators.\n\n\n\nWhat we’re looking for\n\n - Minimum of 3 years of experience in management as a startup founder, GM, in operations, strategy, business development or a similar area.\n\n - Given the local nature of the construction industry, this role requires you to be a native Dutch speaker.\n\n - You generally need to be an excellent communicator and be comfortable speaking with a broad range of personas.\n\n - You don’t mind getting your hands (literally) dirty to get the job done.\n\n - A strong bias-to-action and getting-shit-done mentality with the required tenacity and speed. The emphasis of this role is execution, not analysis.\n\n - You’re comfortable in a high-stress environment. Things constantly go wrong at construction sites, the stakes are high, and we’re introducing new technology with novel failure modes.\n\n - Raw intellectual horsepower and eagerness to learn. We expect this role to have a steep learning curve whatever your background, and this role might in practice feel like a completely new job every 3-6 months. You’ll learn a lot about construction, robotics, and being part of a high-growth, hard-tech company.\n\n - Experience and ability to manage, lead, and motivate a (small) team.\n\n - Strong operational and analytical skills. You can build a spreadsheet with a clear operational plan, or present a P&L and model various scenarios and drivers. You’re a strong project manager.\n\n\n\nWhy Monumental?\n\nJoining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry. Here, your work has the potential to impact not just the company but the future of how we build. If you're driven by innovation, eager to tackle complex challenges, and ready to make a tangible difference, we want to hear from you.\n\n \n\nFor open applications (where you don’t see an exact role match), please reach out to us at: iwanttojoin@monumental.co - share with us the most interesting or challenging project you’ve worked on, why you want to join and your CV or portfolio.\n\n \n\nUnfortunately we do not currently support internships.\n\n \n\nIf you don’t meet all the qualifications here but are excited about Monumental and feel you’d still be able to help us solve difficult problems, do get in touch.

About the role
We are looking for an electronics technician to join our team. You will support our mechatronics engineers and work closely with our hardware and software engineering teams. In this role, you'll play a crucial part in developing and manufacturing our construction robots. Your work will directly contribute to bringing our robots to life. Join our mission to bring automation to the construction industry to create affordable, beautiful, high-quality housing for everyone.
You will own electronics assemblies and build them at scale, occasionally building prototypes of our construction robot hardware, including our autonomous ground vehicles, construction cranes, supply systems, end effectors . You will also be responsible for maintenance, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis of failure modes in our existing fleet of robots.
On a non-technical level, we are looking for someone who loves nothing more than working in a highly collaborative team to solve complex problems and bring novel inventions to the world. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, are excited to continuously learn new skills, and love challenging conventional ideas. After doing an assembly, you actively ask yourself how you could do it ten times faster if you had to do it over again.
We are unable to support relocation or sponsorship for this role. Applicants must be based in the Netherlands, eligible to work and able to commute onsite to Amsterdam to be considered.
What you’ll do
Owning production assembly batches for our fleet of robots, with consistent quality and speed.
Collaborating closely with our hardware and software engineering teams to refine designs based on real-world testing and feedback.
Implementing and improving procedures for electronic assembly and testing, ensuring reliability and efficiency in our prototypes and production models.
Troubleshooting of electronic components and systems for our autonomous construction robots, related accessories, and supporting systems.
Managing inventory for electronic components and tools, suggesting improvements for our robot production to prevent project delays.
Assisting in the field tests of our robotic systems, providing technical support and insights to enhance performance.
Maintaining our current fleet of robots, performing occasional health checks on them and ensuring that they are always in great state and ready to be used on site.
What we’re looking for
You have a solid understanding of electronics fundamentals, with hands-on experience in hardware assembly and debugging across tasks such as soldering, cabling/wiring/crimping. Being able to read schematics is great, however our systems are mostly cabling and wiring at a system level rather than detailed PCB schematics, so we need someone who's comfortable adapting without one.
You're adept at identifying issues and coming up with efficient solutions. Your background allows you to intuitively understand how electronic components could or do fit into larger systems.
Comfortable using hand tools for mechanical assembly, not just electronics. Many of our builds involve small mechanical fixtures and hardware alongside the wiring.
In our fast-paced startup environment, priorities can shift quickly. You're comfortable with context-switching and can handle multiple tasks efficiently.
Your excellent organisational and communication skills mean you can articulate complex ideas clearly and work collaboratively with engineers to refine designs.
A BSc, HBO, MBO, diploma or equivalent in a relevant field, with a minimum of 2 years of comparable work experience. An engineering or technical degree would be a bonus.
