# Deployment Manager (Hub Lead) at Monumental

- **Company:** Monumental
- **Location:** Groningen, Netherlands
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Posted:** 2026-08-21
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-08

## Job description

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.

## 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.

## About Monumental

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Automating on-site construction using a vertically integrated suite of autonomous robots controlled by software and machine vision.
- **Entity Type**: Private ($25M total funding)
- **Headquarters**: Amsterdam, Netherlands (Plantage area, near Artis zoo)
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Salar and Sebas (full names not publicly disclosed)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Construction robotics / autonomous construction
- **Target customers**: B2B – construction companies (currently deploying on real sites in the Netherlands)
- **Mission**: To make construction primarily software-defined and autonomous, working toward a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings can be built within a single day with minimal labor.

## Products & Services
- **Autonomous electric construction robots**: A suite of robots that perform on-site masonry (building facades, canal retaining walls, etc.). The system is vertically integrated – Monumental designs its own hardware, control software, and machine vision pipeline. Robots are treated as a distributed computing system, using Intel NUCs, Nvidia GPUs, RP2040s, and Power over Ethernet instead of traditional industrial PLCs or CAN bus.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – **$25M** (date not specified, but recent)
- **Notable Investors**: Plural, Hummingbird, Northzone, Foundamental, NP-Hard
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Robots are already deployed on real construction sites in the Netherlands for paying customers.
  - Team size ~70 people (20 R&D, 30 deployment, 10 workshop, 10 operations/BD/founders). Split indicates scaling deployment operations.
  - Expanding into the UK market (posting for a Founding Robot Operator, UK).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vertical integration**: Full ownership of the stack from microcontroller code to robot assembly and control, enabling rapid, weekly iterations on both hardware and software.
- **Modern tech stack**: Control software in Rust, simulation and digital twin in TypeScript with Rust compiled to WebAssembly, machine learning in Python. This contrasts with the industry’s typical PLC/CAN‑bus approach.
- **Rapid prototyping culture**: Hardware is prototyped in-house (CNC, 3D printing, turning), allowing fast derisking and iteration.
- **Product‑outcome focus**: The team measures success in finished walls and building components, not just robot uptime.

## Strategic Focus
- **Incremental, achievable goals** in a traditionally change-resistant industry: start with small wins (facades, retaining walls) and scale.
- **Expand geographic footprint** (UK already targeted) and increase the number of robot operators and deployment teams.
- **Continue to iterate on hardware/software weekly** while maintaining a pragmatic, outcome‑oriented engineering culture.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Office‑first, 5 days a week in the Amsterdam city‑center office (hybrid/remote not supported). The environment is fast‑paced, high‑ambiguity, and highly collaborative.
- **Engineering**: Work on a vertically integrated stack – Rust, TypeScript, WebAssembly, Python, embedded C, hardware design – with weekly shipping cycles. Engineers have outsized impact, owning projects end‑to‑end.
- **Team**: ~70 people from diverse backgrounds (Palantir, Tesla, Qualcomm, Dyson, Meta, Shopify). Many are repeat founders; previous robotics experience is not required – learning fast is valued.
- **Perks**: Competitive salary + generous equity; beautiful office opposite Artis zoo with in‑house workshop and robot testing facility; visa sponsorship and relocation assistance for highly skilled migrants.
- **Impact**: Build physical products that affect the built environment, with the mission of making affordable, beautiful housing a reality.
