About Ironsite

  • 50,000+ hours of construction footage captured across 7 states

What You'Ll Do

  • Travel to jobsites across the country to deploy, configure, and support cases of Ironsite devices
  • Run pre-deployment site walks: assess site conditions, safety requirements, crew size and composition, and logistics, then translate those findings into a workable deployment plan
  • Stand up on-site infrastructure — connectivity, charging and docking locations, device storage and security — and solve the physical problems that come with real construction sites
  • Lead deployment readiness reviews with internal stakeholders and drive open items to closure before Day 1
  • Onboard craft workers to the hardware: fit devices, explain what we do and don't capture, and answer honest questions honestly
  • Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for superintendents, project engineers, and self-perform leads
  • Read the room on a jobsite. Adoption depends on the crew believing this helps them, and that's earned in person
  • Partner with the Ground Truth team to make sure our activity taxonomy reflects what's actually happening on site — the trades, sequences, and edge cases that generic categories miss
  • Map capture back to the contractor's own work breakdown structure and labor codes so findings connect to cost and schedule, not just video
  • Feed structured observations back to Hardware, Engineering, and AI. You'll be the reason a mount gets redesigned or a model gets retrained
  • Manage device inventory, charging cadence, firmware, and pack-out across concurrent deployments
  • Diagnose and resolve hardware and connectivity issues in the field, often without a second set of hands
  • Document what you learn so the next deployment goes faster than the last

What We'Re Looking For

  • 1–5 years of construction field experience — as a foreman, superintendent, project engineer, field engineer, craft worker, or similar
  • Broad exposure across general trades. You can walk a site and understand what's in front of you, whether it's framing, concrete, MEP, or finishes
  • Wide availability to travel. This role requires frequent, sometimes short-notice travel to jobsites nationwide, including multi-day and multi-week deployments
  • Comfort working in active construction environments — outdoors, in varied weather, at height, and in compliance with site-specific safety requirements
  • Strong communication across audiences. You can brief a GC's leadership in the morning and troubleshoot with a crew at lunch
  • High autonomy and sound judgment. You'll frequently be the only Ironsite person on site, making calls in real time
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel domestically without restriction
  • Bilingual (English / Spanish). A large share of the crews we work with are Spanish-speaking, and being able to onboard someone in their first language materially changes adoption
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field
  • Familiarity with scheduling, WBS/cost-code structures, or labor productivity analysis
  • OSHA 10 / OSHA 30, or willingness to obtain
  • Experience with hardware deployment, field IT, or networking (Starlink, cellular, mesh)
  • Comfort with data tools — spreadsheets, SQL, or light scripting — to make sense of your own deployments

What Success Looks Like

  • First 30 days: You've shadowed deployments, know the hardware cold, and can run a site walk on your own
  • First 90 days: You've independently owned a deployment from site walk through steady-state capture, with a contractor who wants you back
  • First 6 months: You're the internal authority on a set of accounts, and your field observations have visibly changed the product

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary: $75,000 – $125,000 per year , commensurate with experience
  • Travel fully covered, with per diem
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Company hardware and field gear
