Job description

Carpentry apprenticeship training or journeyperson certification.

Experience with prefabricated panels, off-site construction, or manufacturing.

Exposure to automated equipment, robotics, CNC machinery, or digital fabrication.

Personal projects or practical experience that demonstrate an interest in technology, making, or mechanical problem-solving.

Relevant safety training, such as fall protection or first aid.

The Career Opportunity

Have hands-on framing experience and a strong interest in technology? This is an opportunity to get involved early in a scaling robotics startup, do practical work and help shape how construction components are made.

At RoBIM, you’ll work alongside robotics and software developers, bringing your carpentry skills to real fabrication challenges. You’ll build wall panels and assemblies, support trials, check results, and help the team understand what works, what needs to change, and why. While your focus will be on fabrication, your observations on the floor will help inform the technology we develop.

You’ll see the connection between an idea, a test, and a finished component—and have a hand in improving all three.

Framing experience and technological savviness is required. Previous robotics experience an asset.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with digital tools, asks thoughtful questions, takes initiative, and is motivated to learn.

Reporting to the Vice President – Robotics, the Framing Carpenter will:

Complete framing and carpentry production work to meet customer delivery schedules.

Measure, mark, cut, and assemble lumber and engineered wood products.

Build floor, wall, and roof assemblies, including openings, headers, blocking, and backing.

Install sheathing, subflooring, connectors, and fasteners according to project specifications.

Check dimensions, squareness, alignment, and fastening to ensure components meet requirements.

Read and interpret digital construction drawings, blueprints, framing plans, and shop drawings.

Support trial builds and prototypes, identify problems, and provide clear, practical feedback.

Work with our robotics and software teams to test and improve fabrication methods, assembly sequences, and finished quality.

Use digital tools to review information and communicate fabrication results and issues.

Safely operate carpentry tools and learn to work with robotic equipment under established procedures.

Maintain an organized workspace and support day-to-day fabrication, testing, and facility operations.
