With over 100 systems deployed across four continents and customers spanning sectors such as shipbuilding, oil and gas, nuclear, and heavy equipment, Novarc’s automation platform is reshaping how industrial fabrication work gets done.

As Novarc continues to scale its technology and expand into new markets, the company is seeking to appoint a new Board Director who brings meaningful experience in industrial automation, ideally within welding, and the strategic insight required to support a high-growth, innovation-led business.

This individual will contribute to key decisions around commercialization, global expansion and governance maturity, and will play a role in shaping the evolution of Novarc’s business model as it continues to advance its automation and AI capabilities. A background in executive leadership, scaling technology businesses and navigating complex industrial environments will be essential. The ability to step into the Board Chair role over time is preferred.

This is a significant opportunity to join the Board of a growing technology company that is helping solve complex problems in some of the world’s most demanding industrial sectors. Board meetings are held quarterly, with two taking place in person per year, and ad hoc meetings as required.
