Advanced Autonomy for the Built World.
About the role
We are seeking an Operational Safety & EHS Lead to own the programs that keep Bedrock's people, our partners' crews, and the public safe wherever our machines work. Over the next twelve months, we will rapidly scale our machine count, partners, and sites while also adding net-new machine types and a next-generation platform — each new product line and machine brings new operational, retrofit and commissioning, and partner site considerations. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years in EHS, operational safety, or safety program management, including 3+ years in heavy equipment, construction, heavy civil, mining, or industrial robotics / automation environments
- Working knowledge of OSHA 29 CFR 1926 and 1910, with experience managing compliance across multiple sites and states
- Experience building safety programs from the ground up in a fast-growing organization and scaling them across distributed field teams
- Track record leading incident investigations and root cause analysis, and driving corrective actions to closure with cross-functional partners
- Ability to influence engineers, operators, and senior leaders, comfortable making and defending stop-work and go / no-go calls
More about this role
At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and onto real job sites. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. We retrofit the heavy equipment contractors already own, starting with excavators, so experienced crews can safely take on more projects and deliver more of the critical infrastructure our society needs.
In August 2026, Bedrock-equipped excavators began doing fully autonomous, paid work on live commercial job sites. We've more than doubled our customer base since 2025, and our machines now work with contractors across the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic
In October 2026, we raised a $600M Series C co-led by CapitalG and Emergence Capital, bringing our total funding to nearly $1B. We're using it to put more autonomous machines to work, build the field and operations teams behind every deployment, and expand into new machine types and job-site tasks.
This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems,...
