Job DescriptionDescription: Reports To: COO Department: Concrete 3D Printing / Field Production Location: Colorado (site-based; travel between active build and R&D sites as needed) Status: Exempt, Full-Time Compensation: $80,000–$90,000 annual based salary, depending on experience and qualifications. Potential Start Date: TBD About VeroTouch VeroTouch exists to change how homes are built. We are a venture-backed construction technology company reimagining residential construction by combining advanced manufacturing, robotics, and traditional building expertise. At a time when housing affordability, labor shortages, and inefficiency continue to plague our industry, VeroTouch is focused on building better, faster, and smarter. Our work sits at the intersection of construction and technology. We design and operate systems that integrate 3D printing, advanced materials, and lean production principles into real-world job sites. This is not a theoretical exercise. We are actively building homes, learning in real time, and turning those experiences into repeatable and scalable operating models. VeroTouch is early-stage, hands-on, and execution-driven. The people who thrive here are builders in every sense of the word. They take ownership, stay calm under pressure, and care deeply about outcomes. If you are excited by challenges, energized by responsibility, and motivated by the opportunity to help define the future of an industry that rarely changes, you will feel at home here.
