ABOUT STANDARD BOTS Standard Bots builds industrial robotic arms that make automation accessible to every manufacturer. We’re growing fast — scaling from a lean startup into a high-volume production operation with tens of thousands of robots produced annually. Our Glen Cove facility is the operational heart of that ambition, and we’re building it to last. ABOUT THE ROLE This role is on-site at our manufacturing facility in Glen Cove, NY. We’re hiring a Facilities & Capital Projects Manager to lead the expansion of our primary manufacturing campus — from a multi-thousand sq ft operation today to 200,000+ sq ft supporting 200+ employees across production, engineering, and corporate functions. Your headline mission is the build: planning, contracting, and delivering a continuous pipeline of expansions, fit-outs, and infrastructure upgrades as we bring advanced manufacturing processes in-house — including CNC machining, surface finishing and painting, and potentially molten metal casting. You’ll act as the owner’s representative on every project: directing architects, engineers, and general contractors on our behalf. You’ll also lead our facilities function as it grows. You’ll inherit an existing facilities associate who runs day-to-day operations, and you’ll coach and develop them while building the broader team. This is a player-coach role: run a contractor meeting in the morning, present a capital roadmap to the executive team in the afternoon.
