Operators are expensive, hard to retain, and working in environments that are increasingly unsafe. The shortage is structural. The window to solve it is now.\nOur answer is a machine-agnostic intelligence platform that lets any machine, on any site, perceive, decide, and act autonomously. One platform. Any machine. No fleet replacement.\nAlready live across multiple sites and customers in Europe - spanning logistics and warehousing, industrial manufacturing, and large-scale chemical production - with a US expansion underway.\nThe vision: one operator managing hundreds of machines simultaneously. Productive machine-hour cost dropping by 80x, and unlocks the next productivity revolution in physical work.\nThe mission is to make productivity limitless. Come and help us build it.\nThe role\nYou know how to operate heavy equipment, whether that's forklifts, wheel loaders or excavators. We'll teach you to operate and supervise machines remotely.\nHive turns industrial vehicles and heavy equipment into remotely operated and supervised-autonomous machines. As an operator, you'll operate and supervise different types of industrial machines, including forklifts, wheel loaders, dumpers and excavators, from a Hive station at our operations. You'll step in when a machine needs a human, and operate manually in the cab during testing and deployment where required.\nYour operating experience matters more than any degree. You know what safe, efficient machine operation looks like, and your feedback goes straight to the engineers building the system.\nWhat a shift looks like\nStart with pre-operation checks on the machine, cameras and station, plus a briefing on any software changes.\n\nRemotely operate forklifts, wheel loaders and other industrial machines, and supervise autonomous operations, taking control when human intervention is required.\n\nOperate manually in the cab during testing, commissioning and deployment where required and appropriately qualified.\n\nFollow site safety rules and Hive's operating procedures, and stop the machine when in doubt.\n\nLog issues and write clear feedback for the engineering and operations teams.\n\nWork alongside the customer's site crew and other operators to ensure safe, reliable and productive operations.\n\nTrain and qualify on additional machine types as Hive expands its applications.\n\nWhat you bring\n3+ years of professional experience operating heavy equipment or industrial vehicles, particularly forklifts, wheel loaders, excavators or similar machinery.\n\nHands-on operating experience with more than one type of machine.\n\nA strong safety record and good judgement under pressure.\n\nComfortable with computers and screens, and keen to learn new software.\n\nStrong situational awareness and the ability to remain focused during remote and supervised autonomous operations.\n\nAble to work shifts, [including nights and weekends], and travel to customer sites when needed.\n\nA valid driver's licence and ability to pass a background check and drug screen [subject to applicable law and company policy].\n\nAuthorised to work in the US.\n\nBonus points\nExperience in quarries, aggregates, mining, construction, ports, recycling or warehousing and logistics operations.\n\nTraining or supervising other operators.\n\nSafety training such as OSHA 10 or 30.\n\nExperience with remote-controlled machinery, automated equipment or autonomous industrial systems.\n\nWhat we offer\nFull paid training on Hive's systems.\n\nCompetitive salary.\n\nA chance to be among the first industrial operators in the US working with Physical AI, operating and supervising autonomous machines across industries and helping shape the future of industrial operations.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3828,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
