About The Company
GROPYUS is a technology-based construction company focused on building multi-story residential buildings. Thanks to its
prefabricated building system with various design options, industrial offsite construction, and fully digitalized processes, the
company manufactures aspirational, sustainable, and affordable homes using timber construction methods. GROPYUS is using scalable
construction and manufacturing solutions to tap into a future market, boost Europe's strength in innovation, while also playing a
substantial role in improving sustainability.
Join GROPYUS as a Product Designer and step into the future of digital construction. You’ll design solutions that connect advanced
manufacturing with construction execution, making complex processes, from the factory floor to the building site, intuitive,
human-centered, and impactful.
We’re seeking a designer who is curious, hands-on, and eager to grow. Someone who thrives at the intersection of digital tools,
construction methods, and human workflows, and who wants to turn data, insights, and prototypes into solutions tested directly in
the field.
In this role, you’ll expand your responsibility and ownership, working closely with expert engineers and a product manager who
advocates for the user. You’ll observe operations, gather feedback, and translate insights into design solutions that support both
today’s projects and tomorrow’s vision of autonomous construction.
What we value most: a mindset of curiosity and collaboration. Someone who takes initiative, asks sharp questions, and helps align
cross-functional teams around clear, evidence-based design.
