We are seeking a Site Installations Lead to serve as a field leader within our Site Installations organization. This role is responsible for owning the safe, high-quality, on-schedule delivery of Symbotic’s automation installation scope on live customer sites, from mobilization through commissioning readiness.

Drive safe, high-quality, on-schedule installation across electricians, controls technicians, commissioning resources, and third-party contractors

Serve as the field authority for Symbotic’s automation installation scope on site
Direct and influence multi-vendor, multi-discipline teams without formal reporting lines
Make real-time decisions when conditions change, issues arise, or schedules are at risk
Identify, escalate, and resolve installation-driven risks impacting schedule, quality, and cost
Own the cost and schedule impact of field changes, rework, and resource tradeoffs within the automation scope
Drive contractor performance, productivity, and accountability
Validate system installation through hands-on field verification, checklists, and performance testing
Ensure each adapter cell and automation area is commissioning-ready with defects resolved and documentation complete
Capture lessons learned and apply them to future sites
Partner closely with the Site Installation Manager, Project Management, Engineering, Safety, and Commissioning to ensure overall site success
Lead automation-specific kickoff meetings, progress reviews, and recovery plans
Requirements:
