Senior Product Designer

Propeller is on a mission to take the guesswork out of moving dirt - reducing wasted fuel, time, and money. We do this through the power of maps.

Our customers use Propeller's integrated hardware and software products to capture accurate 3D versions of their worksites. With over 50,000 worksites worldwide using Propeller's smart survey technology, we empower project teams to map, measure, and manage site activity.

Propeller empowers everyone to approach, own, and solve problems creatively. We're data nerds who care about impact, honesty, and each other. We take pride in being a great place to work. We are proud to be recipients of BI Group's Excellence in Customer Experience award and Inspiring Workplaces of Australasia, being recognized as a Fast Company and BuiltIn Best Place to Work.

As the Senior Product Designer for our mobile app, your mission is to solve one of the biggest challenges in construction: the disconnect between the office and the field.

You will be responsible for charting the course for our mobile app, driving the design and strategy to make it an indispensable tool as quickly as possible. Propeller is already active on over 25k worksites globally each month, and your challenge is to get our platform into the hands of the hundreds of thousands of operators, surveyors, and foremen on those sites. You'll be designing the tools that connect everyone, turning a complex worksite into a single, collaborative map.

This is a rare opportunity to have a massive impact, shaping a product that will become an essential daily tool for a huge, underserved user base across the globe.
