About
Amidon Heavy Industries is rebuilding the industrial backbone of the ocean. We develop autonomous surface vessels and subsea systems that replace ship-based workflows and transform how energy, telecom, and infrastructure are built and maintained. Our technology makes offshore work faster, safer, and radically more efficient.
The Role
We are hiring an Operations Associate to work directly with the CEO on building the company from the inside out. This is an unstructured role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership without waiting for direction, and delivers results fast. You will handle execution across operations, logistics, recruiting, finance, and special projects.
You will not be managing a process. You will be creating it. This role is central to scaling Amidon from prototype to production and will expose you to every part of the business.
Qualifications
Deep curiosity and intellectual range. You want to learn how the whole machine works.
2 to 5 years of experience in a demanding environment such as banking, consulting, venture, engineering, or startups. We don’t care where you come from, just that you’re a killer.
Responsibilities
Execute high-priority projects across operations, logistics, recruiting, finance, and product
Build and refine internal systems for supply chain, HR, finance, and company operations
Coordinate cross-functional workstreams and ensure milestones are met
Handle critical details such as vendor management, purchasing, compliance, and documentation
Support strategic initiatives including fundraising, partnerships, and field operations
Identify problems early and close gaps before they become issues
Work directly with leadership to establish the company’s operating rhythm
The Right Person
You are not looking for a narrow career track. You want to build something real. You like hard problems, fast environments, and direct responsibility. You take pride in high standards and you close loops without being asked. You see what needs to get done and you do it.
