Robotics & AI
for stone craft.

At Gondor Industries we're reviving stone craft with robotics and AI. Our mission is to become an enabling infrastructure for beautiful buildings, towns and cities. We are hiring the team that will define what beautiful buildings look like for the next five hundred years.

The mission

Every material used in construction has been industrialised — except stone.
Gondor is fixing that.

Steel, glass, concrete, timber — every structural material is made in automated factories. Ornamental stone is still carved by hand the way it was in the Renaissance.

We build hardware and software to streamline stone processing. The goal is to simplify how stone moves from the quarry to the assembly on the building or at a gallery.

The mission is in the name. Gondor translates as Stone Land.

How we work

Cultural values.

◉

Integrity

Hold to your convictions and act on them — even when the pressure says otherwise.

▲

Pace

It had to be done yesterday. Treat urgency as a feature, not a vice.

Ownership

Own your actions. Honour your words. The work is yours end-to-end.

✦

Deep thought

Question the requirements. Go to the root of the problem. Always see for yourself.

Our home

Stamford.
And London.

Our factory sits inside the works of The Stonemasonry Company, the leading stonemasons in the UK, in Stamford — a small stone-built town in Lincolnshire with a thousand-year masonry tradition. It is where we keep the robots, the marble, and the people who finish each piece by hand.

The software and commercial teams work out of our London office, a two-hour train from the workshop. We visit often; the stone stays put.

Questions

The short answers.

  • Our factory is in Stamford, UK — a small stone-built town in Lincolnshire with a long masonry tradition. We also have an office in London for the software and commercial teams.

  • Yes, for workshop and on-site robotics roles. We help with paperwork, housing search, and the first month.

  • No — every role is on-site in Stamford or London. Proximity to the stone, the robots, and the team is part of the work.

  • A call with a founder, a paid work trial sized to your life (usually a week), a workshop visit if geography allows, and a decision within ten days of the trial.

  • Write to join@gondorindustries.com. If you would have been a good hire at any of the seed companies we admire, we would like to hear from you.
