Workshop

Master Stone Sculptor

Stamford, UKFull-Time€50k–€85k

Gondor Industries is building the first automated stone factory. We shape marble, limestone, and travertine with robots we program ourselves, then finish each piece by hand in our Stamford workshop.

Every material used in modern construction has been industrialised except one: ornamental stone, still carved by hand the way it was in the Renaissance. We're fixing that.


Master Stone Sculptor

Machines get us 80% of the way. The last 20% — the undercuts, the eye of a figure, the weathered edges that make a piece feel alive — is still hand work. We are looking for a sculptor who can take what the robots leave and finish it to museum quality.

This is a senior, hands-on role. You will also be teaching the software and robotics teams what the craft actually demands, so the machines can eventually do more of it themselves.

What you'll do

  • Finish busts, architectural elements, and sculptures to commissioned quality
  • Define and maintain our quality standards across every piece that leaves the workshop
  • Collaborate daily with the robotics team to close the gap between machine work and hand work
  • Train and mentor the rest of the workshop team

What we're looking for

  • At least ten years of classical stone carving experience (marble, limestone, travertine)
  • A portfolio of completed pieces you are proud of
  • Patience to work with a team of engineers who are asking questions you may find obvious
  • Calm in the workshop and generous with knowledge

What we offer

  • A workshop stocked with quality tools, quality stone, and quality people
  • Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses tied to commissioned projects
  • A long horizon — we are building a multi-decade company
