Company

Nearly 10% of all jobs in Australia are in the construction industry. Currently, there are more than 1.1 million construction staff and by May 2023 this number is set to increase another 10%. The industry, however, is not safe. Over five times more construction workers die than on site compared to Australian Defence Force casualties in Afghanistan, Iraq and East Timor. Sightdata is a Canberra-based start-up using our passion and knowledge in construction and machine learning to do.

There are four internship projects on offer from Sightdata.

Project 4:   Product Manager

This role is to develop the Sightdata product management strategy. This PM internship is a key role in the production phase of our product. If you are successful in this application, you can expect to work on user acquisition and product development strategy. Sightdata is working to be the leading source of visual insights on construction sites initially focused on safety solutions such as PPE compliance, exclusion zones, vehicle monitoring and so on. However, visual insights can also be used in a host of other applications such as delivery monitoring, material and equipment tracking onsite, progress monitoring, remote inspections, and more.     

From day 1 you will work to understand the market for construction technology and conduct assessments to produce, competitive intelligence, product roadmaps, stakeholder management, user scenarios and pricing strategy.   

Start-ups are high growth companies. This role puts you at the driving seat for defining the growth trajectory for Sightdata and will set you up to be a successful product manager – a role that is keenly sought after at many tech start-ups.
