BUILDSHIFT
Because robots need real people.
Our Story
BuildShift is a new workforce initiative launched by Mountjoy Enterprises, a beverage co-packer in Petaluma, CA, where high labor costs and the urgency of automation have collided. In response, we created a unique model: invite displaced tech professionals and aspiring engineers to join us on the production floor—not just to work, but to innovate.
We’re pioneering a powerful new breed of engineer. A software professional who can also repair, design and build automated devices to help businesses thrive.
The BS Proposal
After meeting you and having you show us around your business, if we can see opportunities for real and immediate savings, we will offer a custom automated device that will demonstrably generate enough savings to pay for itself in 6-months. Guaranteed.
We’re helping a generation of tech workers who did everything right—but still got the axe—find a second act building America’s advanced manufacturing backbone.
