Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.\nSpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.\nCONSTRUCTION SCHEDULER\nDevelop, maintain, and communicate construction schedules that the field, subcontractors, and leadership can actually use. You will build CPM baselines, update them from real progress, flag risk early, and explain schedule impact of changes, delays, and recovery plans. This is not a data-entry role. You need enough means-and-methods knowledge to challenge a sequence that will not work in the field.\nSuperintendents run the work; project managers own cost and contracts; the scheduler is the person who can tell you what is actually driving the end date, what slips if a trade is late, and whether a recovery plan is real.\nThe team goes where the next site is - a pad, a factory, a supercluster, whatever has to exist before the rest of the company can move. Right now that is Memphis, TN / Southaven, MS. Then it is the next one. Per diem comes with the assignment.\nRESPONSIBILITIES:\nBuild baseline CPM schedules from drawings, specs, estimates, bid packages, and construction sequences (WBS, activity coding, logic, calendars, and constraints used sparingly and correctly)\nMaintain the live schedule: collect progress from superintendents, project managers, and trades; update percent complete, remaining duration, and logic; publish a clean current-period update on a set cadence (typically weekly look-aheads and monthly official updates)\nOwn the critical path. Identify near-critical work, float erosion, and out-of-sequence progress. Tell the team why the end date moved, not just that it did\nProduce three-week (or similar) look-aheads that match the master schedule and what the field can actually crew\nAnalyze schedule impact of RFIs, change orders, design late-outs, access constraints, long-lead procurement, weather, and labor shortages. Prepare time-impact analyses (TIA) and what-if, recovery, and acceleration scenarios\nCoordinate with project managers, superintendents, estimators, procurement, design, owners/CMs, and subcontractors so the schedule reflects committed dates, not wishful ones\nResource-load and, where required, cost-load the schedule. Flag crew stacking, craft shortages, and unrealistic production rates\nPrepare narratives, variance reports, S-curves, histograms, and executive summaries for internal reviews and owner/CM submittals\nSupport claims and delay documentation with contemporaneous records (as-planned vs. as-built, fragnets, delay categorization) when needed\nEnforce schedule standards: naming, coding, update process, backup, and version control so the file remains auditable\nFacilitate or support pull-planning / Last Planner sessions and convert those commitments into logic in the CPM model\nVisit the site regularly. A scheduler who never walks the job will be wrong\nRelocate with the mobile team as assignments change, starting in Memphis, TN / Southaven, MS\nBASIC QUALIFICATIONS:\n4+ years of construction scheduling on active projects (GC, CM, owner’s project controls, or specialty contractor)\n4+ years of experience using Smartsheet, MS Project, or other project management tool\n4+ years of experience with owner/CM specification-driven schedules (e.g., DCMA 14-point, USACE, or similar quality metrics)\nPREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:\nComfortability with multiple calendars, relationship types, filters, layouts, global vs. project data, and schedule quality checks (open ends, negative float, SS/FF overuse, constraints)\nBachelor’s in construction management, civil engineering, or a related field; OR equivalent field experience\nPSP (AACE), PMI-SP, PMP, CCM, or similar credential\nExperience with owner/CM specification-driven schedules (e.g., DCMA 14-point, USACE, or similar quality metrics)\nForensic delay analysis, time-impact analysis, and claims support\nCost/resource loading, earned value, and integration with cost systems\nLast Planner / pull planning; BIM 4D (Navisworks, Synchro) is a plus\nAdditional tools as applicable: Power BI, Smartsheet, Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud\nADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:\nWilling to work extended hours as needed, including the current 6-day / 12-hour construction cadence\nThis role is part of the mobile construction team and you will be expected to travel to the assigned work project. Current work assignment is based in Memphis, TN / Southaven, MS. Future assignments will require relocation to other U.S. construction sites. Per diem is provided while on assignment\nMust be comfortable working in a fully onsite environment\nMust be willing to work any shift, extended hours and/or holidays during assigned work assignment. This includes rotating shifts, nights and/or weekends. If you are assigned night shift, you will receive a shift differential for hours worked during off nominal hours\nMust be willing to work in industrial environments with exposure to noise, heavy equipment, excavations, and energized electrical systems. Must be able to lift 25 lbs+ unassisted and perform physically demanding tasks outdoors/indoors, tight conditions and/or at heights\nSpaceXSI is an equal opportunity employer.
