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 SUPERINTENDENT, POWER GENERATION\nYou will oversee crews building the infrastructure for SpaceXSI's on-site power generation plant in the Memphis region - including gas turbine packages and auxiliaries, fuel gas piping, process and BOP piping, pumps, heat exchangers, compressed/instrument air, water and cooling systems, plant HVAC, and fire protection. If you thrive on hands-on leadership, complex industrial mechanical construction, and delivering generation that stays online, join us to help build the power plant that supports SpaceXSI's high-density AI supercomputing facilities.\nRESPONSIBILITIES:\nOversee and coordinate mechanical installations including gas turbine and generator auxiliaries, fuel gas piping, process and BOP piping, pumps, heat exchangers, compressed/instrument air, water and cooling systems, plant HVAC, and fire protection\nManage and schedule on-site crews to deliver project milestones on time and to SpaceXSI's quality and reliability standards\nEnsure crew adhere to mechanical scope, delivering high-integrity process and BOP systems critical to generation, start-up, and plant uptime\nMonitor daily progress of construction, maintaining detailed logs, red-line drawings, and as-built documentation for all plant mechanical infrastructure\nDevelop and enforce aggressive construction schedules while keeping the project on time and within budget\nChampion and enforce SpaceXSI's safety program, building a zero-incident culture across all teams working around heavy mechanical equipment, pressurized systems, fuel gas, and elevated work\nSupervise foremen and mechanical crews, fostering teamwork and accountability in a high-stakes generating-plant environment\nProactively resolve on-site challenges - material delays, technical conflicts, sequencing issues, and coordination with electrical, civil, and process trades - with a strong focus on mechanical system reliability and code compliance\nConduct regular site inspections to verify compliance with local regulations, mechanical codes, safety protocols, and SpaceXSI's quality standards\nPrepare and present clear progress reports, mechanical construction metrics, and risk updates to senior leadership\nSupport mechanical completion, flushing, hydrotest, first fire, commissioning, and turnover to operations\nBASIC QUALIFICATIONS:\n3+ years managing construction teams on industrial, power generation, or mechanical projects\n3+ years of direct hands-on experience in mechanical or electrical installations including process piping, pumps, heat exchangers, and plant mechanical systems\nHigh school diploma or equivalency certificate\nPREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:\nManagement experience with strong emphasis on large-scale industrial, power generation, or other mission-critical mechanical projects\nExperience in mechanical or electrical installations on power plants, generating stations, or heavy industrial projects\nPostsecondary diploma or degree in construction management, mechanical engineering, or related field\nProven track record supervising mechanical construction for gas turbine plants, generating stations, or similar industrial facilities\nFamiliarity with Memphis-area building codes, mechanical regulations (IMC, ASME, NFPA), and industrial / plant permitting\nExperience with construction management software (Procore, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, MS Project, etc.) on complex infrastructure projects\nDeep knowledge of mechanical construction critical paths, sequencing, and coordination with electrical, civil, and process trades through commissioning and start-up\nStrong understanding of power plant mechanical systems, including fuel gas, lube oil, compressed/instrument air, cooling water, and BOP piping designed for continuous generation\nDemonstrated ability to lead diverse crews under tight deadlines while maintaining collaboration and safety\nExpert-level commitment to mechanical safety (pressure systems, fuel gas, LOTO, confined space) and history of building strong safety cultures on regulated sites\nExcellent problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills for technically complex mechanical scenarios\nProficiency with Microsoft Office suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Teams, Project) for reporting and scheduling\nADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:\nAbility to relocate within the US depending on construction location(s)\nSubject to pre-employment drug screening and random drug and alcohol testing\nSubject to pre-employment and annual post-employment background checks\nComfortable working in industrial environments with exposure to noise, heavy equipment, excavations, and mechanical systems\nAvailable for evenings and weekends as site operational needs dictate\nAbility to lift 25+ lbs and perform physically demanding tasks in outdoor/tight conditions\nThis is a full-time, onsite role based in Southaven, MS\nSpaceXSI is an equal opportunity employer.
