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.\nABOUT THE ROLE:\nAs a member of the SpaceXSI construction team in Memphis, you will lead the field execution and delivery of some of the world’s most technically advanced electrical infrastructure - from high-voltage substations through medium-voltage distribution to low-voltage data center power systems and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). We execute complex electrical construction projects from groundbreaking through energization and turnover. You will operate with autonomy, own schedule and budget, manage multiple projects at once, and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You will work with construction engineers, electrical contractors, equipment vendors, utilities, and internal customers to deliver reliable, high-capacity electrical systems that support AI-scale compute. This is a construction management role focused on field leadership, contractor performance, and on-time delivery. The position is based in Memphis, TN.\nThis role is focused on delivering the electrical backbone - from the high-voltage substation down to the low-voltage racks and BESS - that will power SpaceXSI's Memphis operations.\nRESPONSIBILITIES:\nOwn full lifecycle delivery of electrical construction projects (high-voltage substations, transformers, switchgear, BESS, data-center power distribution, UPS, generators, and low-voltage systems) with on-time and under-budget results\nServe as the overall construction project manager and extreme owner in the field and office\nManage day-to-day field operations, contractor performance, safety, quality, and coordination across electrical, civil, and related trades\nPerform project controls including scheduling, cost tracking, change management, and progress reporting\nLead coordination with electrical contractors, fabricators, OEMs (switchgear, transformers, BESS, UPS), utilities, and internal stakeholders\nResolve construction conflicts in the field in real-time across high-voltage, medium-voltage, and low-voltage scopes\nDevelop and manage budgets based on preliminary electrical scope; track actuals vs. forecast\nSolicit and evaluate contractor/vendor proposals; support contract award and administration\nDrive city, county, utility, and governmental approvals, inspections, and interconnection activities\nCoordinate equipment deliveries, installation sequencing, testing, commissioning, and turnover to operations\nPartner with end users, facilities, and operations teams for energization, punch-list closeout, and long-term reliability of substations, BESS, and data-center power systems\nSupport electrical capacity planning, space allocation, and load-growth coordination across the Memphis campus\nTake on new electrical infrastructure projects ad-hoc as business needs require\nBASIC QUALIFICATIONS:\nBachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience\n5+ years of professional experience in construction project management, preferably on electrical, industrial, data-center, substation, or energy-storage projects\nPREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:\n7+ years of construction project management experience on large-scale electrical infrastructure (substations, data centers, BESS, industrial power)\nExperience managing multiple concurrent vertical/electrical construction projects\nStrong knowledge of construction sequencing, contractor management, safety programs, and quality control for high-voltage and data-center electrical work\nFamiliarity with jurisdictional permitting, utility interconnection, and inspection processes\nWorking knowledge of electrical systems: high-voltage substations, transformers, switchgear, BESS, UPS, generators, and low-voltage data-center distribution (ability to read one-lines and coordinate with engineers)\nProven experience with estimating, cost control, scheduling (Primavera/MS Project or similar), and change-order management\nExperience reviewing shop drawings, submittals, RFIs, and as-builts\nData center, BESS, substation, or large-scale manufacturing/power facility construction experience\nOSHA 30 or equivalent safety credentials\nADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:\nAbility to work at elevated heights (200+ feet) and around energized/high-voltage equipment (with proper training and PPE)\nPhysical effort with lifting and carrying materials or equipment (up to 25 lbs.)\nTypically exposed to work in extreme outdoor environments - heat, cold, rain - as well as indoor data-center and substation environments\nWork performed in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, noise, and electrical hazards\nMust be available to work extended hours and weekends when needed based on site operational and commissioning needs; flexibility required\nValid driver’s license\nOccasional travel may be required to support projects at other sites\nSpaceXSI is an equal opportunity employer.
