About The Position

SpaceX is seeking a BIM Specialist to lead Building Information Modeling (BIM) integration and coordination for fast-paced, multidisciplinary projects supporting Starship production and launch sites, data centers, and offices. The role serves as a key technical resource for buildings and the systems within them, managing BIM across the project lifecycle from design through construction and turnover. The BIM Specialist develops and maintains models for multiple engineering disciplines, coordinates models among internal engineers and external design consultants, and supports design and construction teams in maintaining a living model that culminates in an as-built facility model. The position is based onsite in Starbase, Texas; remote work is not considered. Travel to other SpaceX locations and extended hours or weekends may be needed for mission-critical projects and site operations.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in architecture, engineering, or construction management.
At least 3 years of hands-on experience as a BIM Specialist or Modeler in a construction or engineering environment.
Must be willing to travel to various SpaceX locations for mission-critical projects.
Must be willing to work extended hours and/or weekends to align with project deadlines and site operations.
