About The Position

SpaceXSI is hiring a Construction Superintendent, Electrical for its mobile construction team. The role leads a self-performing electrical crew building SpaceX facilities and infrastructure, including launch sites, factories, test stands, and AI superclusters. The current assignment is in Memphis, Tennessee / Southaven, Mississippi, with future assignments requiring relocation to other U.S. construction sites. Per diem is provided while on assignment. The superintendent oversees foremen and their crews, sets and enforces expectations for safety, quality, schedule, and conduct, and removes obstacles to progress. The scope includes underground duct banks, high- and medium-voltage systems, power distribution, grounding, lighting, and process power for mission-critical facilities. The position is part of a 24/7 operation and may include night shifts, rotating shifts, extended hours, weekends, and holidays. A shift differential is provided for hours worked during off-nominal hours on an assigned night shift. The role maintains electrical quality, reliability, code compliance, and system integrity for data center uptime; tracks progress and maintains logs, red-line drawings, and as-built records; manages schedules and budgets; resolves site and trade-coordination issues; and reports progress, metrics, and risks to senior leadership. Employment is subject to pre-employment drug screening, random drug/alcohol testing, and pre- and post-employment background checks.

Responsibilities

Directly oversee foremen and, through them, a large self-perform electrical crew installing underground duct banks, conduits, cable, terminations, switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, PDUs, and grounding.
Set expectations for safety, quality, schedule, and conduct, and hold foremen and crews accountable when expectations are missed.
Remove roadblocks involving materials, access, sequencing, coordination with other trades, and decisions.
Recommend promotions, role changes, and corrective action based on performance.
Plan and run the night-shift assignment, including extended hours, as part of a 24/7 operation.
Ensure electrical installations meet SpaceXSI quality and reliability standards, code requirements, and system-integrity requirements for data center uptime.
Track daily progress and maintain logs, red-line drawings, and as-built documentation for power infrastructure.
Build and maintain an aggressive construction schedule, delivering on time and within budget.
Champion the safety program and a zero-incident culture around energized equipment, excavations, and heavy electrical work.
Resolve on-site material delays, technical conflicts, sequencing issues, and trade-coordination matters with attention to reliability and code compliance.
Inspect work for compliance with local regulations, electrical codes, safety protocols, and SpaceXSI quality standards.
Report progress, electrical construction metrics, and risks to senior leadership.
Relocate with the mobile team as assignments change, beginning with the Memphis, TN / Southaven, MS assignment.
