Full description
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. 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.
SpaceXSI 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.
SR. CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER, ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
As 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.
This 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.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Own 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
- Serve as the overall construction project manager and extreme owner in the field and office
- Manage day-to-day field operations, contractor performance, safety, quality, and coordination across electrical, civil, and related trades
- Perform project controls including scheduling, cost tracking, change management, and progress reporting
- Lead coordination with electrical contractors, fabricators, OEMs (switchgear, transformers, BESS, UPS), utilities, and internal stakeholders
- Resolve construction conflicts in the field in real-time across high-voltage, medium-voltage, and low-voltage scopes
