Carpenter (Construction) - Memphis

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.

The carpentry role acts as a key support system for all phases and disciplines of SpaceXSI data center construction. By building forms, platforms, railings, and related structures, SpaceXSI carpenters support the full construction team’s needs across civil, concrete, plumbing, electrical, and related disciplines.

As a Construction Carpenter, you will layout, cut, assemble, and turn over the temporary and permanent structures that keep the Memphis/Southaven supercomputer campus moving: concrete formwork, work platforms, stairs and railings, blocking, embeds, protection, and related wood and light-gauge work. This is a build job, not a facilities-maintenance job — you build what the next trade needs, then move with the work. This position is based in Southaven, MS / Memphis, TN.

This is an hourly position with overtime.

• Build, set, and strip concrete formwork, bulkheads, blockouts, embeds, and related forming for foundations, pads, walls, piers, and equipment bases in support of civil and concrete work.

• Construct work platforms, stairs, ladders, railings, toe boards, and access structures so civil, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and related crews can work safely at height and around equipment.

• Frame, hang, and finish wood and light-gauge structures, including blocking, backing, partitions, door and window bucks, and equipment pads per issued-for-construction drawings.

• Layout from control, measure, cut, and assemble lumber, plywood, engineered wood, and related materials to drawing, specification, and site standards.

• Build and maintain temporary facilities, weather protection, enclosures, and safety structures that keep other trades productive through all construction phases.

• Read and interpret construction drawings, details, elevations, and work orders; produce as-built markups.

• Follow fall protection, lockout/tagout (LOTO), PPE, hot-work, and permit requirements on an active construction site.

• Operate hand and power tools (saws, drills, nailers, lasers, levels); climb structures; stage, protect, and store materials.

• Coordinate with civil, concrete, plumbing, electrical, and other trades so forms, openings, embeds, and platforms land correctly for the next install.

• Support punch-list closeout and turnover with engineers, contractors, and vendors.

• Document work performed and as-built markups.

• Operate company vehicles and specialized equipment; inspect and store personal protective equipment (PPE).

• Perform similar or less skilled incidental duties as assigned.

• High school diploma or equivalency certificate.

• 3+ years of commercial, industrial, or heavy-civil carpentry experience building formwork, platforms, railings, framing, or related structures.

• Ability to read construction drawings, details, elevations, and work packages.

• Proficiency with construction hand and power tools
