Construction Superintendent, Power Generation - 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.

You will oversee crews building the infrastructure for SpaceXSI's on-site power generation plant in the Memphis region — including gas turbine packages and auxiliaries, fuel gas piping, process and BOP piping, pumps, heat exchangers, compressed/instrument air, water and cooling systems, plant HVAC, and fire protection. If you thrive on hands-on leadership, complex industrial mechanical construction, and delivering generation that stays online, join us to help build the power plant that supports SpaceXSI's high-density AI supercomputing facilities.

This is a full-time, onsite role based in Southaven, MS with relocation required.

• Oversee and coordinate mechanical installations including gas turbine and generator auxiliaries, fuel gas piping, process and BOP piping, pumps, heat exchangers, compressed/instrument air, water and cooling systems, plant HVAC, and fire protection.

• Manage and schedule on-site crews to deliver project milestones on time and to SpaceXSI's quality and reliability standards.

• Ensure crew adhere to mechanical scope, delivering high-integrity process and BOP systems critical to generation, start-up, and plant uptime.

• Monitor daily progress of construction, maintaining detailed logs, red-line drawings, and as-built documentation for all plant mechanical infrastructure.

• Develop and enforce aggressive construction schedules while keeping the project on time and within budget.

• Champion and enforce SpaceXSI's safety program, building a zero-incident culture across all teams working around heavy mechanical equipment, pressurized systems, fuel gas, and elevated work.

• Supervise foremen and mechanical crews, fostering teamwork and accountability in a high-stakes generating-plant environment.

• Proactively resolve on-site challenges — material delays, technical conflicts, sequencing issues, and coordination with electrical, civil, and process trades — with a strong focus on mechanical system reliability and code compliance.

• Conduct regular site inspections to verify compliance with local regulations, mechanical codes, safety protocols, and SpaceXSI's quality standards.

• Prepare and present clear progress reports, mechanical construction metrics, and risk updates to senior leadership.

• Support mechanical completion, flushing, hydrotest, first fire, commissioning, and turnover to operations.

• 3+ years managing construction teams with a strong emphasis on large-scale industrial, power generation, or other mission-critical mechanical projects.

• 3+ years of direct hands-on experience in mechanical or electrical installations including process piping, pumps, heat exchangers, and plant mechanical systems — ideally on power plants, generating stations, or heavy industrial projects.

• High school diploma or equivalency certificate.
