Sr. Electrical Construction Project Engineer

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 enabling human life on Mars.

SR. ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT ENGINEER

As a member of the SpaceX construction team at Starbase, you will design, build, and activate some of the world’s most technically advanced electrical infrastructure — from high-voltage substations through medium-voltage distribution to low-voltage production, launch, and facility power systems and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). We execute complex electrical construction projects and infrastructure improvements from cradle to grave. You will operate with autonomy to solve diverse and complex power-system problems, excel at managing multiple projects at a time, and work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You will work with other construction engineers, electrical contractors, equipment vendors, utilities, architects, and internal customers to deliver reliable, high-capacity electrical systems that support Starship production, test, and launch operations. All SpaceX construction engineers serve additionally as project managers and supers — this is a construction management role per industry standards. The position is based at Starbase, TX.

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 SpaceX’s Starbase operations.

• Oversee and own the full lifecycle of electrical construction projects (high-voltage substations, transformers, switchgear, BESS, production and launch-site power distribution, UPS, generators, and low-voltage systems) with on-time and under-budget delivery

• Manage all aspects of multi-discipline electrical construction projects in the field and office; act as overall construction project manager and extreme owner

• Perform project control tasks including electrical project scheduling, cost control, and commissioning coordination

• Interact with electrical contractors, fabricators, OEMs (switchgear, transformers, BESS, UPS), utilities, and internal customers

• Resolve design and construction conflicts in the field in real-time, including high-voltage, medium-voltage, and low-voltage systems

• Provide budgetary costs based upon the preliminary electrical scope of the project
