Construction Superintendent, Electrical - Night Shift (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.

CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT, ELECTRICAL - NIGHT SHIFT

You will oversee electrical contractors and crews building electrical infrastructure for SpaceXSI's Memphis data center — including underground duct banks, high-voltage and medium-voltage systems, power distribution, grounding, lighting, and process power for mission-critical facilities. If you thrive on hands-on leadership, complex industrial electrical construction, and contributing to high-impact AI infrastructure, join us to help deliver one of the most advanced data centers in the world. If you are a hands-on electrical construction leader who excels in high-stakes, mission-critical environments and is ready to drive the delivery of groundbreaking AI infrastructure, we encourage you to apply.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Oversee and coordinate electrical installations including underground duct banks, conduits, cable pulling, terminations, switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, PDUs, and grounding for SpaceXSI data centers

Manage and schedule electrical contractors, subcontractors, and on-site crews to deliver project milestones on time and to SpaceXSI's exacting quality and reliability standards

Ensure all contractors adhere to electrical scope, delivering high-integrity power systems critical to data center uptime and operational readiness

Monitor daily progress of electrical construction, maintaining detailed logs, red-line drawings, and as-built documentation for power 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 energized equipment, excavations, and heavy electrical installations

Supervise foremen and electrical crews, fostering teamwork and accountability in a high-stakes mission-critical environment

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

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

Prepare and present clear progress reports, electrical construction metrics, and risk updates to senior leadership

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

High school diploma or equivalency certificate

3+ years managing electrical construction teams

3+ years of direct hands-on experience in electrical installations including underground duct banks, high-voltage/medium-voltage systems, cable pulling/terminations, switchgear, and power distribution

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Experience managing teams with strong emphasis on large-scale industrial or mission-critical electrical projects

Direct hands-on experience on industrial processes or heavy power projects

Postsecondary diploma or degree in construction management, electrical engineering, or related field

Proven track record supervising electrical construction for data centers, hyperscale facilities, or similar mission-critical environments

Familiarity with Memphis-area building codes, electrical regulations (NEC, NFPA 70E), and industrial permitting

Experience with construction management software (Procore, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, MS Project, etc.) on complex infrastructure projects

Deep knowledge of electrical construction critical paths, sequencing, and coordination with mechanical/civil trades through commissioning

Strong understanding of data center electrical specifications, redundancy requirements, grounding, and power systems designed for 24/7 operation

Demonstrated ability to lead diverse crews under tight deadlines while maintaining collaboration and safety

Expert-level commitment to electrical safety (NFPA 70E, LOTO, arc flash) and history of building strong safety cultures on regulated sites

Excellent problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills for technically complex electrical scenarios

Proficiency with Microsoft Office suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Teams, Project) for reporting and scheduling

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Subject to pre-employment drug screening and random drug and alcohol testing

Subject to pre-employment and annual post-employment background checks

Comfortable working in industrial environments with exposure to noise, heavy equipment, excavations, and energized electrical systems

Available for evenings and weekends as site operational needs dictate

Ability to lift 25 lbs+ and perform physically demanding tasks in outdoor/tight conditions

This is a full-time, onsite role based in Memphis, Tennessee, with relocation required depending on additional construction locations within the US
