Descripción del empleo

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 MANAGER, STRUCTURAL

Most construction managers inherit a schedule someone else built and a set of contractors someone else hired. This one does not.

SpaceX builds its own launch sites, factories, test stands, and AI superclusters - and it plans to keep building. The rockets, the chips, and the missions only matter if the ground under them is real. Construction is how that ground gets built, to a standard the company can actually use. The work does not dry up between jobs. There is a next site, and one after that.

You are the senior construction lead for the structural scope. You own the site relationships, the vendors, and the outcome. You report to central construction leadership, and that line can shift as the project evolves. You are on the job, walking the work, and clearing what is in the way.

Scope includes, but not limited to structural steel, ironwork, metal deck, framing, elevated slabs, flooring systems, roofing, carpentry, and general construction of the building itself: the metal skeleton, the floors, the roof, and the data halls. Crane and rigging work is in scope when it is raising the structure. Welding is in scope when it is steel structure.

Right now the job is the data center in Memphis, Tennessee. Later work can move to other U.S. construction sites.
