Construction Superintendent

Fluidstack; United States; On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI, delivering gigawatt-scale data centers and fast, scalable construction methods. You will lead on-site execution, sequencing trades, and removing blockers to keep crews productive and aligned with the project plan.

We value autonomy, urgency, and a rigorous, first-principles approach. This role requires travel and willingness to live where the work is, as projects span multiple sites and regions.

Qualifications

• Experience supervising heavy industrial or mission-critical construction.
• Ability to sequence trades to prevent delays.
• Proven track record closing punch lists.
• Willingness to travel and live where work is.

Responsibilities

• Run the field on a gigawatt-scale data center build: sequencing, trade coordination, and daily production against the plan.
• Walk the job daily and clear blockers before crews wait: RFIs, materials, access, inspections.
• Enforce quality and safety standards at the workface, not from the trailer.
• Coordinate with commissioning so systems complete in the order startup needs, not the order construction prefers.

Job description

About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.

• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

• Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.

• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

The Construction Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Put gigawatts in the ground, faster than anyone has. We're delivering one of the largest data center buildouts of its kind, with many sites running at once. Traditional construction management breaks at this scale, so we're building the model that replaces it.

• Throw out traditional construction and invent how gigawatts get built. Tons of tools, layers of process, and administrative drag don't get you there. You'll strip all of that out and win by solving the real problem and beating the goal, not by managing toward it.

• Productize the data center so we can build it a thousand times. You'll turn one-off construction into a repeatable, modular build, where the hundredth site goes up faster and cleaner than the first. That repeatability is the only way to reach the scale we're targeting.

Role Scope

• Run the field on a gigawatt-scale data center build: sequencing, trade coordination, and daily production against the plan.

• Walk the job daily and clear blockers before crews wait: RFIs, materials, access, inspections.

• Enforce quality and safety standards at the workface, not from the trailer.

• Coordinate with commissioning so systems complete in the order startup needs, not the order construction prefers.

What We're Looking For

• You've superintended heavy industrial or mission critical construction and hit the dates.

• You sequence trades in your head and spot a clash before it costs a day.

• Inspectors and foremen both respect you, for different reasons.

• You've closed out punch lists that stayed closed.

• You'll travel and live where the work is.

• Bonus: Data center MEP-heavy builds. Modular installation. OSHA 30. Commissioning handover experience.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
