ABOUT THE ROLE

You will oversee electrical contractors and crews building the advanced electrical infrastructure for SpaceXAI'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.

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

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Oversee and coordinate electrical installations including underground duct banks, conduits, cable pulling, terminations, switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, PDUs, and grounding for SpaceXAI Data Centers.
• Manage and schedule electrical contractors, subcontractors, and on-site crews to deliver project milestones on time and to SpaceXAI'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 night-shift 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 SpaceXAI's safety program, building a zero-incident culture across all teams working around energized equipment, excavations, and heavy electrical installations.
• Lead, train, and 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 night-shift site inspections to verify compliance with local regulations, electrical codes, safety protocols, and SpaceXAI's stringent quality standards.
• Prepare and present clear progress reports, electrical construction metrics, and risk updates to senior leadership.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years managing electrical construction teams with strong emphasis on large-scale industrial or mission-critical electrical projects.
• 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 - ideally on data centers, industrial process, or heavy power projects.
• High school diploma or equivalency certificate.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• 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 to work night shift as the primary schedule, with flexibility for evenings and weekends as site operational needs dictate.
• Ability to lift 25+ lbs and perform physically demanding tasks in outdoor/tight conditions.
