## Description

You will oversee crews building infrastructure for SpaceXAI's on-site power generation plant in the Memphis region, including gas turbine packages and auxiliaries, fuel gas piping, process and BOP piping, pumps, heat exchangers, compressed/instrument air, water and cooling systems, plant HVAC, and fire protection.

This is a full-time, onsite role based in Southaven, MS with relocation required.

## Responsibilities:

- Oversee and coordinate mechanical installations including gas turbine and generator auxiliaries, fuel gas piping, process and BOP piping, pumps, heat exchangers, compressed/instrument air, water and cooling systems, plant HVAC, and fire protection.

- Manage and schedule on-site crews to deliver project milestones on time and to SpaceXAI's quality and reliability standards.

- Ensure crew adhere to mechanical scope, delivering high-integrity process and BOP systems critical to generation, start-up, and plant uptime.

- Monitor daily progress of construction, maintaining detailed logs, red-line drawings, and as-built documentation for all plant mechanical 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 heavy mechanical equipment, pressurized systems, fuel gas, and elevated work.

- Supervise foremen and mechanical crews, fostering teamwork and accountability in a high-stakes generating-plant environment.

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

- Conduct regular site inspections to verify compliance with local regulations, mechanical codes, safety protocols, and SpaceXAI's quality standards.

- Prepare and present clear progress reports, mechanical construction metrics, and risk updates to senior leadership.

- Support mechanical completion, flushing, hydrotest, first fire, commissioning, and turnover to operations.

## Basic Qualifications:

- 3+ years managing construction teams with a strong emphasis on large-scale industrial, power generation, or other mission-critical mechanical projects.

- 3+ years of direct hands-on experience in mechanical or electrical installations including process piping, pumps, heat exchangers, and plant mechanical systems , ideally on power plants, generating stations, or heavy industrial projects.

- High school diploma or equivalency certificate.

## Preferred Skills and Experience:

- Postsecondary diploma or degree in construction management, mechanical engineering, or related field.

- Proven track record supervising mechanical construction for gas turbine plants, generating stations, or similar industrial facilities.

- Familiarity with Memphis-area building codes, mechanical regulations (IMC, ASME, NFPA), and industrial / plant permitting.

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

- Deep knowledge of mechanical construction critical paths, sequencing, and coordination with electrical, civil, and process trades through commissioning and start-up.

- Strong understanding of power plant mechanical systems, including fuel gas, lube oil, compressed/instrument air, cooling water, and BOP piping designed for continuous generation.

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

- Expert-level commitment to mechanical safety (pressure systems, fuel gas, LOTO, confined space) and history of building strong safety cultures on regulated sites.

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

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

## Additional Requirements:

- Ability to relocate within the US depending on construction location(s).

- 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 mechanical 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.
