Job Description
Most construction jobs manage someone else’s crew on someone else’s schedule, then end when the project does.
Key Responsibilities
- Directly oversee foremen and, through them, a large self-perform electrical crew installing underground duct banks, conduits, cable, terminations, switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, PDUs, and grounding
- Set clear expectations for safety, quality, schedule, and conduct, and hold foremen and crews accountable when those expectations are missed
- Remove roadblocks so crews can keep working: materials, access, sequencing, coordination with other trades, and decisions
- Recommend promotions, role changes, and corrective action based on performance
- Plan and run the night-shift assignment, including extended hours, as part of a 24/7 operation
- Keep electrical installations on SpaceXSI’s quality and reliability standards, including code compliance and system integrity required for data center uptime
- Track daily progress and maintain logs, red-line drawings, and as-built documentation for power infrastructure
- Build and hold an aggressive construction schedule, on time and within budget
- Champion SpaceXSI’s safety program and a zero-incident culture around energized equipment, excavations, and heavy electrical work
- Resolve on-site issues — material delays, technical conflicts, sequencing, and trade coordination — with attention to reliability and code compliance
- Inspect work for compliance with local regulations, electrical codes, safety protocols, and SpaceXSI quality standards
- Report progress, electrical construction metrics, and risks to senior leadership
- Relocate with the mobile team as assignments change, starting in Memphis, TN / Southaven, MS
Requirements
- High school diploma or equivalency certificate
- 3+ years leading electrical construction teams, including supervision of foremen
- 3+ years of direct hands-on experience in electrical installations, including underground duct banks, high-voltage/medium-voltage systems, cable pulling and terminations, switchgear, and power distribution
- Experience leading large self-perform crews on 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 a related field
- Track record on data centers, hyperscale facilities, or similar mission-critical electrical construction
- Familiarity with Memphis-area building codes, NEC, NFPA 70E, and industrial permitting
- Experience with Procore, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, MS Project, or similar tools on complex infrastructure work
- Strong grasp of electrical critical path, sequencing, and coordination with mechanical and civil trades through commissioning
- Understanding of data center electrical specifications, redundancy, grounding, and power systems built for 24/7 operation
- History of leading diverse crews to a deadline without giving up collaboration or safety
- Working knowledge of NFPA 70E, LOTO, and arc flash, and a record of building a safety culture on regulated sites
- Strong problem-solving and conflict resolution on technically complex electrical work
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Teams, Project)
- This role is part of the mobile construction team and you will be expected to travel to the assigned work project. Current work assignment is based in Memphis, TN / Southaven, MS. Future assignments will require relocation to other U.S. construction sites. Per diem is provided while on assignment
- Must be willing to work any shift, extended hours and/or holidays during assigned work assignment. This includes rotating shifts, nights and/or weekends. If you are assigned night shift, you will receive a shift differential for hours worked during off nominal hours
- Must be willing to work in industrial environments with exposure to noise, heavy equipment, excavations, and energized electrical systems. Must be able to lift 25 lbs+ unassisted and perform physically demanding tasks outdoors/indoors, tight conditions and/or at heights
