You will oversee mechanical contractors and crews building the advanced mechanical infrastructure for SpaceXAI's Data Centers in Memphis, TN. This full‑time onsite role requires strong leadership, experience with large‑scale HVAC and cooling systems, and a commitment to safety and quality.

Requirements

Skills

  • 3+ years managing mechanical construction teams with strong emphasis on large‑scale industrial or mission‑critical mechanical projects
  • 3+ years of direct hands‑on experience in mechanical installations including process piping, HVAC systems, chilled water plants, pumps, and cooling infrastructure — ideally on data centers, industrial processes, or heavy mechanical projects
  • High school diploma or equivalency certificate
  • Postsecondary diploma or degree in construction management, mechanical engineering, or related field (preferred)
  • Familiarity with Memphis‑area building codes, mechanical regulations (IMC, ASME, NFPA), and industrial permitting
  • Experience with construction management software (Procore, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, MS Project, etc.) on complex infrastructure projects
  • Strong understanding of data center mechanical specifications, redundancy requirements (N+1, 2N), energy efficiency, and cooling systems designed for 24/7 operation
  • Expert‑level commitment to mechanical safety (pressure systems, 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
  • 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

Responsibilities

  • Oversee and coordinate mechanical installations including chilled water piping, condenser systems, HVAC equipment, cooling towers, pumps, heat exchangers, ductwork, CRAC/CRAH units, and fire suppression systems for SpaceXAI Data Centers
  • Manage and schedule mechanical 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 mechanical scope, delivering high‑integrity cooling and process systems critical to data center uptime, efficiency, and thermal management
  • Monitor daily progress of mechanical construction, maintaining detailed logs, red‑line drawings, and as‑built documentation for all 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, and elevated work
  • Supervise foremen and mechanical 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 electrical/civil 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 stringent quality standards
  • Prepare and present clear progress reports, mechanical construction metrics, and risk updates to senior leadership
