You will oversee electrical contractors and crews building electrical infrastructure for xAI’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. This full‑time, onsite role based in Memphis, Tennessee requires relocation to additional construction sites within the US as needed. The position calls for strong leadership, safety culture, and the ability to deliver complex industrial electrical projects on schedule.

Requirements

Skills

  • 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 industrial processes or heavy power projects
  • High school diploma or equivalency certificate
  • 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
  • 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 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 electrical installations including underground duct banks, conduits, cable pulling, terminations, switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, PDUs, and grounding for xAI Data Centers
  • Manage and schedule electrical contractors, subcontractors, and on‑site crews to deliver project milestones on time and to xAI’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 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 xAI’s safety program, building a zero‑incident culture across all teams working around energized equipment, excavations, and heavy electrical installations
  • 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 site inspections to verify compliance with local regulations, electrical codes, safety protocols, and xAI’s stringent quality standards
  • Prepare and present clear progress reports, electrical construction metrics, and risk updates to senior leadership
