Sr. Construction Project Manager

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

SR. CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER

As a member of the SpaceX construction team at Starbase, you will lead the field execution and delivery of some of the world’s most technically advanced electrical infrastructure — from high-voltage substations through medium-voltage distribution to low-voltage production, launch, and facility power systems and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). We execute complex electrical construction projects from groundbreaking through energization and turnover. You will operate with autonomy, own schedule and budget, manage multiple projects at once, and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You will work with construction engineers, electrical contractors, equipment vendors, utilities, and internal customers to deliver reliable, high-capacity electrical systems that support Starship production, test, and launch operations. This is a construction management role focused on field leadership, contractor performance, and on-time delivery. The position is based at Starbase, TX.

This role is focused on delivering the electrical backbone — from the high-voltage substation down to the low-voltage racks and BESS — that will power SpaceX’s Starbase operations.

 

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Oversee and own the full lifecycle of electrical construction projects (high-voltage substations, transformers, switchgear, BESS, production and launch-site power distribution, UPS, generators, and low-voltage systems) with on-time and under-budget delivery

• Manage all aspects of multi-discipline electrical construction projects in the field and office; act as overall construction project manager and extreme owner

• Perform project control tasks including electrical project scheduling, cost control, and commissioning coordination

• Interact with electrical contractors, fabricators, OEMs (switchgear, transformers, BESS, UPS), utilities, and internal customers

• Resolve design and construction conflicts in the field in real-time, including high-voltage, medium-voltage, and low-voltage systems

• Provide budgetary costs based upon the preliminary electrical scope of the project

• Gather proposals from electrical engineers, contractors, and vendors; assign contracts upon receipt of all proposals

• Facilitate city, county, utility, and governmental approvals (including interconnection, permitting, and environmental)

• Coordinate project implementation, equipment delivery, installation, testing, and track project status through energization and turnover

• Coordinate with end users, facilities, and operations teams for building electrical operations, maintenance, and BESS/facility power reliability

• Develop tools and approaches to suppo
