Sr. Construction Project Manager, Electrical Infrastructure - Memphis

About the Role

As a member of the SpaceXSI construction team in Memphis, 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 data center power systems and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This role is focused on delivering the electrical backbone that will power SpaceXSI's Memphis operations.

Responsibilities

• Own full lifecycle delivery of electrical construction projects (high-voltage substations, transformers, switchgear, BESS, data-center power distribution, UPS, generators, and low-voltage systems) with on-time and under-budget results
• Serve as the overall construction project manager and extreme owner in the field and office
• Manage day-to-day field operations, contractor performance, safety, quality, and coordination across electrical, civil, and related trades
• Perform project controls including scheduling, cost tracking, change management, and progress reporting
• Lead coordination with electrical contractors, fabricators, OEMs (switchgear, transformers, BESS, UPS), utilities, and internal stakeholders
• Resolve construction conflicts in the field in real-time across high-voltage, medium-voltage, and low-voltage scopes
• Develop and manage budgets based on preliminary electrical scope; track actuals vs. forecast
• Solicit and evaluate contractor/vendor proposals; support contract award and administration
• Drive city, county, utility, and governmental approvals, inspections, and interconnection activities
• Coordinate equipment deliveries, installation sequencing, testing, commissioning, and turnover to operations
• Partner with end users, facilities, and operations teams for energization, punch-list closeout, and long-term reliability of substations, BESS, and data-center power systems
• Support electrical capacity planning, space allocation, and load-growth coordination across the Memphis campus
• Take on new electrical infrastructure projects ad-hoc as business needs require

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
• 5+ years of professional experience in construction project management, preferably on electrical, industrial, data-center, substation, or energy-storage projects

Preferred Skills and Experience

• 7+ years of construction project management experience on large-scale electrical infrastructure (substations, data centers, BESS, industrial power)
• Experience managing multiple concurrent vertical/electrical construction projects
• Strong knowledge of construction sequencing, contractor management, safety programs, and quality control for high-voltage and data-center electrical work
• Familiarity with jurisdictional permitting, utility interconnection, and inspection processes
• Working knowledge of electrical systems: high-voltage substations, transformers, switchgear, BESS, UPS, generators, and low-voltage data-center distribution (ability to read one-lines and coordinate with engineers)
• Proven experience with estimating, cost control, scheduling (Primavera/MS Project or similar), and change-order management
• Experience reviewing shop drawings, submittals, RFIs, and as-builts
• Data center, BESS, substation, or large-scale manufacturing/power facility construction experience
• OSHA 30 or equivalent safety credentials

Additional Requirements

• Ability to work at elevated heights (200+ feet) and around energized/high-voltage equipment (with proper training and PPE)
• Physical effort with lifting and carrying materials or equipment (up to 25 lbs.)
• Typically exposed to work in extreme outdoor environments — heat, cold, rain — as well as indoor data-center and substation environments
• Work performed in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, noise, and electrical hazards
• Must be available to work extended hours and weekends when needed based on site operational and commissioning needs; flexibility required
• Valid driver’s license
• Occasional travel may be required to support projects at other sites
