- Oversee end-to-end project execution, from pre-construction and site development through commissioning and handover.
- Coordinate multiple vendors and trade partners, ensuring seamless communication between field teams, engineering disciplines, and technical stakeholders.
- Proactively identify and mitigate risks to ensure high-quality delivery, safety, schedule adherence, and operational readiness.
- Drive project progress, resolving roadblocks and keeping complex, multi-phase timelines on track.
- Create and align construction schedules and deliverables with xAI's broader infrastructure and AI supercomputing goals through cross-functional collaboration.
- Partner with engineering and commissioning teams to guide technical integration and resolve issues efficiently.
- Deliver regular updates using well-designed KPIs, dashboards, and reports for internal and external stakeholders.
- Ensure the project meets technical, quality, and engineering standards outlined in the base design.
- Perform quantity take-offs, field verifications, and progress monitoring to support accurate forecasting and reporting.
- Manage change orders, identifying value-engineered solutions to minimize unnecessary changes and control costs.
- Lead site safety initiatives, fostering a consistent and effective safety culture.
- Adapt to evolving needs, supporting cross-functional partners as required, regardless of original job scope.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, or related Engineering discipline (or equivalent experience).
- 5+ years of experience managing large-scale construction projects, with a focus on data centers, mission-critical facilities, or industrial infrastructure.
- Strong engineering background with proven ability to interpret drawings, specifications, and technical requirements across multiple disciplines.
- Demonstrated success leading on-site construction teams with authority and building trust with vendors, partners, and technical stakeholders.
- Experience managing large programs involving multiple vendors, dynamic priorities, and complex coordination.
- Excellent communication skills across disciplines, from field-level updates to technical escalations with engineering teams.
- Thrives in solving complex, real-time problems with adaptability, composure, and data-driven decision making.
- Ability to travel as needed.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- Previous experience in data center or hyperscale construction projects.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license or advanced engineering credentials.
- Familiarity with Memphis/Shelby County building codes, regulations, and permitting processes.
- Experience with commissioning, MEP systems, structural works, or site development for technical facilities.
