Facilities Technician - Memphis

Job Description

Job Description

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 making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

SpaceXSI is building and operating one of the world's largest AI training campuses in Memphis, including Colossus and site facilities that support it. As a Facilities Technician, you are the hands-on crew that keeps offices, support buildings, and grounds in exceptional working condition. 

This role performs building and grounds maintenance: plumbing and toilet repairs, building HVAC, basic electrical and transformers, carpentry, painting, and general break/fix. You will run work tickets, complete preventive maintenance, and support moves, events, and vendor work across an assigned area of the campus. This is facilities maintenance—not data center rack cooling or CUP operations.

• Respond to work tickets for leaks, HVAC issues, electrical problems, and general break/fix; complete preventive maintenance on assigned assets.
• Aid janitorial and site staff with general support, including moving furniture and equipment, disposing of construction waste, and set-up and tear-down of special event areas.
• Support campus-wide operations and maintenance programs as assigned by facilities leadership.
• Operate forklifts, scissor lifts, and boom lifts when needed.
• Open, track, and resolve electronic work tickets in the site work-order system.
• Adhere to proper safety guidelines at all times.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• High school diploma or equivalency certificate.
• 2+ years of experience with facilities maintenance.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Experience in construction, equipment maintenance, and tenant improvements.
• Experience with plumbing systems, drains, lift stations, sewer machines, and pumps.
• Experience with building HVAC troubleshooting and repair.
• Experience with basic electrical maintenance, including building electrical and transformers.
• Experience with carpentry maintenance, including drywall installation and/or repair, window replacement, cabinet/countertop replacement, painting/texturing (interior and exterior), and door/hardware installation.
• Ability to read instructions and basic floor plans or blueprints.
• Experience with work-order or project tracking software, MS Excel, Word, Outlook, and Teams.
• Ability to understand and follow specific instructions and procedures.
• Self-motivated; works well with others and autonomously.
• Safety training and use of forklifts, scissor lifts, and fall protection equipment.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Based at the Memphis, TN campus.
• Able to lift 35 lbs. unassisted.
• Lifting, standing, climbing, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, stretching, and carrying are generally required to perform the functions of this position.
• Able to work at elevated heights, including the use of ladders and lifts for building and roof work.

• Participate in 24/7 on-call rotation as assigned for building emergencies.
