Job Description

SpaceXAI's mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company's mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important. All employees are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates.

As a Construction Electrician, you will install and terminate new electrical infrastructure: conduit, cable tray, underground duct bank, cable, wire, and 480 V building and feeder work. This is a build job, not an operating-plant job — pull, land, and energize new equipment from drawings, then turn it over. You will follow lockout/tagout and grounding procedures and support first energization of new 480 V systems. This position is primarily based in Southaven, MS.

This is an hourly position with overtime. Expect 80% or more travel on a rotation, with per diem while on site.

• Install, terminate, and land new campus electrical equipment, including breakers, transformers, switches, buswork, control systems, and batteries at 480 V.
• Install conduit, cable tray, cable, wire, and terminations per issued-for-construction drawings; perform underground duct bank, trench, and cable-pull work.
• Perform installation quality checks and electrical testing (voltmeters, ohmmeters, ammeters, insulation megger) and assist with acceptance and commissioning tests on new gear.
• Read and interpret construction drawings, one-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, and work orders.
• Follow lockout/tagout (LOTO), grounding, clearance procedures, NFPA 70E, and PPE requirements on an active construction site.
• Uncrate, set, and dress equipment; climb structures; operate hand and power tools, pulls, blowers, pumps, and portable generators.
• Support construction energization sequences, punch-list closeout, and turnover to operations with engineers and vendors.
• Document work performed, test results, and as-built markups.
• Operate company vehicles and specialized equipment; inspect and store personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Perform similar or less skilled incidental duties as assigned.

• High school diploma or equivalency certificate.
• 5+ years of industrial or data center electrical construction installing conduit, tray, duct bank, cable, and 480 V terminations.
• Ability to read construction drawings, one-lines, manuals, and work packages.
• Proficiency with common electrical test tools (multimeter, megger, ammeter) and construction hand and power tools.
• Working knowledge of NFPA 70E and lockout/tagout (LOTO).
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs, work at heights and in confined spaces, and work outdoors in all weather.
• Hourly position with overtime; willingness to work nights, weekends, and extended shifts during construction and energization.
• Ability and willingness to travel 80% or more on a construction rotation; per diem provided while on site.

• Current state journeyman electrician license (Tennessee or Mississippi preferred, or equivalent state journeyman license with the ability to obtain TN or MS).
• Industrial, manufacturing, or data center construction experience building raceway and cable plant.
• Experience on large-scale, multi-site construction projects that required a travel rotation.
• OSHA 30 or equivalent construction safety training in addition to NFPA 70E.
• Knowledge of print reading for drawings, manuals, and one-lines.

• Schedule varies depending on site operational needs; frequent overtime and weekend support is required.
• Ability to perform job duties that require standing, kneeling, crouching, twisting upper body, working in cramped positions, climbing, lifting up to 50 lbs., and working on ladders/lifts at elevated heights.
• Ability to work in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, noise, heat, cold, and rain.
• Ability to rapidly change roles/responsibilities while working in a high-paced, challenging work environment.
• Stand: up to 6 hours per day.
• Sit: up to 3 hours per day.
