SpaceX Sr. Construction Project Manager at SpaceX leads field execution and delivery of advanced electrical infrastructure projects at Starbase. The role manages multi-discipline electrical construction projects from groundbreaking to turnover.
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 supporting electrical space allocation, power capacity planning, and load growth across the Starbase site
Coordinate electrical real-estate and utility planning functions as needed
