If you thrive on hands-on leadership, complex structural construction, and contributing to high-impact AI infrastructure, join us to help deliver one of the most advanced data centers in the world.</p> <p>This is a full-time, onsite role based in Memphis, Tennessee, with relocation required depending on additional construction locations within the US.</p> <h3><strong>RESPONSIBILITIES</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Oversee and coordinate structural installations during night shift hours, including foundations, formwork, rebar placement, concrete pouring and finishing, structural steel erection, embeds, equipment supports, and seismic/wind-resistant systems for xAI Data Centers.</li> <li>Manage and schedule structural contractors, subcontractors, and on-site crews to deliver project milestones on time and to xAI’s exacting quality and reliability standards.</li> <li>Ensure all contractors adhere to structural scope, delivering high-integrity foundations and building frameworks critical to supporting massive electrical and mechanical loads.</li> <li>Monitor daily night-shift progress of structural construction, maintaining detailed logs, red-line drawings, and as-built documentation for all structural elements.</li> <li>Develop and enforce aggressive construction schedules while keeping the project on time and within budget.</li> <li>Champion and enforce xAI’s safety program, building a zero-incident culture across all teams working around excavations, heavy rigging, elevated steel erection, and concrete operations during night hours.</li> <li>Lead, train, and supervise foremen and structural crews, fostering teamwork and accountability in a high-stakes mission-critical environment.</li> <li>Proactively resolve on-site challenges — material delays, technical conflicts, sequencing issues, and coordination with civil, electrical, and mechanical trades — with a strong focus on structural integrity and code compliance.</li> <li>Conduct regular night-shift site inspections to verify compliance with local regulations, structural codes, safety protocols, and xAI’s stringent quality standards.</li> <li>Prepare and present clear progress reports, structural construction metrics, and risk updates to senior leadership.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>BASIC QUALIFICATIONS</strong></h3> <ul> <li>3+ years managing structural construction teams with strong emphasis on large-scale industrial or mission-critical structural projects.</li> <li>3+ years of direct hands-on experience in structural work including foundations, concrete forming/rebar, structural steel erection, and heavy support systems — ideally on data centers, industrial process, or heavy civil projects.</li> <li>High school diploma or equivalency certificate.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Postsecondary diploma or degree in construction management, civil/structural engineering, or related field.</li> <li>Proven track record supervising structural construction for data centers, hyperscale facilities, semiconductor plants, or similar mission-critical environments.</li> <li>Familiarity with Memphis-area building codes, structural regulations (IBC, ACI, AISC), and industrial permitting.</li> <li>Experience with construction management software (Procore, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, MS Project, etc.) on complex infrastructure projects.</li> <li>Deep knowledge of structural construction critical paths, sequencing, shoring, and coordination with other trades through commissioning.</li> <li>Strong understanding of data center structural specifications, load-bearing requirements, seismic design, and long-term durability for 24/7 operations.</li> <li>Demonstrated ability to lead diverse crews under tight deadlines while maintaining collaboration and safety.</li> <li>Expert-level commitment to structural safety (fall protection, rigging, excavation safety, concrete operations) and history of building strong safety cultures on regulated sites.</li> <li>Excellent problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills for technically complex structural scenarios.</li> <li>Proficiency with Microsoft Office suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Teams, Project) for reporting and scheduling.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Subject to pre-employment drug screening and random drug and alcohol testing.</li> <li>Subject to pre-employment and annual post-employment background checks.</li> <li>Comfortable working in industrial environments with exposure to noise, heavy equipment, excavations, heights, and structural operations.</li> <li>Available to work <strong>night shift</strong> as the primary schedule, with flexibility for evenings and weekends as site operational needs dictate.</li> <li>Ability to lift 25+ lbs and perform physically demanding tasks in outdoor/tight conditions.</li> </ul> <p>If you are a hands-on structural construction leader who excels in high-stakes, mission-critical environments and is ready to own the night shift on groundbreaking AI infrastructure, we encourage you to apply.</p>
