Supervisor, Power Generation - Memphis

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 understand the universe and help expand humanity’s knowledge and capabilities. We work across the full Super Intelligence stack: compute (Colossus supercomputers), models (Grok), and applications (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:

As a Supervisor on the power generation team, you will lead the technicians who operate, maintain, and repair on-site generation that powers SpaceXAI’s high-density AI supercomputing facilities. You will oversee plant technicians, process technicians, and electrical technicians as one operations and maintenance team — covering gas turbine packages, balance-of-plant, process/fluid systems, and plant electrical systems through 34.5 kV.

You will operate with autonomy to solve diverse and complex problems, manage multiple workstreams at once, and work in a dynamic, fast-paced plant environment. This role directly impacts reliability, safety, and uptime at the Southaven and Memphis sites. You will keep generation online, keep maintenance disciplined and cost-effective, and build a technician team that can respond to trips, outages, and commissioning without losing the day-to-day plant.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Lead a team of plant technicians, process technicians, and electrical technicians responsible for inspections, testing, operations, maintenance, and repair of power generation systems, including gas turbines and generators, balance-of-plant, fuel gas and process/fluid systems, water and compressed/instrument air, HVAC and cooling, and plant electrical systems up to 13.5 kV / 34.5 kV

Schedule daily work, prioritize assignments, and balance planned maintenance against real-time plant needs, alarms, trips, and outages

Direct switching, isolation, LOTO, start-up, shutdown, and restoration activities so electrical, mechanical, and process work is coordinated and safe

Own work execution quality: procedures, work orders, as-found/as-left records, and close-out in the CMMS

Know and enforce SpaceXAI safety procedures, including LOTO, NFPA 70E / arc-flash, confined space, and hot work; stop work when conditions are unsafe and escalate uncorrected hazards

Support plant start-ups, shutdowns, commissioning, and outages alongside engineering, operations, and contractors

Coordinate with engineering, operators, and utility personnel on clearances, switching, and work that affects generation

Oversee vendors and contractors supporting the plant; keep work competitive, safe, and on schedule, and coordinate with buyers and accounts payable as needed

Communicate with the Manager on daily activities, plant status, team performance, and issues requiring escalation

Drive overall technician performance and effectiveness through coaching, development, and clear standards

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

High school diploma or equivalency certificate

3+ years of hands on experience working in a power plant, generating station, or other high-reliability industrial facility

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in a technical, construction, or engineering field, or equivalent experience

Hands-on background in one or more of: gas turbine / plant operations, process or fluid systems (fuel gas, water, compressed air), or medium-voltage electrical operations and maintenance

Experience leading a mixed-discipline operations and maintenance team (mechanical, process, and electrical)

Ability to read P&IDs, single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, and equipment O&M manual

Experience with LOTO, switching procedures, and NFPA 70E / arc-flash practices

Experience using a CMMS or work-order system to plan, schedule, and close maintenance work

Proficiency in Microsoft applications such as Excel, Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint

Experience managing budgets, third-party vendors, and contractor work

High attention to detail, documentation, and plant housekeeping standards

Ability to work independently with little direction and to meet deadlines in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment

Ability to anticipate plant needs and develop practical solutions for reliability and continuous improvement

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Willingness to perform hands-on work in all environments (heat, cold, rain), in tight quarters or at heights

Ability to work extended hours, nights, weekends, and on-call schedules to support plant operations

Remain focused while working in hazardous environments, while wearing appropriate PPE

Must be able to lift up to 25 lbs unassisted

Lifting, standing, climbing, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, stretching, and carrying are generally required to perform the functions of this position

Must be able to work on-site at the power generation facility, with potential travel to other SpaceXAI sites
