Construction Superintendent, Power Generation - Memphis

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Oversee and coordinate mechanical installations including gas turbine and generator auxiliaries, fuel gas piping, process and BOP piping, pumps, heat exchangers, compressed/instrument air, water and cooling systems, plant HVAC, and fire protection
• Manage and schedule on-site crews to deliver project milestones on time and to SpaceXSI's quality and reliability standards
• Ensure crew adhere to mechanical scope, delivering high-integrity process and BOP systems critical to generation, start-up, and plant uptime
• Monitor daily progress of construction, maintaining detailed logs, red-line drawings, and as-built documentation for all plant mechanical infrastructure
• Develop and enforce aggressive construction schedules while keeping the project on time and within budget
• Champion and enforce SpaceXSI's safety program, building a zero-incident culture across all teams working around heavy mechanical equipment, pressurized systems, fuel gas, and elevated work
• Supervise foremen and mechanical crews, fostering teamwork and accountability in a high-stakes generating-plant environment
• Proactively resolve on-site challenges — material delays, technical conflicts, sequencing issues, and coordination with electrical, civil, and process trades — with a strong focus on mechanical system reliability and code compliance
• Conduct regular site inspections to verify compliance with local regulations, mechanical codes, safety protocols, and SpaceXSI's quality standards
• Prepare and present clear progress reports, mechanical construction metrics, and risk updates to senior leadership
• Support mechanical completion, flushing, hydrotest, first fire, commissioning, and turnover to operations

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years managing construction teams on industrial, power generation, or mechanical projects
• 3+ years of direct hands-on experience in mechanical or electrical installations including process piping, pumps, heat exchangers, and plant mechanical systems
• High school diploma or equivalency certificate

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Postsecondary diploma or degree in construction management, mechanical engineering, or related field
• Proven track record supervising mechanical construction for gas turbine plants, generating stations, or similar industrial facilities
• Familiarity with Memphis-area building codes, mechanical regulations (IMC, ASME, NFPA), and industrial / plant permitting
• Experience with construction management software (Procore, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, MS Project, etc.) on complex infrastructure projects
• Deep knowledge of mechanical construction critical paths, sequencing, and coordination with electrical, civil, and process trades through commissioning and start-up
• Strong understanding of power plant mechanical systems, including fuel gas, lube oil, compressed/instrument air, cooling water, and BOP piping designed for continuous generation
• Demonstrated ability to lead diverse crews under tight deadlines while maintaining collaboration and safety
• Expert-level commitment to mechanical safety (pressure systems, fuel gas, LOTO, confined space) and history of building strong safety cultures on regulated sites
• Excellent problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills for technically complex mechanical scenarios
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Teams, Project) for reporting and scheduling

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Ability to relocate within the US depending on construction location(s)
• Subject to pre-employment drug screening and random drug and alcohol testing
• Subject to pre-employment and annual post-employment background checks
• Comfortable working in industrial environments with exposure to noise, heavy equipment, excavations, and mechanical systems
• Available for evenings and weekends as site operational needs dictate
• Ability to lift 25+ lbs and perform physically demanding tasks in outdoor/tight conditions
• This is a full-time, onsite role based in Southaven, MS
