Job description
ABOUT xAI xAI’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. ABOUT THE ROLE: You will oversee teams and contractors building critical power generation infrastructure — including concrete foundations, structural pours, underground electrical conduits/piping, turbine and generator supports, process equipment foundations, cooling systems, and related utilities — in a fast-moving, mission-critical environment. If you thrive on hands-on leadership during night shifts, complex industrial construction, and contributing to the power backbone for advanced AI infrastructure, join us to help build one of the most impactful power projects supporting the world's largest AI training systems. RESPONSIBILITIES: Oversee and coordinate concrete pouring, forming, finishing, and underground utility installations (electrical conduits, piping, manifolds, grounding systems, and process infrastructure) to meet the exacting specifications of a large-scale power generation facility, including gas turbine or combined-cycle plant components. Manage and schedule contractors, subcontractors, and on-site night shift crews to deliver project milestones for xAI’s power plant on time and to xAI’s stringent quality and safety standards. Ensure all contractors adhere to scope, delivering high-integrity concrete structures, underground electrical and utility systems, and equipment foundations critical to power generation, transmission support, and auxiliary systems. Monitor daily (night) progress of power plant construction, maintaining detailed logs, plot plans, and as-built documentation for foundations, piping/conduit networks, structural supports, and related infrastructure. Develop and enforce aggressive construction schedules while helping keep the multi-million-dollar power project on time and within budget in a high-velocity environment. Champion and enforce xAI’s safety program, building a zero-incident culture across employees, contractors, and subcontractors working around heavy process equipment, excavations, high-voltage areas, and industrial power systems during night operations. Lead, train, and supervise foremen and crews on the night shift, fostering teamwork, accountability, and effective communication in a high-stakes industrial power project. Proactively resolve on-site challenges — material delays, technical conflicts in underground electrical/process systems, sequencing issues, or night-shift coordination — with a focus on power plant reliability and uptime. Conduct regular site inspections to verify compliance with local regulations, environmental permits, safety protocols (especially for night work and heavy equipment),
