About the Job

Requirements

At least 5 years of superintendent or senior field supervision experience on major capital projects; experience on manufacturing, semiconductor, solar, battery, or advanced industrial production facility projects is an asset.
Demonstrated ability to lead large craft and/or contractor crews and sustain production under aggressive delivery schedules in a manufacturing construction environment.
Strong working knowledge of manufacturing construction methods in one or more core disciplines: civil/structural, mechanical/piping, electrical/instrumentation/controls, or process/tool install, with the ability to coordinate multiple interfaces effectively.
Ability to read drawings and specifications, run effective look-ahead planning, and clear workface constraints quickly.
Field-present leadership with the ability to set the pace, communicate clearly, and hold crews accountable for safety, quality, and output.

Responsibilities

Own day-to-day field supervision for an assigned discipline or manufacturing area, directing craft and contractor crews from workfront release through installation, inspection, and completion.
Drive crew productivity and work packaging execution, ensuring labor, materials, equipment, and information are ready at the workface before production starts.
Identify and remove constraints in real time, including design clashes, material gaps, access conflicts, quality holds, utility interfaces, and sequencing issues, before they affect tool-install or start-up milestones.
Enforce safety and quality standards appropriate to manufacturing facility construction, including controlled environments and process utility interfaces where applicable.
Coordinate across adjacent disciplines and area teams to sequence work, protect interfaces, and align construction with manufacturing readiness and commissioning priorities.
Partner with Construction Project Managers, Field Engineers, Quality, and Procurement to maintain accurate look-ahead plans, progress reporting, and recovery actions when output slips.
Lead and develop foremen and craft leadership, building accountability, urgency, and consistent execution across shifts and workfronts.

Desired Qualifications

Experience on manufacturing, semiconductor, solar, battery, or advanced industrial production facility projects.

Job Description

As a Superintendent on Tesla’s construction team in the Greater Houston Area, you will own day-to-day field execution in an advanced solar manufacturing facility build. You will lead craft and contractors in your assigned discipline or area, driving productivity, clearing constraints, and holding the line on safety, quality, and schedule from workface planning through completion. Whether your background is civil, structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, controls, or process/tool install construction, you will be the on-the-ground leader who turns the plan into installed, production-ready work. If you lead from the field, solve problems in real time, and refuse to let construction stall manufacturing ramp, this role was built for you.

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
