About the Job

Requirements

At least 8 years of construction field leadership on industrial, manufacturing, mission-critical, or semiconductor projects, including at least 4 years as a superintendent or equivalent general foreman/area superintendent owning multi-trade work.
Proven ownership of MEP-dense or technically complex packages, including congested mechanical, electrical, process, or clean environments where sequencing and quality matter; CSA shell work alone is insufficient.
Experience managing installation, quality, and commissioning for several plumbing and process scopes, including mechanical equipment installation, general exhaust air duct, acid/ammonia exhaust duct, and VOC duct.
Experience on at least one of the following: semiconductor fab/ATMP; pharmaceutical/high-purity manufacturing; data center or other mission-critical MEP; or heavy industrial process such as chemical, battery, or refinery.
Ability to read construction documents at superintendent level, including architectural/structural documents, MEP, P&IDs, single-lines, specifications, and coordination models, and identify clashes or missing details before installation.
Demonstrated record of keeping contractors on schedule without sacrificing safety or installation quality, including recovering a slipping area and explaining how.
Comfort working in a live industrial environment with LOTO, permits, outages, and adjacent operating systems and trades.

Responsibilities

Own day-to-day construction for the assigned area or package, including planning, crew loading, workforce, logistics, and constraints.
Run daily and weekly look-aheads, make the three-week plan actionable, protect the critical path, and identify float burn early.
Direct multiple contractors and trades in a congested, multi-front environment and resolve stack-up, access, and trade-on-trade conflicts in the field as they arise.
Represent Tesla in the field by ensuring contractors follow the plan and Tesla specifications rather than default means and methods that conflict with the design or factory.
Coordinate with Factory, Facilities, EHS, Security, and adjacent construction areas on outages, crane picks, road closures, and live-system tie-ins.

Job Description

As a Superintendent on the Research Fabrication Chip Project at Giga Texas, you will help lead a complex, large-scale construction project. You will own a defined area or major package in the field. You run the daily plan, hold contractors to the Tesla standard, protect safety and cleanliness, and drive work from installation through turnover. You are the person who makes the drawing buildable, the sequence real, and the date hold. We are hiring people who have already run technically heavy work: semiconductor or similar high-purity manufacturing, mission-critical facilities, or industrial projects where MEP, process systems, and construction quality determine whether the factory can start up.

Job Responsibilities

Own day-to-day construction for your assigned area or package: plan, crew loading, workforce, logistics, and constraints
Run the daily and weekly look-ahead. Make the three-week plan real. Protect the critical path and call out float burn early
Direct multiple contractors and trades in a congested, multi-front environment. Resolve stack-up, access, and trade-on-trade conflicts in the field the same day they appear
Be the Tesla voice on the deck. Contractors work to your plan and Tesla specs — not to their own default means and methods when those conflict with the design or the factory
Coordinate with Factory, Facilities, EHS, Security, and adjacent construction areas on outages, crane picks, road closures, and live-system tie-ins

Job Requirements

8+ years of construction field leadership on industrial, manufacturing, mission-critical, or semiconductor projects, including 4+ years as a superintendent (or equivalent: general foreman / area superintendent owning multi-trade work)
Proven ownership of MEP-dense or technically complex packages — not just CSA shell work. You have run congested mechanical, electrical, process, or clean environments where sequence and quality actually matter
Experience managing installation, quality, commissioning of several plumbing and process scopes – mechanical equipment installation, general exhaust air duct, acid/ammonia exhaust duct, VOC duct
Experience on at least one of: semiconductor fab / ATMP; pharmaceutical / high-purity manufacturing; data center or other mission-critical MEP; heavy industrial process (chemical, battery, refinery, similar)
Ability to read construction documents at a superintendent level: architectural / structural, MEP, P&IDs, single-lines, specs, and coordination models. You catch clashes and missing details before they are installed
Demonstrated record of running contractors to a schedule without sacrificing safety or install quality. You have recovered a slipping area and can explain how
Comfort in a live industrial environment: LOTO, permits, outages, and working adjacent to operating systems and other trades

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.
