ABOUT THE ROLE: SpaceXAI is building and operating one of the world’s most demanding AI training campuses in Memphis, including Colossus and site facilities that support it.

Manage the work ticketing system to ensure correct staffing and timely response to break/fix requests. Manage third-party service providers to ensure services meet corporate standards and terms of contract. Partner with the construction team to develop, plan, and execute site improvement projects in accordance with overall business objectives and strategy. Administer an effective and efficient preventive maintenance and break/fix program for the assigned buildings and grounds. Develop and implement on-call after-hours support for facility troubleshooting and emergency repairs (leaks, HVAC, electrical, and related building issues). Coach, develop, and hold technicians accountable to safety, quality, and response-time standards. Keep maintenance costs low, vendors competitive, and the appearance and function of assigned buildings at a standard that matches the site. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor’s degree in an engineering, business, or supply chain discipline. 5+ years of professional experience with facilities engineering or project management. PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Proficiency in Microsoft applications such as Excel, Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint. Experience managing budgets. Experience managing third-party vendors.
