ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a Supervisor on the power generation team, you will lead the technicians who operate, maintain, and repair on-site generation that powers SpaceXAI’s high-density AI supercomputing facilities. You will oversee plant technicians, process technicians, and electrical technicians as one operations and maintenance team — covering gas turbine packages, balance-of-plant, process/fluid systems, and plant electrical systems through 34.5 kV.

You will operate with autonomy to solve diverse and complex problems, manage multiple workstreams at once, and work in a dynamic, fast-paced plant environment. This role directly impacts reliability, safety, and uptime at the Southaven and Memphis sites. You will keep generation online, keep maintenance disciplined and cost-effective, and build a technician team that can respond to trips, outages, and commissioning without losing the day-to-day plant.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Lead a team of plant technicians, process technicians, and electrical technicians responsible for inspections, testing, operations, maintenance, and repair of power generation systems, including gas turbines and generators, balance-of-plant, fuel gas and process/fluid systems, water and compressed/instrument air, HVAC and cooling, and plant electrical systems up to 13.5 kV / 34.5 kV

Schedule daily work, prioritize assignments, and balance planned maintenance against real-time plant needs, alarms, trips, and outages

Direct switching, isolation, LOTO, start-up, shutdown, and restoration activities so electrical, mechanical, and process work is coordinated and safe

Own work execution quality: procedures, work orders, as-found/as-left records, and close-out in the CMMS

Know and enforce SpaceXAI safety procedures, including LOTO, NFPA 70E / arc-flash, confined space, and hot work; stop work when conditions are unsafe and escalate uncorrected hazards

Support plant start-ups, shutdowns, commissioning, and outages alongside engineering, operations, and contractors

Coordinate with engineering, operators, and utility personnel on clearances, switching, and work that affects generation

Oversee vendors and contractors supporting the plant; keep work competitive, safe, and on schedule, and coordinate with buyers and accounts payable as needed

Communicate with the Manager on daily activities, plant status, team performance, and issues requiring escalation

Drive overall technician performance and effectiveness through coaching, development, and clear standards

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

High school diploma or equivalency certificate

3+ years of hands on experience working in a power plant, generating station, or other high-reliability industrial facility

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in a technical, construction, or engineering field, or equivalent experience

Hands-on background in one or more of: gas turbine / plant operations, process or fluid systems (fuel gas, water, compressed air), or medium-voltage electrical operations and maintenance

Experience leading a mixed-discipline operations and maintenance team (mechanical, process, and electrical)

Ability to read P&IDs, single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, and …
