Construction Superintendent - Fabrication (Starbase)

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT – FABRICATION (STARBASE)

As a construction superintendent focused on fluids piping, tubing, and instrumentation integration at Starbase, you will own the day-to-day execution of field fabrication for fluid systems, and infrastructure projects. This role directs contractors, plans and sequences fluids integration of launch propellant systems, and delivers high-quality, safe, and efficient installations in a fast-paced test and operations environment.

• Own day-to-day execution of fluids fabrication projects on site

• Lead site logistics and operations for fabrication projects, including scheduling, progress tracking, quality control, and resource allocation

• Manage SpaceX construction asset material deliveries, storage, and site cleanliness to support fabrication activities

• Maintain construction barricades and the site stormwater pollution prevention plan for fabrication work areas

• Perform daily field coordination, conflict resolution, and schedule management for fabrication contractors and internal teams

• Oversee procurement and execution of fabrication construction projects

• Develop cost estimates, solicit bids, award contracts, and manage budget, schedule, and scope for fabrication packages

• Track progress, provide daily updates, and coordinate with end users and facilities teams on build scopes

• Manage night shift fabrication contractors as required

• Directly supervise tubers and fitters, set daily priorities, and drive productivity and accountability

• Plan and sequence fabrication work to align with the project schedule and operational constraints

• Identify and resolve blockers early for fabrication scopes, including material access and engineering issues

• Serve as the primary point of contact for all fabrication activities between contractors, engineering, and SpaceX teams

• Resolve field issues in real time for fabrication scopes, including fit-up interferences and design gaps

• Ensure all tubing, fit-ups, and installations meet SpaceX quality standards

• Review drawings, isometric diagrams, and field changes for fabrication constructability

• Manage contractor badging and security access for fabrication personnel

• Proactively adjust fabrication operations to meet deadlines and escalate issues to engineering and project management as needed

• Assist with hands-on skilled trade work on fabrication scopes when required (approximately 10% of the time)

• High school diploma or equivalency certificate

• 3+ years of professional experience in the construction or aerospace industries, with experience leading or coordinating a labor force

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with a construction trade skill

• Fabrication experience on large-scale industrial or aerospace projects

• Experience estimating labor hours and managing budgets for welding scopes

• Strong field experience managing tubing contractors, fitters, and multi-disciplinary crews in fast-paced technical environments

• Ability to read and interpret piping and instrumentation diagrams, isometric drawings, fabrication drawings, and redlines

• Experience with fit-up, system tie-ins, modifications, and resolving constructability issues in the field

• Solid understanding of tubing quality requirements, visual inspection, and
