Construction Superintendent, Advanced Manufacturing

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.

• 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: design clashes, material gaps, access conflicts, quality holds, utility interfaces, and sequencing issues, before they impact tool install or start-up milestones

• Enforce zero-compromise 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 keep construction aligned 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

• 5+ years of superintendent or senior field supervision experience on major capital projects; manufacturing, semiconductor, solar, battery, or advanced industrial production facility projects considered 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 effectively multiple interfaces

• Proven ability to read drawings and specs, run effective look-ahead planning, and clear workface constraints quickly

• Decisive, field-present leader who sets the pace, communicates clearly, and holds crews accountable for safety, quality, and output

• High energy and extreme ownership: you solve the problem in front of you and keep the factory build moving toward ramp
