    Job description

    The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an
    underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling
    speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop
    adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.
    Nashville is home to the Music City Loop, a first of its kind transportation system, connecting
    downtown Nashville to the airport and other points of interest in Music city. We are looking for an
    operational leader to oversee all construction operations, ensuring the site runs safely,
    efficiently, and in lockstep with company goals.
    Responsibilities
    ● Lead end-to-end construction operations across tunneling projects, including station
    construction, buildout, and supporting infrastructure.
    ● Oversee supply chain, trucking/assets, and logistics to maintain continuous material flow
    and equipment availability for high-tempo field operations.
    ● Direct welding, fabrication, and specialty trade activities critical to tunnel segments,
    stations, and related structures
    ● Build and manage multi-disciplinary construction teams, enforcing operational discipline
    in a fast-paced underground and surface environment.
    ● Identify and react to technical and operational issues on-site, quickly coming up with
    mitigating actions.
    ● Work with civil servants, elected officials, and contractors in local, state, and federal
    governing bodies, ensuring technology, operations, and construction are up to code.
    ● Identify weak points across systems and processes, then propose and execute
    corrective actions.
    ● Work closely with architectural and engineering teams on needed designs and features,
    delivering actionable requirements as the site scales.
    ● Strategically stay ahead of an evolving and scaling site with appropriate operational and
    technological changes.
    ● Make determinations on the best internal and outsourced approach for technical and
    construction work.
    Basic Qualifications
    ● Bachelor's Degree in Construction, Engineering or relevant field
    ● 10+ years of relevant experience
    ● Experience overseeing operations at a physical site, ideally spanning multiple functions
    (e.g., operations and construction)
    ● Demonstrated ability to learn and adapt to change
    ● Strong attention to detail
    ● Motivated to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
    Preferred Skills and Experience
    ● Experience managing both operational and construction teams simultaneously
    ● Comfortable serving as the on-the-ground point of contact for a multi-function site
    ● Position may require extended hours and weekend work

    About the company

    The Boring Company

    To solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic, roads must go 3D, which means either flying cars or tunnels. Unlike flying cars, tunnels are weatherproof, out of sight and won't fall on your head. A large network of tunnels many levels deep would fix congestion in any city, no matter how large it grew (just keep adding levels). The key to making this work is increasing tunneling speed and dropping costs by a factor of 10 or more – this is the goal of The Boring Company. Fast to dig, low cost tunnels would also make Hyperloop adoption viable and enable rapid transit across densely populated regions, enabling travel from New York to Washington DC in less than 30 minutes.
