Code Enforcement Inspector Jobs in Memphis, TN (NOW HIRING)

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will oversee structural contractors and crews building the advanced structural infrastructure for xAI's Memphis Data Center - including deep foundations, concrete slabs, pile systems, structural steel framing, equipment pads, seismic bracing, and heavy support structures that form the backbone of the facility. If you thrive on hands-on leadership, complex structural construction, and contributing to high-impact AI infrastructure, join us to help deliver one of the most advanced data centers in the world.

This is a full-time, onsite role based in Memphis, Tennessee, with relocation required depending on additional construction locations within the US.

• Oversee and coordinate structural installations during night shift hours, including foundations, formwork, rebar placement, concrete pouring and finishing, structural steel erection, embeds, equipment supports, and seismic/wind-resistant systems for xAI Data Centers.
• Manage and schedule structural contractors, subcontractors, and on-site crews to deliver project milestones on time and to xAI's exacting quality and reliability standards.
• Ensure all contractors adhere to structural scope, delivering high-integrity foundations and building frameworks critical to supporting massive electrical and mechanical loads.
• Monitor daily night-shift progress of structural construction, maintaining detailed logs, red-line drawings, and as-built documentation for all structural elements.
• Develop and enforce aggressive construction schedules while keeping the project on time and within budget.
• Champion and enforce xAI's safety program, building a zero-incident culture across all teams working around excavations, heavy rigging, elevated steel erection, and concrete operations during night hours.
• Lead, train, and supervise foremen and structural crews, fostering teamwork and accountability in a high-stakes mission-critical environment.
• Proactively resolve on-site challenges - material delays, technical conflicts, sequencing issues, and coordination with civil, electrical, and mechanical trades - with a strong focus on structural integrity and code compliance.
• Conduct regular night-shift site inspections to verify compliance with local regulations, structural codes, safety protocols, and xAI's stringent quality standards.
• Prepare and present clear progress reports, structural construction metrics, and risk updates to senior leadership.

• 3+ years managing structural construction teams with strong emphasis on large-scale industrial or mission-critical structural projects.
• 3+ years of direct hands-on experience in structural work including foundations, concrete forming/rebar, structural steel erection, and heavy support systems - ideally on data centers, industrial process, or heavy civil projects.
• High school diploma or equivalency certificate.

• Postsecondary diploma or degree in construction management, civil/structural engineering, or related field.
• Proven track record supervising structural construction for data centers, hyperscale facilities, semiconductor plants, or similar mission-critical environments.
• Familiarity with Memphis-area building codes, structural regulations (IBC, ACI, AISC), and industrial permitting.
• Experience with construction management software (Procore, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, MS Project, etc.) on complex infrastructure projects.
• Deep knowledge of structural construction critical paths, sequencing, shoring, and coordination with other trades through commissioning.
• Strong understanding of data center structural specifications, load-bearing requirements, seismic design, and long-term durability for 24/7 operations.
• Demonstrated ability to lead diverse crews under tight deadlines while maintaining collaboration and safety.
• Expert-level commitment to structural safety (fall protection, rigging, excavation safety, concrete operations) and history of building strong safety cultures on regulated sites.
• Excellent problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills for technically complex structural scenarios.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Teams, Project) for reporting and scheduling.

• Subject to pre-employment drug screening and random drug and alcohol testing.
• Subject to pre-employment and annual post-employment background checks.
• Comfortable working in industrial environments with exposure to noise, heavy equipment, excavations, heights, and structural operations.
• Available to work night shift as the primary schedule, with flexibility for evenings and weekends as site operational needs dictate.
• Ability to lift 25+ lbs and perform physically demanding tasks in outdoor/tight conditions.

If you are a hands-on structural construction leader who excels in high-stakes, mission-critical environments and is ready to own the night shift on groundbreaking AI infrastructure, we encourage you to apply.
