Qualifications

Provide technical oversight during project execution, ensuring that earthworks (excavation, grading, trenching) adhere to digital plans, specifications, budget, and schedule. Coordinate on-site activities, including scheduling equipment and labor, to ensure project timelines and efficiency are met. Train, support, and manage operators in the effective use of automated and remote-controlled earth-moving equipment to optimize performance.

About the job

At TerraFirma, we are revolutionizing the way earth is moved in the construction industry. Established by former SpaceX engineers and supported by Bain Capital Ventures, we are bringing automation to construction, making it quicker, more affordable, and safer.


Our Vision & Mission
During our time at SpaceX, we were integral to creating the largest rocket ever built, launching the biggest satellite constellation, and providing connectivity to millions globally. Our key takeaway was that infrastructure is pivotal.

At Starbase, we discovered that the main hurdle to executing Mars missions wasn't the rocket but the slow, costly, and complex nature of developing the necessary infrastructure. The absence of buildings, roads, water, power, communications, and waste management created significant delays and resource constraints.

From a fundamental perspective, this inefficiency is unacceptable. There should be a more streamlined approach to establishing the foundations for progress. This revelation led us to realize that the engineering mindset that propelled space exploration and mass manufacturing could also be applied to infrastructure. By harnessing simplification, iteration, acceleration, and automation in construction, we can usher in a new era of building.

Accelerating infrastructure catalyzes progress in every sector, creating a sustainable mechanism to address humanity's most pressing challenges. The innovations we pursue on Earth are paving the way for technologies that will enable future settlements on Mars.

Position Overview
As a Field Engineer, you will take charge of on-site technical oversight, ensuring the smooth coordination of operations, compliance with project specifications, and the integration of advanced technologies such as automation tools and tele-operations. You will also operate heavy machinery to meet project demands, working closely with operators, estimators, and project managers to achieve outstanding results.
