We are looking for a Project Coordinator to take the Optimus plan and make it real on the floor. The program is written. Your job is to run it on site - setup, handoffs, materials, space, and closeout - so collection and launch work actually starts on time. You are in the field with operators and program teams, not behind a dashboard. You hold the day-to-day plan, keep owners and blockers visible, and escalate the same day when something breaks. You will carry several workstreams at once. The bar does not move: safety, quality, and timing stay intact. This is hands-on, fast-paced work. It fits someone who follows a plan, improvises when the field does not match it, and keeps status honest.
This role will require to work at least one day over the weekend (e.g. Tuesday-Saturday, Sunday-Thursday).
- Execute the day-to-day plan at your site: setup, handoffs, checklists, and closeout
- Be in the field with operators and program teams so the plan is actually happening, not just tracked
- Track tasks, owners, and blockers; escalate the same day
- Coordinate people, materials, space, and timing so collection and launch work starts on time
- Capture what broke on the floor and feed it back so the plan gets tighter
- Support multiple workstreams without dropping the bar on safety, quality, and timing
- Experience coordinating projects or operations on the floor, in the field, or at a site - not only from a desk
- Ability to follow a plan, hold a schedule, and improvise when the field does not match the plan
- Strong organization, follow-through, and calm communication under time pressure
- Comfort working with operators, engineers, and program leads in a fast-paced environment
- Willingness to work a Tuesday-Saturday or Sunday-Thursday, 9:00am-5:00pm shift
- Enthusiasm for Optimus and Tesla's mission
