Salary: $125,000 - $175,000 per year
A bit about us:
We are developing the world’s largest next-generation private power grid to support the future of artificial intelligence. As hyperscale AI demand rapidly outpaces the capabilities of the legacy grid, we are pioneering a behind-the-meter HyperGrid™ delivering highly redundant, utility-scale power at unprecedented speed and scale.
Our one of kind development near Amarillo, Texas will exceed 12 GW of generation capacity, including 6 GW of natural gas and 6 GW of nuclear, supporting more than 15 million square feet of high-density data center infrastructure. This is not incremental infrastructure. It is sovereign-scale power development.
Why join us?
We are hiring a Mechanical Engineer to support on-site execution for gas-fired power plant construction. This role is part of a small on-site engineering team responsible for reviewing designs, identifying improvements, ensuring what’s being built makes sense, and overseeing field progress.
This is not a desk-only design role—we need practical mechanical engineers with strong field experience who can troubleshoot real issues, challenge incorrect assumptions, and keep work moving safely and efficiently. Nuclear experience is a plus, but the top priority is deep mechanical construction experience.
Incredible benefits package, strong bonus, growth opportunity!
Unmatched Scale: Work on a nationally significant, multi-gigawatt power and infrastructure program unlike anything else in development today.
Speed and Precision: We value technical rigor, decisiveness, and execution velocity over bureaucracy.
