The Boring Company is seeking a VP of Operations to lead all construction operations for the Music City Loop project in Nashville, TN—a first-of-its-kind underground transportation system connecting downtown Nashville to the airport and other key destinations.
In this role, you will oversee end-to-end construction operations across tunneling projects, including station construction, buildout, and supporting infrastructure. You will manage the supply chain, trucking, assets, and logistics to maintain continuous material flow and equipment availability for high-tempo field operations. You will direct welding, fabrication, and specialty trade activities critical to tunnel segments and stations, and build and manage multi-disciplinary construction teams while enforcing operational discipline in a fast-paced underground and surface environment.
Key responsibilities include identifying and reacting to technical and operational issues on-site with rapid mitigation strategies, working with civil servants, elected officials, and contractors across local, state, and federal governing bodies to ensure compliance, identifying weak points in systems and processes and executing corrective actions, and collaborating closely with architectural and engineering teams on designs and features as the site scales. You will strategically stay ahead of an evolving site with appropriate operational and technological changes, and make determinations on the best internal and outsourced approaches for technical and construction work.
The position may require extended hours and weekend work. You will serve as the on-the-ground point of contact for a multi-function site.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 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:
- Experience managing both operational and construction teams simultaneously
- Comfortable serving as the on-the-ground point of contact for a multi-function site
