Job Description

We’re looking for a hands-on Welding Supervisor to lead a high-performing team building next-generation, proprietary Tunnel Boring Machines. This role sits at the center of fabrication, quality, and execution, owning weld operations from early-stage assembly through full-scale machine build and field deployment. If you thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments and want to help deliver massive infrastructure systems from the ground up, this is your opportunity.
What You’ll Do
  • Lead welding operations for large-scale structural assemblies and complex machine builds
  • Drive production throughput while maintaining exceptional weld quality and consistency
  • Partner closely with engineering to translate designs into executable fabrication plans
  • Oversee machine assembly, modification, repair, and installation across shop and field environments
  • Establish and enforce welding standards, procedures, and quality controls
  • Build, mentor, and scale a team of welders, setting expectations and elevating performance
  • Plan and prioritize work across shifting production needs to meet aggressive timelines
  • Play a key role in hiring, evaluating, and developing top welding talent
Basic Qualifications
  • 5+ years of professional experience welding steel in a production or heavy fabrication environment
  • 2+ years leading teams in a manufacturing, construction, or industrial setting
Preferred Experience
  • Experience leading teams in high-output fabrication environments with 10 or more welders
  • Strong ability to interpret engineering drawings, weld callouts, and fabrication specifications
  • Background in precision machining and fabrication with the ability to hold tight tolerances
  • Familiarity with non-destructive evaluation methods and weld inspection standards
  • Experience working across both shop fabrication and field execution environments
Additional Requirements
  • Comfortable working in physically demanding environments, including confined spaces and at elevation
  • Willingness to work extended hours or travel as needed to support build and deployment schedules

About The Boring Company

To solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic, roads must go 3D, which means either flying cars or tunnels. Unlike flying cars, tunnels are weatherproof, out of sight and won't fall on your head. A large network of tunnels many levels deep would fix congestion in any city, no matter how large it grew (just keep adding levels). The key to making this work is increasing tunneling speed and dropping costs by a factor of 10 or more – this is the goal of The Boring Company. Fast to dig, low cost tunnels would also make Hyperloop adoption viable and enable rapid transit across densely populated regions, enabling travel from New York to Washington DC in less than 30 minutes.
