Critical Lift Supervisor - Night Shift

The Critical Lift Supervisor is responsible for leading a team of Technicians for Starship and Super Heavy vehicles.

The Supervisor of the team will take technical direction from the engineering team and turn it into reality by building, retaining, and managing their team effectively; distributing labor resources, prioritizing certain aspects of the build, and setting headcount requirements where necessary.
