## About the role

You'll be directly responsible for the rapid and innovative build-out of Boom's physical infrastructure, including building engine and airplane Superfactories and test sites. At most companies, this is called a facilities job and you hire a bunch of outsourced real estate and construction contractors. It's a low-status non-strategic role. Everything costs a ton and progresses glacially.

## What they're looking for

- Own the full lifecycle of site acquisition, permitting, design, and construction for factories, test sites, and future campuses. If it gets built, you own it
- Define the site strategy — what gets built where, in what order, and to what specification — and drive alignment with program and leadership
- Challenge requirements before executing them. If a program constraint is creating an infrastructure bottleneck, you surface it and propose alternatives. Nothing is sacred
- Manage GCs, subcontractors, and construction vendors — and evaluate on a rolling basis whether key capabilities should stay external, move in-house, or be acquired outright
- Own utility strategy: power substations, natural gas, water, data. If the utility doesn't exist, evaluate whether Boom should build it
- Navigate local politics, permitting, and regulatory relationships as a first-person owner — not a delegator. County commissioners, planning departments, utility providers. You clear the path
