What to Expect Tesla is revolutionizing the world's energy and transportation systems throughcutting-edgeinfrastructure. As a Construction Performance & Metrics Engineer (Benchmarking), you will play a pivotal role inestablishing, validating, andoptimizingconstruction performance standards across infrastructure projects. You will define measurable benchmarks for construction efficiency,quantities,hours, andcosts-enabling data-driven decision-making, continuous improvement, and scalability across Tesla's rapidly expanding footprint. This role sits at the intersection ofconstruction/industrial, data analytics, and process engineering. You will work closely with project managers,designengineers,self-perform, and cross-functional teams to standardize performance metrics,identifyinefficiencies, and drivecost savingsin construction execution. What You'll Do Define and Implement Construction Benchmarks:Establishkey quantityinput and outputmetricsfor construction phases (e.g.,predevelopment, development, active, closeout) across different project types (Gigafactories, Megapack sites, Supercharger hubs) Data Collection & Validation: Design and deploy systems to collect real-time construction data (labor hours, material, scheduleof values,quantities,unitrates) from field teams and integrated project management tools Performance Analysis & Reporting: Analyze construction performance data usingAImodelsanddatavisualization tools. Generate actionable insights and reports for leadership, highlighting trends, outliers, andimprovementopportunities Benchmark Calibration: Continuously refine benchmarks based on project outcomes, technological advancements (e.g., modular construction, robotics), and regional variables (labor markets, supply chains, regulations) Cross-Project Benchmarking: Compare performance across multiple sites and projects toidentifybest practices and systemic inefficiencies. Promote knowledge sharing and standardization Collaborate with Engineering & Operations: Partner with design, procurement, and operations teams to align construction benchmarks with design intent, manufacturing requirements, and long-term asset performance Support Digital Tools Development: Work with software engineers to integrate benchmarking logic into Tesla's internal construction management platforms (e.g.,Projectmanagement, HoursTracking, BIM tools) Drive Continuous Improvement: Lead pilot initiatives to test new construction methods or technologies, measuring their impact against established benchmarks What You'll Bring Bachelor's Degreein Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Industrial Engineering, ora relatedtechnical field, or the equivalent in experience 5+ years in construction engineering, project controls, or performance benchmarking within large-scale industrial or infrastructure projects (preferably in manufacturing, energy, or heavy civil) Proficiencyin data analysis (Python, SQL, Excel Advanced), statistical modeling, anddatavisualization (Power BI) Experience withcontractual constructionrequirements (Schedule of Values,T&M, Lum Sump) Familiarity with BIM (Building Information Modeling) and digital twin concepts is a plus Proventrack recordinestablishingperformance metrics or KPIs in construction environments Ability to distill complex field data into clear, actionable insights Strong written and verbal communication skills to present findings to technical and executive audiences Experience working in high-speed, high-precision manufacturing or energy infrastructure environments (e.g.,Energy,Cell Manufacturing, Refineries) is a plus Compensation and Benefits Benefits Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire: Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deduction Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution Company Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSA Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) 401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits Company paid Basic Life, AD&D Short-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period) Employee Assistance Program Sick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid Holidays Back-up childcare and parenting support resources Voluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance Weight Loss and Tobacco Cessation Programs Tesla Babies program Commuter benefits Employee discounts and perks program Expected Compensation $96,000 - $210,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements dependent on the position offered. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment.
