Machine Wiring & Panel Builder at The Boring Company in Bastrop, TX

The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.

As an Electrical Control Panel Builder, you will build the electrical systems that power and control our tunnel boring machines and supporting equipment. You will work directly from engineering designs to transform electrical components, wire, and enclosures into reliable control systems used in some of the most advanced tunneling machines in the world. This is a hands-on opportunity to directly contribute to hardware that is changing the future of transportation and infrastructure.
