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.
Responsibilities
- Help build safe work plans that maintain project schedules.
- Ensure guidance systems are maintained and accurate using survey equipment and guidance software such as TACS.
- Helping to design and improve tunneling/construction processes for better efficiencies including logistics, sequences, etc.
- Coordinate job walks for pricing, work, schedules, material deliveries, or inspections with vendors, contractors, and building officials.
- Track and maintain inventories of consumables for tunnel construction.
- Design parts, pieces, and systems to solve issues found in the field using SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD.
- Coordinate and collaborate with mechanical engineering team for improved design.
- Overall quality control of construction practices including grout and pre-cast concrete tunnel liner segments.
- Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly reports documenting progress or challenges on any given project.
- Troubleshoot tunnel boring machine issues as they arise.
- Collect soil samples.
- Other duties as required.
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or similar field.
- 2+ years of experience in an active construction environment.
Preferred Skills and Qualifications

What We Do
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.
