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.

We're looking for a TBM Superintendent to lead tunneling machine operations on our project in Dubai. This is a senior field leadership role with full ownership of safety, production, and crew performance across all shifts — from the heading to the shaft to the surface. You'll direct foremen and crews, align engineering, maintenance, and logistics around a single production plan, and keep the machine mining while staying ready to adapt to the unexpected underground.

Responsibilities:

Direct all TBM tunneling operations across shifts, including excavation, ground support, utilities, conveyor/muck handling, and underground logistics
Own the full production system: segment/material supply, spoil removal, shaft operations, and surface support required to sustain continuous mining
Develop and execute shift plans, production targets, and lookahead schedules in coordination with project management and engineering
Lead, mentor, and evaluate foremen and crews; build crew capability and ensure clear shift-to-shift handoffs
Own safety performance underground: enforce safety standards, SOPs, and engineering requirements, and lead incident prevention, investigation, and corrective actions
Coordinate TBM advance, maintenance windows, and interventions with operators, mechanics, and electricians to maximize machine availability
Anticipate and resolve mechanical, electrical, and ground condition issues affecting production; escalate risks early with proposed solutions
Manage crew scheduling, staffing, and material planning; provide input on production costs, resource needs, and schedule forecasts
Track and report production metrics, downtime, and progress to project leadership, and drive continuous improvement in advance rates

Qualifications:

8+ years of underground tunneling or mining experience, including significant time on TBM projects
Prior experience as a Superintendent, Lead, or senior Foreman leading multiple crews on TBM operations
Deep working knowledge of TBM systems, ground support, ventilation, dewatering, and underground logistics
Proven track record of delivering production safely under demanding schedules
Strong leadership, communication, and decision-making skills under pressure
Comfortable working in confined spaces, around heavy equipment, and supporting 24/7 rotating shift operations
Willingness to relocate to and work in Dubai, UAE; international project experience preferred

Culture

We're a team of dedicated, smart, and scrappy people. Our employees are passionate about our mission and determined to innovate at every opportunity.

We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package for all permanent Dubai based employees.
