At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!  

This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.

We are a team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

As part of a and passionate team, you will be responsible for bridging long-range strategic infrastructure planning with tactical execution across our launch and test facilities. This hybrid role spans the full project lifecycle, from anticipating future company needs and identifying candidate sites, to master planning, design management, and construction delivery. You will work proactively across business units to stay ahead of infrastructure demand, translating future operational requirements into actionable site concepts that account for utilities, civil site development, environmental compliance, and hazardous operations clearances. Your work will shape where and how Blue Origin launches and tests for years to come.

Responsibilities:

• Proactively identify and evaluate future launch and test site locations by analyzing projected company growth, vehicle system roadmaps, and operational needs, ensuring infrastructure capacity is developed ahead of demand rather than in reaction to it.
• Develop conceptual site layouts, master plans, and rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimates that holistically address utilities infrastructure, environmental constraints, and hazardous operations safety clearances to support strategic corporate initiatives.
• Collaborate with launch vehicle system architects and internal business units to define and analyze infrastructure requirements on near-, short-, and long-term horizons, translating those needs into actionable planning documents.
• Support strategic program planning and impact assessments encompassing environmental review, civil site development, land use, and operational suitability analysis for candidate sites.
• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders on environmental regulatory planning and compliance, including NEPA assessments, Environmental Baseline Surveys, and permitting with state and federal agencies.
• Serve as an interface between internal stakeholders (mission operations, fluids, command & control) and external partners (A&E firms, construction contractors, and government agencies such as Space Force and FAA).
• Manage the full lifecycle of design and construction projects as the Blue Owner, from developing statements of work (SOW) to overseeing contractors, managing change orders, and ensuring projects are delivered on schedule and within budget.
• Review and approve design documents, construction RFIs, and submittals to ensure conformance with design intent and project requirements.
• Identify, document, and mitigate project risks and opportunities, communicating potential impacts to budget and schedule.
• Maintain excellent verbal, written, and graphical communication with stakeholders, including the ability to articulate complex technical and strategic concepts to both executive leadership and field-level teams.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related discipline
• 8+ years of relevant experience in engineering or project management
• 3+ years of relevant launch infrastructure, test facility, or land development experience
• Experience working with State and/or Federal Agencies (e.g., Space Florida, FAA, NASA, DoD/Space Force) on permitting, land use, and development
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate sites for infrastructure feasibility, including utilities, access, and operational safety clearances
• Ability to understand technical plans, drawings, specifications, and modeling applications
• Experience with project scoping, budgeting, and scheduling from both a day-to-day and overall construction management perspective
• Familiar with standard construction procedures, best practices, means & methods, and work safety standards
• Demonstrated ability to manage technically complex projects from concept through completion using independent judgment and personal initiative
• Excellent verbal, written, and graphical communication skills
• Motivated self-starter with strong organizational skills, capable of managing multiple concurrent projects

Desired:

• Extensive experience with infrastructure requirements for space launch and/or test vehicle systems, including ground support equipment, site civil, structural, and support facilities
• Experience identifying, assessing, and developing greenfield launch or test site locations
• Familiarity with hazardous operations siting requirements, explosive safety quantity-distance (ESQD) arcs, and operational safety clearance planning
• Familiarity with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) commercial launch site regulations
• Familiarity with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations
• Experience with CAD and 3D modeling software
• Professional design engineering experience (PE license a plus)
