SpaceX is hiring in Louisiana. <\/p>\n

Just weeks after the historic announcement of a $100 billion launching pad in Louisiana, the aerospace company headed by Elon Musk issued its first job posting. <\/p>\n

The company is looking for an external affairs manager. According to the posting<\/a>, the person will lead civic engagement and build relationships with local government, lawmakers and regulators. <\/p>\n

The job requires applicants to live “in or near Vermilion Parish.” <\/p>\n

According to a news release issued by SpaceX, the company is expected to create 3,000 direct new jobs over the next 10 years<\/a>, paying an average annual salary of $92,600, 192% above the Vermilion Parish average wage. Louisiana Economic Development estimates the project will generate more than 8,100 indirect new jobs to more than 11,100 new job opportunities in Acadiana.<\/p>\n

The site in Pecan Island will become a fully reusable launch system. Over the coming years, SpaceX aims to make Starship operational at scale, transforming how humanity accesses space and supporting national priorities like building a base on the Moon and the eventual human exploration and settlement of Mars, according to a statement issued by the company.<\/p>\n

The company says Vermilion Parish will become the company’s fourth and largest launch site, playing a key role in ramping up Starship missions.<\/p>\n

Construction is expected to begin in 2027 with the first launch targeted for as soon as 2029.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SpaceX launches job postings in Louisiana SpaceX is hiring in Pecan Island, at the site of their newly…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1051923,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[24],"tags":[24803,68979,2563,31006,421306,66,421308,27792,355,421307,420,20010,2650,353,319880,100446,159,10495,783,2527,14884,67,132,68,319566,421305,1628],"class_list":["post-1051922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-aerospace","tag-aerospace-company","tag-career","tag-civic-engagement","tag-direct-new-job","tag-elon-musk","tag-eventual-human-exploration","tag-humanity","tag-jeff-landry","tag-job-post","tag-jobs","tag-lawmaker","tag-local-government","tag-louisiana","tag-pecan-island","tag-regulator","tag-science","tag-settlement","tag-space","tag-spacex","tag-starship","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-vermilion-parish","tag-vermillion-parish","tag-year"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117238233404426394","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1051922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1051922"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1051922\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1051923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1051922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1051922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1051922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
