The posting

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 are hiring a Head of Emergency Response to lead the design, implementation, and ongoing operation of the Music City Loop Emergency Response Team (ERT). The ERT delivers rapid initial multi-hazard response (medical, technical rescue, evacuation support, fire/life safety, and incident command) inside the tunnels while maintaining full compliance with applicable OSHA and NFPA industrial fire brigade standards. This role establishes a lean, highly effective, technology-enabled capability that fulfills the operator's exclusive initial emergency response authority under Tennessee law.

Key Responsibilities Own and maintain the ERT Charter, Emergency Response Plan (ERP), and all supporting SOPs, integrating with existing company procedures and systems. Design and implement a competency-based training program that meets OSHA 1910.156, NFPA 1081, and TFACA requirements for fire/life safety functions, plus specialized modules for tunnel operations, EV hazards, ventilation control, confined space, and technical rescue. Specify, procure, and manage the ERT vehicle fleet and all equipment; oversee pre-positioning, inspection, and maintenance programs. Build and lead a world-class Emergency Response Team. Develop and execute a comprehensive drill and exercise program (tabletop through full-scale, including joint exercises). Manage program budget, records, audits, continuous improvement, and post-incident reviews. Integrate ERT operations with the 24/7 Operations Control Center (OCC) for monitoring, dispatch, and system activation. Advise on tunnel system design and future expansions from an emergency response perspective.

Required Qualifications 8–12+ years of progressive experience leading industrial, facility, or transit emergency response programs (tunnel, underground infrastructure, or high-hazard industrial environments strongly preferred). Deep working knowledge of OSHA 1910.156, NFPA 600/1081/130, ICS/NIMS, and emergency vehicle/equipment programs. Certifications preferred: Fire Officer I or higher, EMT-B or Paramedic (or ability to obtain), confined space rescue technician, or equivalent. TFACA or Pro Board/IFSAC credentials are a plus. Proven ability to build programs from scratch — policy development, training curricula, equipment procurement, team formation, and regulatory engagement. Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills. Comfortable operating in tunnel/confined space environments and performing or overseeing hands-on response duties. Bachelor's degree in safety, fire protection, emergency management, or related field (Master’s 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.

Benefits We offer employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan, paid holidays, paid vacation, and a competitive amount of equity for all permanent employees.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
