MEP Superintendent

What you’ll do

As the MEP Superintendent, you will run mechanical, electrical, and plumbing construction on the ground at one of Giga's active data center sites — coordinating the trades that turn a shell into a live, mission-critical facility. You'll manage MEP subcontractors day-to-day, keep switchgear, UPS, CRAH/CRAC, and BMS installations on schedule and to spec, and be the person who catches a clash or a sequencing problem before it becomes a delay. You'll work directly with the Project Director, PMs, and the commissioning team to make sure what gets installed in the field is what actually gets turned over — clean, tested, and ready for IST.

Where you’ll work

This is a site-based role. You'll be on-site full-time at an active Giga data center construction site, with the specific location depending on current project needs. 

Responsibilities

• Supervise day-to-day MEP construction activities, including electrical (MV/HV, switchgear, UPS), mechanical (CRAH/CRAC, chillers, piping), and plumbing scopes
• Coordinate and direct MEP subcontractors, ensuring work is sequenced correctly across trades and stays on schedule
• Review and enforce compliance with single-line diagrams, P&IDs, and MEP specifications in the field
• Enforce site safety standards specific to electrical and mechanical work, including LOTO procedures
• Coordinate closely with the commissioning team to prepare systems for FPTs and IST, and resolve issues found during commissioning
• Manage trade stacking and sequencing to avoid clashes between electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and controls installers
• Maintain daily logs, track progress against the schedule, and flag delays, material issues, or risks early
• Inspect in-progress work for compliance with OPR/BOD requirements and applicable codes
• Resolve field-level conflicts between MEP trades and escalate issues that require design or engineering input
• Support quality control inspections and punch list closeout for MEP scopes
• Partner with the Project Director and Project Managers on schedule updates, manpower planning, and subcontractor performance

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in MEP construction, with at least 3+ years in a superintendent or equivalent field leadership role
• Experience running MEP scopes on large-scale industrial, utility, or mission-critical facility projects
• Strong working knowledge of MV/HV electrical systems, switchgear, UPS, and CRAH/CRAC systems
• Ability to read and interpret single-line diagrams, P&IDs, and MEP specifications
• OSHA 30 certification
• Proven ability to manage subcontractors across multiple trades and hold them accountable to schedule and quality
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across trades, commissioning teams, engineers, and project leadership

Bonus points 

• Experience building data centers or other mission-critical facilities
• Direct experience supporting commissioning (Cx) activities, including FPTs and IST
• Familiarity with BMS/controls integration in the field
