Senior MEP Superintendent, Data Centers

Overview

The Senior MEP Superintendent is the project-level field Operations leader for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEP/FP) execution on Mission Critical (MC) data center projects. The role plans, coordinates, and drives MEP construction from installation through startup and turnover. It owns trade-partner performance, field sequencing and short-interval planning, constructability, installation compliance, deficiency correction, site logistics, and safety, and it establishes the Operations readiness on which the independent Quality, Commissioning, and Energy Marshal functions act.

• Direct the day-to-day field activities of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and controls trade partners across the assigned scope
• Lead field implementation of MEP/BIM coordination; confirm installed work matches the coordinated model and drive resolution of conflicts, RFIs, and field changes
• Own MEP construction sequencing, workface planning, and short-interval schedules in alignment with the project master schedule
• Ensure layout, elevations, supports, and rough-in are checked against contract documents and the coordinated model before work advances or is concealed, and resolve exceptions

• Plan and coordinate delivery, rigging, and setting of major MEP equipment (switch gear, generators, UPS, transformers, chillers, CRAH/CRAC units, pumps, and distribution)
• Coordinate long-lead equipment receipt, inspection, protection, and storage with the MEP Project Manager and procurement
• Manage MEP site logistics, including laydown, crane and lift plans, access, and temporary power/utilities

• Drive and monitor MEP installation compliance with contract documents, approved submittals, manufacturer requirements, applicable codes, and project workmanship standards; identify deficient conditions early, direct trade-partner correction, and prepare work for required independent Quality verification
• Partner with project Quality on First Delivery, Benchmark, in-process, and completion inspections, and drive timely correction of deficiencies and nonconforming work
• Manage MEP construction quality control of trade execution without assuming Quality’s independent conformance-verification function

• Drive field completion of MEP installation, testing, documentation, and the trade, vendor, access, and other prerequisites required to support commissioning progression
• Provide and coordinate Operations, trade‑partner, vendor, equipment, and field resources required for Suffolk‑led commissioning activities through L3, and for project participation in client‑ and CxA‑led L4–L5 testing and turnover
• Drive timely field correction of Cx observations, failed‑test causes, incomplete prerequisites, and deficiencies assigned to Operations or trade partners, and restore affected systems to readiness for required retesting

• Incorporate approved EM requirements, energization sequences,…
