Superintendent - Hyperscale Data Center

Superintendent – Hyperscale Data Center Construction About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Superintendent to lead field operations on a large‑scale hyperscale data center campus. This role is responsible for managing all on‑site construction activities across multiple buildings and infrastructure packages, ensuring safe, high‑quality, and on‑schedule delivery of mission‑critical facilities.

• Large‑scale campus development (multi‑building, phased delivery)
• Data halls with high‑density compute capacity
• Central Utility Plant (CUP) supporting chilled water systems
• Medium‑ and high‑voltage electrical distribution (substations, switch gear yards)
• Backup power systems including generators, fuel systems, and UPS infrastructure
• Underground utilities, duct banks, fiber pathways, and storm systems
• Structural steel or precast building systems with complex enclosure assemblies
• Redundant mechanical and electrical systems (N+1 / 2N configurations)
• Extreme weather considerations (cold climate construction, winterization planning)
• Aggressive commissioning and turnover schedules tied to client capacity demands

• Lead all on‑site construction activities across civil, structural, MEP, electrical, enclosure, and site infrastructure scopes
• Manage field operations from mobilization through commissioning and final turnover across multiple project phases
• Coordinate subcontractors and trades across complex work zones, including:
  Earthwork and underground utilities;
  Structural steel / precast erection;
  Mechanical systems (chilled water, CRAH/CRAC, piping);
  Electrical systems (MV/LV distribution, switch gear, generators, UPS)
• Drive execution of critical path activities including:
  Equipment setting (generators, chillers, switch gear);
  Cable pulling and termination;
  Mechanical piping installation and pressure testing
• Oversee sequencing, logistics, crane operations, and material flow across large jobsite footprints
• Conduct daily huddles, pull planning sessions, and 3–6 week lookahead scheduling
• Enforce strict safety protocols aligned with high‑risk activities (energized work, heavy lifts, confined spaces)
• Review construction documents, BIM models, shop drawings, and submittals for constructability and coordination
• Identify and resolve field conflicts proactively to maintain schedule and avoid rework
• Partner closely with project management, commissioning teams, QA/QC, and client representatives
• Support commissioning activities including system turnover packages, pre‑functional checklists, and integrated systems testing (IST)
• Drive quality control, punch list completion, and closeout documentation

• 5–10+ years of experience in commercial, industrial, or mission‑critical construction
• Proven experience as a Superintendent or lead field supervisor on large‑scale projects
• Strong understanding of electrical infrastructure (medium/high voltage, substations, switch gear)
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems (chilled water plants, distribution piping, cooling systems)
• Strong understanding of structural sequencing and building envelope systems
• Experience coordinating multiple subcontractors across complex, fast‑track schedules
• Ability to manage field operations independently in a high‑demand environment
• OSHA 30 Certification
• High school diploma or GED

• Data center, semiconductor, or other mission‑critical facility construction
• Experience with commissioning processes and turnover requirements
• Familiarity with redundancy systems (N+1, 2N architectures)
• Cold‑weather construction planning and execution
• Experience with BIM/VDC coordination and digital construction tools

• Strong, decisive field leader who can manage high‑pressure schedules
• Excellent communicator with the ability to align multiple trades and stakeholders
• Highly organized with strong attention to sequencing, logistics, and detail
• Proactive problem‑solver who anticipates and mitigates risks early
• Safety‑first mindset with a commitment to zero incidents
• Driven to deliver high‑quality results in mission‑critical environments
• Able to operate both independently and within a large, integrated project team
