Job Description & How to Apply Below
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.
The project consists of a multi-phase, greenfield campus build including data halls, central utility plants (CUP), electrical yards, substations, and extensive site infrastructure. This is a high-profile, fast-paced environment requiring strict adherence to schedule, quality, and safety standards typical of Tier III / Tier IV data center construction.
Project Overview (Mega Data Center - North Dakota Region)
+ 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
Key Responsibilities
+ 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
Qualifications Required
+ 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)
+ Mechanical systems (chilled water plants, distribution piping, cooling systems)
+ 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
Preferred Experience
+ 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
Ideal Candidate Traits
+ Strong, decisive field leader who can manage high-pressure schedules
+ Excellent…
