Superintendent – Mega Data Center Construction

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 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
