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
- 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)
- 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
- 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
