Role Summary

Reports to:

Director of Construction

Experience:

12+ years

Position Overview

The Sr. Construction Manager (MEP) is the senior owner/operator leader accountable for the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and mission-critical systems delivery of Fleet's data center buildings — including medium-to-low voltage electrical infrastructure, heavy mechanical cooling, industrial automation and controls, and fire/life-safety and security systems. Reporting to the Director of Construction, this role owns the MEP discipline outcome across the building(s): scope, schedule confidence, quality, safety alignment, contractor accountability, and commissioning and turnover readiness.

The Sr CM (MEP) leads MEP-scope Construction Manager(s) and coordinates closely with the Sr CM (CSA), Sr CM (BTM/Substation/BESS), Sr Project Engineer, and Project Engineer. This is a discipline leadership role — the campus program, capital budget, and corporate/partner interface sit with the Director.

• Cross-Discipline Coordination:
  Coordinate MEP rough-in, systems integration, and energization sequencing with the Sr CM (CSA) and Sr CM (BTM/Substation/BESS).

• Scope Sign-Off:
  Lead MEP progress evaluations, owner inspections, and MEP milestone and punch-list sign-offs, feeding into the Director's campus-level milestone authority.

  Align MEP readiness with the delivery and rigging of long-lead OFCI equipment (e.g., switch gear, generators, chillers, UPS).

• Procurement & Change Orders:
  Provide senior technical expertise in RFPs and onboarding; audit and negotiate MEP change orders.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field, OR equivalent practical owner-side field leadership experience.

• 12+ years of construction management experience with a focus on in-building MEP delivery — medium-to-low voltage electrical distribution, standby/emergency generation, heavy mechanical cooling, integrated controls/BMS, and mission-critical systems — on large-scale, fast-tracked projects. Owner/operator or developer experience is preferred; a strong general contractor delivery background, or leadership experience with a well-established mechanical or electrical trade partner at this scale, is also considered.
