The Mechanical QCX Superintendent is responsible for leading mechanical quality control and commissioning execution on a data center construction project. This role bridges construction and commissioning by ensuring mechanical systems are installed correctly, tested thoroughly, and turned over in a fully operational, code-compliant condition.
The Mechanical QCX Superintendent provides day-to-day leadership of mechanical QCx activities in the field, coordinating closely with mechanical contractors, controls teams, commissioning authorities, and operations stakeholders. This position is ideal for a mechanically inclined construction professional with hands-on trade management experience who is ready to step into a leadership role focused on quality, performance, and system readiness.
Responsibilities:
Provide overall leadership for mechanical quality control and commissioning (QCx) activities, ensuring mechanical systems are installed, tested, and commissioned in accordance with design intent, client requirements, and project standards.
Plan, coordinate, and oversee mechanical commissioning execution from construction completion through pre-functional checks, functional performance testing, and system turnover.
Lead and manage Mechanical QCx Engineers, Leads, and Inspectors, ensuring consistent application of QCx processes across all mechanical scopes.
Oversee QCx activities for:
Process Mechanical & High-Purity Piping Systems
Exhaust Systems, Scrubbers, and Abatement Equipment
HVAC, Mechanical Utilities, and Plumbing Systems
Mechanical Equipment Installation, Startup, and Alignment
Develop, review, and approve QCx plans, commissioning procedures, checklists, and test scripts for mechanical systems.
Ensure proper execution of field verification, walkdowns, pressure testing, flushing, leak testing, balancing, and functional testing.
Coordinate with construction, commissioning, controls, and operations teams to resolve installation and performance issues.
Validate system performance including flow, pressure, temperature, redundancy, alarms, interlocks, and fail-safe operation.
Support and lead Integrated System Testing (IST) where mechanical systems interface with controls, exhaust safety systems, and process tools.
Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and client specifications, including ASHRAE, ASME, SMACNA, SEMI, NFPA, and local AHJ requirements.
Track, manage, and drive closure of QCx issues, deficiencies, and punch list items, ensuring timely resolution and documentation.
Maintain accurate QCx documentation, including test results, redlines, as-built verification, and turnover packages.
Participate in startup readiness reviews, cutover planning, and operational handoff, ensuring systems are stable and operationally ready.
Serve as the primary mechanical QCx interface with the client, commissioning authority, and third‑party reviewers.
Enforce EHS, LOTO, and safe commissioning practices throughout all mechanical QCx activities.
Monitor and report QCx performance metrics, schedule impacts, and risk mitigation strategies to project leadership.
Lead lessons learned and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance mechanical QCx execution on future projects.
