Role Summary The
Sr Mechanical Superintendent
leads field execution of
mechanical scope
on mission-critical data center projects. This role owns day-to-day onsite leadership for mechanical activities: safety, subcontractor coordination, installation quality, schedule adherence, testing readiness, and turnover support. The Mechanical Superintendent ensures systems are installed correctly, documented properly, and turned over in a manner that supports successful startup, commissioning, and operations. This is a hands-on, high-accountability role for a leader who can drive production, coordinate seamlessly with electrical and CSA teams, and maintain clean build discipline in critical environments. Key Responsibilities Safety & Field Leadership (Primary) Lead mechanical field operations while reinforcing a
zero-incident culture
. Ensure subcontractors comply with site safety plans, permits, JSAs/AHAs, LOTO requirements, hot work controls, and housekeeping standards. Conduct regular safety walks; correct unsafe conditions immediately and escalate when necessary. Mechanical Scope Execution (Primary) Lead and coordinate installation for mechanical systems, including (project-dependent): Chilled water / condenser water piping and equipment CRAH/CRACs, AHUs, MAUs, exhaust systems Cooling towers / fluid coolers / pumps / heat exchangers Hydronic specialties, valves, strainers, expansion tanks, insulation Mechanical supports, housekeeping pads, curb systems, equipment rigging coordination Fire protection interface coordination (as required) BAS/BMS coordination for controls and integration readiness Equipment access, service clearances, and maintainability requirements Planning, Sequencing & Schedule Control (Primary) Own mechanical short-interval planning (daily/weekly) and support pull planning with measurable commitments. Coordinate mechanical rough-in, overhead work, and equipment setting paths with CSA/architectural progress and electrical busway/gear installation. Identify constraints early (design gaps, material delays, access conflicts) and drive resolution to maintain schedule. Track manpower, productivity, and area readiness; communicate impacts and recovery plans. Quality Control & Clean Build Discipline (Primary) Enforce mechanical installation standards, tolerances, and manufacturer requirements. Drive quality walks and manage deficiency/punch lists to closure. Protect critical spaces: dust control, cleanliness, protection of finishes/equipment, and strict housekeeping expectations. Ensure labeling, tagging, and documentation support turnover and commissioning. Coordination & Communication (Primary) Lead/participate in key coordination meetings: foreman huddles, subcontractor coordination, BIM/VDC coordination, look-ahead planning, and progress walks. Coordinate with commissioning agents (CxA), controls vendors, and TAB contractors to ensure readiness and logical execution. Communicate field issues clearly with options, impacts, and recommended solutions. Procurement & Long-Lead Tracking (Supporting) Track and support procurement status for mechanical long-lead items (CRAH/CRAC, pumps, towers, valves packages, specialty equipment). Coordinate delivery, laydown, rigging plans, and installation readiness with the project team and vendors. Testing, Commissioning Readiness & Turnover (Primary/Supporting) Drive mechanical completion by system/area to support startup and commissioning. Coordinate TAB and flushing/cleaning requirements (hydronic cleanliness, chemical treatment as required). Ensure prefunctional checklists, test results, and installation sign-offs are complete and filed. Support turnover requirements: as-builts, O&Ms, training coordination, warranties, spare parts, and final punch closure. Knowledge, Skills & Abilities Strong mechanical construction background with superintendent-level leadership experience. Mission-critical/data center experience strongly preferred; other high-spec industrial or healthcare experience considered. Deep understanding of mechanical means and methods, sequencing, and constructability. Ability to read drawings/specs and enforce quality with subcontractors. Working knowledge of BAS/BMS coordination and commissioning flow (prefunctional → functional → integrated testing). Strong communication and conflict resolution skills; calm under pressure. Comfortable with field technology (Procore/ACC, Bluebeam, MS Office) and daily reporting. Understanding of CPM schedule logic and short-interval planning. Experience & Education (Typical) 7+ years
in commercial/industrial mechanical construction, including lead superintendent/foreman responsibility. Data center / mission-critical experience preferred. OSHA 30 preferred (or willingness to obtain). Compensation & Benefits Competitive base salary based on experience and project scope. Performance-based bonus potential. Fully paid comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision) for you and your family. 401(k) Safe Harbor plan. Paid time off (PTO). Opportunity to work on technically complex data center projects in a high-performance environment focused on long-term growth and leadership development.
