Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced MEP Mechanical Superintendent to lead field operations on commercial, industrial, and large-scale construction projects.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in mechanical construction, including HVAC, plumbing, piping, and mechanical systems installation. This individual will oversee field crews, coordinate subcontractors, manage schedules, and ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee daily mechanical construction activities, including HVAC, plumbing, piping, and equipment installation.

• Lead and coordinate field crews, foremen, subcontractors, and skilled trades.

• Manage manpower, materials, equipment, scheduling, and jobsite productivity.

• Read and interpret construction drawings, blueprints, specifications, and mechanical plans.

• Coordinate mechanical installations with electrical, structural, and other construction trades.

• Monitor project schedules, quality control, safety compliance, and installation progress.

• Work closely with Project Managers, engineers, and general contractors to resolve field challenges.

• Oversee equipment startup, testing, commissioning, punch lists, and project closeout.

• Maintain OSHA safety standards and promote a strong jobsite safety culture.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of commercial or industrial mechanical construction experience required.

• 3+ years of experience as a Mechanical Superintendent, MEP Superintendent, General Foreman, or similar field leadership role preferred.

• Strong working knowledge of commercial HVAC, plumbing, piping, and mechanical systems.

• Experience managing field crews, subcontractors, schedules, and construction operations.

• Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, specifications, and construction documents.

• Experience with commercial, industrial, healthcare, manufacturing, or data center construction preferred.

• Strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a hands-on mechanical construction leader who understands what it takes to keep projects moving, crews productive, and installations on schedule.

Candidates must have direct mechanical construction field experience. General management experience outside the construction industry does not substitute for the technical experience required for this position.
