TYG is partnering with an established national design-builder to hire an MEP Superintendent for its mission-critical team. This is an opportunity to lead the field installation of the power distribution and cooling systems that bring a hyperscale data center online.

You’ll work alongside the MEP Project Manager, in-house engineers and trade foremen from planning through startup and turnover. Your field knowledge will influence how equipment gets into the building, how the trades sequence their work and when each system is ready for testing.

What you’ll do

• Direct mechanical, electrical and plumbing subcontractors in the field, coordinating equipment deliveries, installation access and work areas with the wider site team.
• Review electrical one-lines, piping and instrumentation diagrams, shop drawings and equipment layouts. Resolve conflicts with engineering and trade partners before installation.
• Build the MEP lookahead around equipment setting, permanent power, cooling availability and commissioning milestones.
• Track installed quantities and crew productivity. Walk installations with foremen to verify quality, identify incomplete work and close deficiencies before testing.
• Coordinate startup and turnover with vendors and commissioning teams. Keep the MEP Project Manager informed of schedule risks, scope changes and cost impacts.

What you’ll bring

• At least five years of industrial construction experience, ideally on data centers or comparable mission-critical facilities.
• An associate degree or equivalent technical qualification and 10+ years in construction, or 15+ years of progressively responsible construction experience.
• Field leadership experience across mechanical and electrical trades, with a working knowledge of critical power, cooling, equipment installation and commissioning.
• The ability to connect what you see in the field to the schedule and make clear to each trade what has to happen next.
