Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world’s largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you’re an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you’ve come to the right place.
The Superintendent, Mechanical leads mechanical and cooling-systems field execution for a new data center build - owning day-to-day site operations for this scope in a high-stakes, mission-critical environment. Reporting to the Construction Manager and Director, Construction, this role drives schedule, coordinates trades, and enforces safety and quality from mobilization through turnover. Superintendents are the standard on a Hut 8 site: what you walk past, you approve.
Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:
Supervise installation of chilled water plants, air and liquid cooling systems, CRAH/CDU equipment, heat rejection, and piping and insulation. Manage pipe flushing, pressure testing, and cleanliness protocols - contamination in a critical cooling loop is a commissioning-stopping event.
Own hydronic system installation and balancing: pumps, valves, strainers, and controls interfaces. Verify flow, pressure, and temperature performance against design intent before systems are turned over for commissioning.
Coordinate receiving, offload, and rigging of major mechanical equipment - chillers, CRAHs, CDUs, pumps, and cooling towers - with the Materials Manager and Logistics & Expediting Manager. Verify equipment condition, storage, and preservation requirements are met before installation.
Own mechanical trade stacking and sequencing across white space, galleries, and mechanical yards. Run BIM-supported coordination in the field with electrical and controls trades and resolve clashes before they're installed clashes.
Drive completion of installation checklists and prerequisites supporting Level 1-3 commissioning, and support Cx execution through Levels 4-5 with the CXQC Field Manager and Mechanical SME - your installation quality is the Cx schedule's foundation.
Enforce mechanical safety practices - pressure testing controls, rigging and lifting operations, and confined-space entry where applicable - and hold mechanical trade partners to first-time quality with documented QC.
Own the mechanical three-week look-ahead, daily coordination, and progress reporting. Drive mechanical RFIs and field issues to closure with the Project Engineer (MEP) and discipline engineers, and keep test records and as-builts current as systems complete.
What we're looking for:
- 7+ years supervising mechanical trades on data center, semiconductor, hospital, or heavy industrial projects; mission-critical strongly preferred.
- Working knowledge of chilled water plants, air and liquid cooling systems, and hydronic distribution, including testing and start-up practices.
- Experience driving Level 1-5 commissioning prerequisites and turnover documentation inside a live Cx program.
- Strong trade-sequencing instincts in congested, schedule-critical space; fluent in look-ahead planning and manpower loading.
- Pipe cleanliness, flushing, and pressure-test discipline for critical hydronic systems.
- Safety leadership including rigging, lifting, and confined-space operations; OSHA 30 preferred.
- Comfortable with Procore/ACC, BIM field use, and full mechanical drawing packages.
- Clear documentation habits: dailies, QC records, and test documentation.
Full-time site-based role in Corpus Christi, TX.
- Hut 8 offers a benefits and wellness program that includes medical, dental, vision, life, and short-term and long-term disability insurance, as well as paid time off.
We are proud to invest in building the best team in the industry. At all levels of the organization, we are driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, radical transparency, and relentless growth mentality.
- Work with bright, driven peers from a range of educational and professional backgrounds including software development, energy, engineering, entrepreneurship, investment banking, private equity, and management consulting
- Design and pitch new products, services, and other initiatives to a leadership team consisting of serial entrepreneurs and seasoned executives and backed by a board of directors consisting of industry veterans of energy, finance, and government
- Debate ideas and alternatives in a truly meritocratic setting where the learning curve is steep and the lessons come from both senior and junior members of the team
- Build a lifelong network of friends and professional connections at the cutting-edge intersection of technology, energy, and infrastructure
