Job description

About Hut 8

Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. 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.

About The Role

The Superintendent, MEP leads mechanical, electrical, and plumbing 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.

Electrical Systems

Supervise installation of MV/LV distribution: switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS, busway/busduct, PDUs, and branch circuits to the rack. Enforce cable management, termination and torque documentation, grounding, and labeling standards, and coordinate NETA acceptance testing and energization sequencing with the Superintendent, HV and the Electrical SME.

Mechanical & Cooling Systems

Supervise chilled water plants, air and liquid cooling systems, CRAH/CDU installation, piping and insulation, and hydronic balancing. Manage pipe flushing, pressure testing, and cleanliness protocols - contamination in a critical cooling loop is a commissioning-stopping event.

Trade Sequencing in Dense Space

Own trade stacking and sequencing across electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and controls in congested white space, galleries, and yards. Run BIM-supported coordination in the field and resolve clashes before they're installed clashes.

Commissioning Handoff

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 - your installation quality is the Cx schedule's foundation.

Safety & Quality Enforcement

Enforce electrical safety (NFPA 70E), LOTO, energized work permits, and hot work controls as systems progressively energize around ongoing construction. Hold MEP trade partners to first-time quality with documented QC.

Planning, Documentation & Issues

Own the MEP three-week look-ahead, daily coordination, and progress reporting. Drive MEP 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.

About You

• What we're looking for:
• 7+ years supervising electrical and/or mechanical trades on data center, semiconductor, hospital, or heavy industrial projects; mission-critical strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of MV/LV power distribution, standby generation, UPS systems, and hydronic/liquid cooling plants, including testing and energization practices.
