What you’ll do
As the MEP Superintendent, you will run mechanical, electrical, and plumbing construction on the ground at one of Giga's active data center sites — coordinating the trades that turn a shell into a live, mission-critical facility. You'll manage MEP subcontractors day-to-day, keep switchgear, UPS, CRAH/CRAC, and BMS installations on schedule and to spec, and be the person who catches a clash or a sequencing problem before it becomes a delay. You'll work directly with the Project Director, PMs, and the commissioning team to make sure what gets installed in the field is what actually gets turned over — clean, tested, and ready for IST.
Where you’ll work
This is a site-based role. You'll be on-site full-time at an active Giga data center construction site, with the specific location depending on current project needs.

- Review and enforce compliance with single-line diagrams, P&IDs, and MEP specifications in the field
- Enforce site safety standards specific to electrical and mechanical work, including LOTO procedures
- Coordinate closely with the commissioning team to prepare systems for FPTs and IST, and resolve issues found during commissioning
- Manage trade stacking and sequencing to avoid clashes between electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and controls installers
- Maintain daily logs, track progress against the schedule, and flag delays, material issues, or risks early
- Inspect in-progress work for compliance with OPR/BOD requirements and applicable codes
- Resolve field-level conflicts between MEP trades and escalate issues that require design or engineering input
- Support quality control inspections and punch list closeout for MEP scopes
- Partner with the Project Director and Project Managers on schedule updates, manpower planning, and subcontractor performance
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in MEP construction, with at least 3+ years in a superintendent or equivalent field leadership role
- Experience running MEP scopes on large-scale industrial, utility, or mission-critical facility projects
