MEP Superintendent

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.
