General Superintendent

General MEP Superintendent – Data Centers

We are currently partnered with one of the Midwest’s most respected commercial builders in its search for a General MEP Superintendent to support a rapidly expanding portfolio of hyperscale data center projects.

This is an opportunity to join a nationally ranked contractor with nearly a century of construction experience, an established mission-critical division, and a significant pipeline of recently awarded work (14+ projects). The company has built long-standing relationships with major repeat clients by delivering technically complex projects while maintaining a collaborative, people-first culture.

The company is continuing to build its mission-critical leadership team, creating genuine opportunities to advance into senior operational and executive-level positions as the division grows. Performance and promotion opportunities are formally reviewed every six months, giving high performers a clear path forward.

Coordinate mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, controls, and specialty contractors

Develop and maintain master schedules, short-interval plans, manpower projections, and major system milestones

Drive equipment procurement, installation, startup, testing, energization, and commissioning activities

Identify and resolve design conflicts, coordination issues, and field constraints before they affect the schedule

Lead coordination between the field team, project management, design partners, trade contractors, and commissioning agents

Maintain accountability for safety, quality, productivity, cost control, and schedule performance

Oversee QA/QC programs, system inspections, punch-list completion, and turnover documentation

Provide leadership and mentorship to Superintendents, Assistant Superintendents, and field engineers

Maintain strong communication with clients and ensure expectations are met throughout the project

Create a collaborative field environment built around accountability, urgency, and teamwork

Ideal Background

10+ years of commercial construction field leadership experience

Previous experience as a General Superintendent, MEP Superintendent, Senior Superintendent, or comparable field leader

Strong understanding of electrical and mechanical systems, controls, energization, startup, and commissioning

Proven experience managing multiple MEP trades on large, fast-paced projects

Ability to lead other Superintendents and coordinate complex field teams

Strong scheduling, communication, problem-solving, and client-facing skills

Bachelor’s degree in construction management or a related field preferred; equivalent field experience will be considered

Willingness to travel between data center projects throughout the Midwest

Why This Role Stands Out

Bi-Yearly Bonus

Nationally ranked contractor with nearly 100 years of construction experience

Support a rapidly growing mission-critical division with a substantial backlog of awarded work

Work on some of the Midwest’s largest and most technically advanced data center projects

Take ownership of the full MEP field operation—not just one individual trade

Join a company known for repeat clients, long-term relationships, and a collaborative culture

Receive support from experienced project management, scheduling, safety, quality, and commissioning teams

Formal performance and promotional reviews every six months

Competitive base salary, annual bonus potential, comprehensive benefits, and additional project-based compensation
