• Track manpower, productivity, and area readiness; communicate impacts and recovery plans.

Quality Control & Clean Build Discipline (Primary)

• Enforce mechanical installation standards, tolerances, and manufacturer requirements.
• Drive quality walks and manage deficiency/punch lists to closure.
• Protect critical spaces: dust control, cleanliness, protection of finishes/equipment, and strict housekeeping expectations.
• Ensure labeling, tagging, and documentation support turnover and commissioning.

Coordination & Communication (Primary)

• Lead/participate in key coordination meetings: foreman huddles, subcontractor coordination, BIM/VDC coordination, look-ahead planning, and progress walks.
• Coordinate with commissioning agents (CxA), controls vendors, and TAB contractors to ensure readiness and logical execution.
• Communicate field issues clearly with options, impacts, and recommended solutions.

Procurement & Long-Lead Tracking (Supporting)

• Track and support procurement status for mechanical long-lead items (CRAH/CRAC, pumps, towers, valves packages, specialty equipment).
• Coordinate delivery, laydown, rigging plans, and installation readiness with the project team and vendors.

Testing, Commissioning Readiness & Turnover (Primary/Supporting)

• Drive mechanical completion by system/area to support startup and commissioning.
• Coordinate TAB and flushing/cleaning requirements (hydronic cleanliness, chemical treatment as required).
• Ensure prefunctional checklists, test results, and installation sign-offs are complete and filed.
• Support turnover requirements: as-builts, O&Ms, training coordination, warranties, spare parts, and final punch closure.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

• Strong mechanical construction background with superintendent-level leadership experience.
• Mission-critical/data center experience strongly preferred; other high-spec industrial or healthcare experience considered.
• Deep understanding of mechanical means and methods, sequencing, and constructability.
• Ability to read drawings/specs and enforce quality with subcontractors.
• Working knowledge of BAS/BMS coordination and commissioning flow (prefunctional → functional → integrated testing).
• Strong communication and conflict resolution skills; calm under pressure.
• Comfortable with field technology (Procore/ACC, Bluebeam, MS Office) and daily reporting.
• Understanding of CPM schedule logic and short-interval planning.

Experience & Education (Typical)

• 7+ years in commercial/industrial mechanical construction, including lead superintendent/foreman responsibility.
• Data center / mission-critical experience preferred.
• OSHA 30 preferred (or willingness to obtain).
