Job Description:
MEP Superintendent

Location: Austin, Texas (Onsite)

COMPENSATION: $70 - $90 HOURLY

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced MEP Superintendent to lead all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing field operations on large-scale, fast-paced design-build construction projects within the advanced manufacturing sector. This individual will be responsible for coordinating and directing MEP trade contractors, managing system installations from rough-in through commissioning, and ensuring all building systems meet the rigorous performance standards required in advanced manufacturing environments. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in complex MEP systems and thrives in concurrent-design environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Direct and coordinate all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing construction activities including HVAC, process piping, power distribution, fire protection, and plumbing systems across multiple work fronts.
• Manage MEP subcontractors and self-perform crews; lead weekly MEP coordination meetings, resolve spatial conflicts, and ensure installation sequences align with the master schedule.
• Work directly with MEP design engineers to review evolving design packages, provide constructability input, identify value engineering opportunities, and resolve RFIs in real-time.
• Leverage 3D MEP coordination models to identify and resolve clashes prior to installation; ensure field conditions match coordinated models and drive accountability for model accuracy.
• Develop and maintain detailed MEP look-ahead schedules; drive pull planning sessions with trade partners to protect critical path milestones in a fast-track environment.
• Oversee MEP quality programs including pressure testing, insulation inspections, electrical termination checks, and system flushing/cleaning protocols required for advanced manufacturing environments.
• Lead MEP system startup and commissioning activities; coordinate with commissioning agents, process equipment vendors, and owner operations teams to achieve system turnover milestones.
• Enforce MEP-specific safety protocols including lockout/tagout, confined space entry, hot work permits, and electrical safety; champion zero-incident culture across all MEP trades.
• Forecast MEP labor requirements, monitor productivity, and escalate resource gaps to ensure adequate craft coverage during peak installation periods.
• Manage MEP punch list resolution, O&M manual collection, as-built coordination, and warranty documentation for system turnover.

Required Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and trade experience.

Experience: A minimum of 10 years of MEP construction experience, with at least 5 years in a Superintendent or Senior Foreman role overseeing multi-trade MEP installations. Demonstrated experience on fast-paced, design-build construction projects is required, along with direct experience with advanced manufacturing facility MEP systems (semiconductor fabs, battery plants, pharmaceutical, or similar process-intensive environments). Experience managing MEP scopes on projects valued at $200M+ with a peak MEP workforce exceeding 500 craft workers is also required.

Skills: Strong knowledge of mechanical systems (HVAC, process cooling, cleanroom air handling), electrical systems (medium/high voltage distribution, switchgear, UPS), and plumbing/process piping. Proficiency in reading and interpreting MEP construction drawings, specifications, and P&IDs. A working knowledge of BIM/Revit coordination workflows and clash detection processes is necessary. An OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification is required. Familiarity with commissioning processes (Cx) and system turnover protocols for critical facilities is also needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with semiconductor fab or cleanroom construction MEP systems (process exhaust, ultra-pure water, specialty gases, chemical delivery).
• Journeyman or Master electrician/pipefitter license or equivalent trade background.
• NFPA 70E electrical safety certification.
• Experience with prefabrication and modular MEP assembly strategies.
• Lean construction training or Last Planner System certification.
• Experience with integrated commissioning (ICx) on mission-critical facilities.
• LEED AP or knowledge of sustainable mechanical/electrical systems.
