OFCI Manager (Electrical & Mechanical) (Mission Critical)

About the role

Reporting to the Systems Executive, the OFCI (Owner Furnished, Contractor Installed) Manager requires a focus on the intersection of logistics, technical commissioning, and relationship management. In a mission critical context, this person is the gatekeeper of high-value equipment like Switchgear, Generators, UPS units, Chillers, and CRAHs. You ensure that when the Owner's equipment arrives at the site, Clark staff and its MEP subcontractors are ready to receive, install, and energize it without delaying the critical path. The OFCI Manager will oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of Owner-provided equipment. You will serve as the primary technical liaison between the Client’s procurement team, the equipment vendors, and the onsite MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) trade partners. Your goal is to ensure all long-lead equipment is integrated into the build seamlessly, from factory testing to final commissioning.

The role is physically active: you will be on your feet frequently, navigating active job sites with uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, and hoists, lifting up to 25 lb regularly and up to 50 lb occasionally, and requiring bending, kneeling, and reaching. You’ll split time between the construction site (exposed to weather, noise, elevated or confined spaces) and a typical office setting for computer work, document review, and meetings. Success demands flexibility to work extended hours during critical phases, responsiveness to time‑sensitive communications, and adherence to Clark Construction’s safety policies, including a pre‑employment and random quarterly drug‑free workplace screening.

Responsibilities

• Maintain the Master Equipment Log. Monitor factory production dates and coordinate "Just-In-Time" delivery to avoid site congestion or double-handling.
• Review submittals and shop drawings to ensure OFCI equipment footprints, weights, and connection points match the GC’s onsite MEP coordination drawings.
• Lead the "In-Process" inspections. Upon delivery, conduct thorough damage assessments (pre-offloading) and verify that all components, O&M manuals, and spare parts are present.
• Act as the onsite point of contact for vendor technicians during the installation and "Startup" phases of specialized equipment.
• Work with the Project Scheduler to integrate equipment lead times and commissioning windows into the construction schedule.
• Identify "Gap" items—materials required for installation that are neither provided by the Owner nor the Subcontractor (e.g., specific mounting hardware or specialized oils/coolants).
• Participate in Customer’s "Virtual Design and Construction" meetings to ensure the OFCI equipment matches the physical reality of the site’s “phased” builds.
• Manage the receipt of modularized units (e.g., Power Skids or pre-fabricated Cooling Blocks) that require precision rigging and specialized grounding.
• Utilize customer-specific asset management tools (e.g., G-Tech or internal SAP instances) to track serial numbers from the factory floor to the data hall floor.
• Drive the coordination of "Level 3" (Pre-functional) and "Level 4" (Functional Performance) testing phases, ensuring the OFCI equipment "talks" to customer’s global monitoring systems.
• Oversee the hand-off of "Capital Spares" (critical parts sent by customer) to the Operations team post-handover.
