Senior MEP Manager (Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing)

About the Role

We're looking for a highly experienced MEP Manager to act as Nscale's on-site technical authority for all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems on a new, large-scale data centre build.

• Serve as the owner's on-site representative across all MEP scopes: electrical (medium and low voltage, switchgear, UPS, generators), mechanical (CRAC/CRAH, chilled water, cooling towers), and plumbing (domestic, process, fire suppression).
• Attend and lead MEP coordination meetings, including BIM clash detection reviews and subcontractor prefabrication planning sessions.
• Review MEP submittals, shop drawings, and RFIs for technical accuracy and compliance with project specifications.
• Maintain oversight of MEP installation sequencing, quality, and code compliance across all active fronts.
• Cover integration of MEP systems with IT and low-voltage infrastructure, raised floor layouts, and structural elements.
• Oversee startup and pre-commissioning activities, working closely with the commissioning authority (CxA) and the owner's CX team.
• Track and drive resolution of MEP-specific open items, punch list deficiencies, and Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs).
• Attend Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) and Site Acceptance Tests (SATs) for major equipment as required.
• Provide daily and weekly MEP progress summaries to the General Construction Manager and the owner-side programme team.
• Review change proposals related to MEP scope for technical validity and owner impact.

About You

• 10+ years of MEP construction or commissioning experience, including at least 4 years in data centre or mission-critical environments.
• Deep technical knowledge of critical power systems (switchgear, UPS, PDU, generators) and cooling infrastructure (chillers, cooling towers, CRAC/CRAH).
• Experience with MEP BIM coordination (Revit MEP, Navisworks) and 3D clash resolution workflows.
• Ability to read and interpret complex MEP drawings, single-line diagrams, P&IDs, and equipment submittals.
• Procore experience required, for MEP submittals, RFIs, issue tracking, and commissioning logs.
• Bluebeam Revu proficiency required, for MEP drawing markup and redline coordination.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
• OSHA 30 certification required.
• Integrity. You do the right thing when no one is watching, and you never misrepresent status, cost, or progress to protect yourself.
• An ownership mentality. You treat the project as your own and hold yourself accountable without being told.
• Respectful under pressure. You stay composed and professional with contractors, trades, and owner staff regardless of the circumstances.
• Transparent communication. You surface problems early and honestly, and you never bury bad news.
• A team-first attitude. Ego stays at the gate; the project and the people on it come first.
• Reliability. You show up prepared, follow through on commitments, and do what you say you will do.
