Job Description

MEP systems are the backbone of every data center we build — power, cooling, and life-safety infrastructure have to work flawlessly from day one.

Key Responsibilities

Nscale is seeking a highly experienced MEP Manager to join our team as a full-time employee, serving as the owner's technical expert for all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems on a new, large-scale data center project. This individual will embed on-site alongside the General Construction Manager and serve as the primary owner's representative for the full MEP scope — from pre-construction coordination through installation, testing, commissioning, and acceptance.
The successful candidate will bring deep technical knowledge of mission-critical MEP systems including UPS, switchgear, generators, cooling plant, and low-voltage infrastructure, and will be able to hold GC, MEP subcontractors, and equipment vendors accountable to the owner's standards and schedule.
What You'll be Doing
Serve as the owner's on-site representative for all MEP scopes: electrical (medium/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 - Monitor MEP installation sequencing, quality, and code compliance across all active fronts - Coordinate integration of MEP systems with IT/low-voltage infrastructure, raised floor layouts, and structural elements - Oversee startup and pre-commissioning activities; work closely with the commissioning authority (CxA) and owner's CX team - Track and drive resolution of MEP-specific open items, punch list deficiencies, and NCRs (Non-Conformance Reports) - 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 owner-side program team - Assist in reviewing change proposals related to MEP scope for technical validity and owner impact

Requirements

10+ years of MEP construction or commissioning experience, with at least 4 years in data center 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; Bluebeam Revu proficiency required - OSHA 30 certification required - Comfortable working in active construction and energized equipment environments, with strict adherence to electrical safety protocols and site PPE
