Full Time

Job Description
Overview:
On a Mission Critical project, the MEP scope frequently defines or materially influences the critical path, and this role exists to own its field execution end to end. Within the project’s overall field organization, the MEP Superintendent leads the MEP execution domain: the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and controls trades, their coordination, and their progression through installation, startup, commissioning support, and turnover. The general Superintendent leads the site-wide, all-trades field environment.
The MEP Superintendent works in close partnership with the MEP Project Manager, and coordinates closely with project Quality (which independently verifies installation conformance), Commissioning (Cx) (which independently verifies commissioning readiness and test performance), and the Energy Marshal (EM) (which independently governs startup authorization and controlled system-state progression). The role drives MEP systems to the completion and readiness those independent functions require through the L0–L5 commissioning lifecycle; it does not perform their determinations.
The MEP Superintendent may lead the MEP field effort for an assigned project or a major building/area on larger assignments, and directs assigned Assistant MEP Superintendents and MEP field personnel.

The MEP Superintendent is the project-level field Operations leader for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEP/FP) execution on Mission Critical (MC) data center projects. The role plans, coordinates, and drives MEP construction from installation through startup and turnover. It owns trade-partner performance, field sequencing and short-interval planning, constructability, installation compliance, deficiency correction, site logistics, and safety, and it establishes the Operations readiness on which the independent Quality, Commissioning, and Energy Marshal functions act.

The MEP Superintendent may lead the MEP field effort for an assigned project or a major building/area on larger assignments, and directs assigned Assistant MEP Superintendents and MEP field personnel.
Responsibilities:
MEP Field Execution and Trade Coordination
- Direct the day-to-day field activities of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and controls trade partners across the assigned scope
- Lead field implementation of MEP/BIM coordination; confirm installed work matches the coordinated model and drive resolution of conflicts, RFIs, and field changes
- Own MEP construction sequencing, workface planning, and short-interval schedules in alignment with the project master schedule
- Ensure layout, elevations, supports, and rough-in are checked against contract documents and the coordinated model before work advances or is concealed, and resolve exceptions
Equipment, Materials, and Site Logistics
- Plan and coordinate delivery, rigging, and setting of major MEP equipment (switchgear, generators, UPS, transformers, chillers, CRAH/CRAC units, pumps, and distribution)
- Coordinate long-lead equipment receipt, inspection, protection, and storage with the MEP Project Manager and procurement
- Manage MEP site logistics, including laydown, crane and lift plans, access, and temporary power/utilities
Installation Compliance and Deficiency Correction
- Drive and monitor MEP installation compliance with contract documents, approved submittals, manufacturer requirements, applicable codes, and project workmanship standards; identify deficient conditions early, direct trade-partner correction, and prepare work for required independent Quality verification
- Partner with project Quality on First Delivery, Benchmark, in-process, and completion inspections, and drive timely correction of deficiencies and nonconforming work
- Manage MEP construction quality control of trade execution without assuming Quality’s independent conformance-verification function
Commissioning Prerequisites and Field Support
- Drive field completion of MEP installation, testing, documentation, and the trade, vendor, access, and other prerequisites required to support commissioning progression
- Provide and coordinate Operations, trade-partner, vendor, equipment, and field resources required for Suffolk-led commissioning activities through L3, and for project participation in client- and CxA-led L4–L5 testing and turnover
- Drive timely field correction of Cx observations, failed-test causes, incomplete prerequisites, and deficiencies assigned to Operations or trade partners, and restore affected systems to readiness for required retesting
Startup, Energization, and System-State Support
- Incorporate approved EM requirements, energization sequences, isolation constraints, MOP activities, pre-energization requirements, and operational controls into field execution planning
- Coordinate the Operations, trade, vendor, access, manpower, equipment, and field conditions required for execution of approved MOPs; keep field execution aligned with approved sequencing and escalate required deviations before proceeding
- Coordinate and drive the field execution necessary to support approved transitions of systems from construction through startup, testing, and turnover states
- Coordinate Operations and trade execution required to support authorized startup and energization activities
Operations Readiness and Turnover
- Establish and communicate Operations readiness for assigned MEP systems and scopes based on physical completion, trade and vendor preparedness, access, housekeeping, labeling, equipment protection, required field documentation, temporary conditions, and other applicable Operations prerequisites
- Provide the Operations readiness determination required for applicable Quality, Cx, EM, client, and startup/system-state governance checkpoints, and promptly communicate conditions that invalidate or materially change previously reported readiness
- Drive MEP completion, punch, and turnover execution, and provide accurate completion status supporting closeout and owner training
Schedule, Reporting, and Escalation
- Develop and maintain the MEP portions of the construction schedule, short-interval plans, and startup sequencing
- Monitor and report MEP progress, manpower, constraints, and risks; escalate schedule threats, resource shortfalls, and coordination gaps early
- Maintain daily reports, photographic records, and field documentation for MEP scopes
Safety
- Enforce Suffolk’s safety program across MEP activities and drive trade-partner compliance with the hazardous-energy-control, LOTO, and energized-work processes administered by the Energy Marshal (NFPA 70E)
- Verify MEP trade partners field qualified personnel and complete required pre-task planning before high-hazard work, in accordance with the lock/tag/permit and access-control processes administered by the Energy Marshal
- Champion a zero-incident culture and stop any activity presenting an immediate risk to personnel or equipment
Team Leadership
- Direct and develop assigned Assistant MEP Superintendents and MEP field engineers
- Hold MEP trade-partner supervision accountable for safe execution, quality of their own work, and documentation
- Communicate MEP sequencing, priorities, and expectations clearly across the project team

Senior Level Mission Software Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level mission software engineer job?
Employers at this level look for demonstrated ownership of complex, mission-critical systems, not just individual contributions. Candidates who stand out can point to architectural decisions they drove, cross-functional teams they led, and measurable outcomes they delivered. A portfolio of work on safety-critical or high-availability systems, combined with experience mentoring junior engineers, signals readiness for a senior role.
Which companies hire senior level mission software engineers?
Companies hiring senior level mission software engineers right now include Burns & McDonnell, Stantec, and Ryan Companies US, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level tends to come from defense contractors, aerospace primes, and government technology integrators that require deep expertise in mission-critical software development.
Are there remote senior level mission software engineer jobs?
Yes, though clearance requirements and the nature of mission systems mean many roles are on-site or hybrid. About 38% of senior level mission software engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with fully remote positions more common in software-defined or non-classified work streams.
What makes a mission software engineer role senior level?
Senior level mission software engineer roles carry scope and accountability that mid-level positions do not. Expectations typically include owning system architecture across a program, making design decisions that affect reliability and safety, mentoring junior and mid-level engineers, and engaging directly with program leads or customers. The work shifts from executing tasks to setting the technical direction others follow.
Which industries hire the most senior level mission software engineers?
Senior Level mission software engineer roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Construction & Real Estate, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because their systems, whether for defense, space, or critical infrastructure, demand the kind of reliability, security, and regulatory compliance that only experienced engineers are equipped to lead.
