Samet's Greensboro office is seeking an MEP technical expert to manage the complete lifecycle of highly complex mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in mission-critical environments - from pre-construction and design-assist through commissioning and turnover on our most technically demanding projects.
This is not a standard commercial construction role. As MEP Manager, you'll be the single point of accountability for delivering these projects. You'll own the full lifecycle of complex MEP systems, from pre-construction and design-assist through energization, commissioning, and turnover.
What You'll Do- Provide single-point leadership for all MEP-related activities, serving as the primary expert and point of contact for the owner, engineers, design partners, and specialty trade partners.
- Lead MEP design-assist, value engineering, and constructability reviews.
- Develop and manage detailed MEP budgets and schedules, identifying long-lead equipment and critical-path risk.
- Manage all financial aspects of the MEP scope ($50M+), including cost control, change order management, and monthly forecasting.
- Proactively identify and mitigate risks related to system integration, operational shutdowns, energization, and commissioning.
- Support the BIM/VDC coordination process, ensuring all systems are 100% clash-detected and coordinated for pre-fabrication and installation.
- Oversee the full QA/QC program and manage the commissioning (Cx) process - from factory witness tests through functional performance testing and Integrated Systems Testing (IST).
- Champion a zero-incident safety culture with heightened focus on the unique risks of critical environments (e.g., arc flash, energization protocols, infection control).
What You BringRequired
- 10+ years of project management experience, including at least 5 years in a lead role managing large, complex MEP scopes ($50M+ in MEP value).
- Expert-level command of project controls, scheduling (P6), cost management, and contract negotiation.
- A valid driver's license.
Preferred
- Experience with large-scale modular/pre-fabricated MEP systems.
What We OfferAs a member of the Samet team, you can expect generous paid time off, parental leave, comprehensive benefits coverage (HSA and traditional), a great team and culture, tuition reimbursement, wellness rewards, a 401(k) with company match, and long- and short-term disability.
