Full Job Description
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.

Key Responsibilities
  • Procurement & Logistics Tracking: Maintain the Master Equipment Log. Monitor factory production dates and coordinate "Just-In-Time" delivery to avoid site congestion or double-handling.
  • Technical Vetting: Review submittals and shop drawings to ensure OFCI equipment footprints, weights, and connection points match the GC's onsite MEP coordination drawings.
  • QA/QC & Receiving: 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.
  • Vendor Management: Act as the onsite point of contact for vendor technicians during the installation and "Startup" phases of specialized equipment.
  • Schedule Integration: Work with the Project Scheduler to integrate equipment lead times and commissioning windows into the construction schedule.
  • Risk Mitigation: 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).
  • VDC/BIM Integration: Participate in Customer's "Virtual Design and Construction" meetings to ensure the OFCI equipment matches the physical reality of the site's "phased" builds.
  • Custom Skids & Containerized Solutions: Manage the receipt of modularized units (e.g., Power Skids or pre-fabricated Cooling Blocks) that require precision rigging and specialized grounding.
  • Proprietary Asset Tracking: 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.
  • Cx (Commissioning) Leadership: 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.
  • Warranty & Spares Lifecycle: Oversee the hand-off of "Capital Spares" (critical parts sent by customer) to the Operations team post-handover.


Candidate Requirements

Technical Expertise
  • Electrical: Deep understanding of MV/LV Switchgear, UPS systems, STS (Static Transfer Switches), and Backup Generators.
  • Mechanical: Proficiency in Chilled Water Systems, Cooling Towers, CRAH/CRAC units, and DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) integration.
  • Software: Proficiency in BIM 360/Procore and scheduling software (Primavera P6 or MS Project).


Experience & Education
  • Years of Experience: 5-8 years in mission critical construction.
  • Education: Bachelor's Degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, or Construction Management.


Certifications: PMP or LEED AP is a plus.

The work environment and requirements described below are representative of those necessary for an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this role.

The Physical Side of the Role:This is an active, hands-on role. You can expect to be on your feet frequently, navigating active job sites with uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, and hoists. The work is physically demanding and requires a full range of motion, including bending, kneeling, and reaching. You'll need to be comfortable frequently lifting and carrying materials up to 25 pounds, and occasionally up to 50 pounds. This role requires the ability to communicate effectively, as well as visual acuity for reading plans and inspecting work. The role does include desk time in the office that may require prolonged periods of sitting for tasks like computer work, document review, and meetings.

Your Work Environment:You'll spend a significant amount of your time on active construction sites, which means being adaptable to all kinds of weather and moderate to loud noise levels, and comfortable in elevated or confined work areas with moving mechanical equipment and with the fast-paced nature of a project in progress. You will also spend time in a typical office setting with moderate noise levels. Your safety is our top priority, and you'll be expected to follow Clark Construction's safety policies and procedures, and all applicable laws, at all locations.
