ABOUT THE ROLE
The Superintendent, Mechanical leads mechanical and cooling-systems field execution for a new data center build - owning day-to-day site operations for this scope in a high-stakes, mission-critical environment. Reporting to the Construction Manager and Director, Construction, this role drives schedule, coordinates trades, and enforces safety and quality from mobilization through turnover. Superintendents are the standard on a Hut 8 site: what you walk past, you approve.
Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:
Mechanical & Cooling Systems
Supervise installation of chilled water plants, air and liquid cooling systems, CRAH/CDU equipment, heat rejection, and piping and insulation. Manage pipe flushing, pressure testing, and cleanliness protocols - contamination in a critical cooling loop is a commissioning-stopping event.
Hydronic Systems & Balancing
Own hydronic system installation and balancing: pumps, valves, strainers, and controls interfaces. Verify flow, pressure, and temperature performance against design intent before systems are turned over for commissioning.
Equipment Receiving & Rigging
Coordinate receiving, offload, and rigging of major mechanical equipment - chillers, CRAHs, CDUs, pumps, and cooling towers - with the Materials Manager and Logistics & Expediting Manager. Verify equipment condition, storage, and preservation requirements are met before installation.
Trade Sequencing in Dense Space
Own mechanical trade stacking and sequencing across white space, galleries, and mechanical yards. Run BIM-supported coordination in the field with electrical and controls trades and resolve clashes before they're installed clashes.
Commissioning Handoff
Drive completion of installation checklists and prerequisites supporting Level 1-3 commissioning, and support Cx execution through Levels 4-5 with the CXQC Field Manager and Mechanical SME - your installation quality is the Cx schedule's foundation.
Safety & Quality Enforcement
Enforce mechanical safety practices - pressure testing controls, rigging and lifting operations, and confined-space entry where applicable - and hold mechanical trade partners to first-time quality with documented QC.
Planning, Documentation & Issues
Own the mechanical three-week look-ahead, daily coordination, and progress reporting. Drive mechanical RFIs and field issues to closure with the Project Engineer (MEP) and discipline engineers, and keep test records and as-builts current as systems complete.
ABOUT YOU
What we're looking for:
- 7+ years supervising mechanical trades on data center, semiconductor, hospital, or heavy industrial projects; mission-critical strongly preferred.
- Working knowledge of chilled water plants, air and liquid cooling systems, and hydronic distribution, including testing and start-up practices.
- Experience driving Level 1-5 commissioning prerequisites and turnover documentation inside a live Cx program.
- Strong trade-sequencing instincts in congested, schedule-critical space; fluent in look-ahead planning and manpower loading.
- Pipe cleanliness, flushing, and pressure-test discipline for critical hydronic systems.
- Safety leadership including rigging, lifting, and confined-space operations; OSHA 30 preferred.
- Comfortable with Procore/ACC, BIM field use, and full mechanical drawing packages.
- Clear documentation habits: dailies, QC records, and test documentation.
