  • Track and manage MEP-related costs, change orders, and budget impacts, working closely with project leadership to maintain financial performance.
  • Support commissioning activities, including pre-functional and functional testing, issue resolution, and turnover documentation.
  • Assist in identifying and mitigating risks related to MEP systems, including long-lead equipment, constructability challenges, and system integration.
  • Maintain strong communication with internal teams, subcontractors, and stakeholders to ensure alignment and successful project delivery.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ years of experience in construction project management with a strong focus on MEP scopes.
  • Experience supporting mission critical / data center projects strongly preferred.
  • Solid understanding of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems, including coordination and commissioning processes.
