MEP Traveling Project Manager

FCL

MEP Project Manager

Build More Than Just Buildings—Build Your Career.

At FCL, we don't just build buildings, we build communities, careers, relationships, and trust. As an MEP Project Manager, you'll play a critical role in delivering complex, mission-critical data center projects. You'll lead field execution, coordinate highly technical MEP systems, and ensure every phase of construction is completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards.

If you thrive in fast-paced, high-spec environments and love turning complex plans into reality, this is your opportunity to make an impact.

Why Join FCL Builders?
  • Build What Powers the Economy: Lead mission-critical data center projects that support manufacturing, logistics, ecommerce, and data infrastructure nationwide.
  • Become an Employee Owner: As an ESOP company, your work directly contributes to our shared success.
  • Own the Outcome: Take the lead on complex MEP-heavy projects from preconstruction through commissioning.
  • Grow With Us: We are expanding rapidly in Data Center and Mission Critical sectors, creating strong advancement opportunities for proven leaders.
  • Supportive, High-Performance Culture: We believe in accountability, collaboration, and backing each other up.
  • Great People, Great Workplace: FCL is proud to be Great Place to Work® Certified for 2025 — because our culture is intentional and our people come first.

What You'll Do

  • Lead complex, mission-critical data center projects from preconstruction through final turnover and commissioning.
  • Serve as the primary liaison between clients, design teams, field leadership, and executive stakeholders.
  • Manage multimillion-dollar budgets, cost forecasting, billing, and change order processes.
  • Develop and maintain detailed project schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) with strong critical path focus.
  • Oversee coordination of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, low-voltage, and building automation systems.
  • Lead Owner/Architect/Contractor (OAC) meetings and provide executive-level reporting.
  • Drive commissioning and Integrated Systems Testing (IST) to ensure all systems meet performance and redundancy requirements.
  • Mentor Project Engineers and Assistant Project Managers, building the next generation of leaders.
  • Champion safety and ensure compliance with OSHA and client-specific requirements.

What We're Looking For

  • 10+ years of commercial construction experience, including 5+ years in a Project Management role.
  • 3–5 years managing large-scale data center or mission-critical projects.
  • Deep technical expertise in MEP systems, power infrastructure, and critical redundancy environments.
  • Strong financial acumen with experience managing large budgets and cost controls.
  • Proven leadership presence with strong client-facing communication skills.
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field (or equivalent experience).

Preferred:

  • OSHA 30 Certification.
  • Proficiency in Procore, Bluebeam, BIM platforms, Primavera P6/MS Project, and Microsoft Office Suite.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and performance-based bonus structure
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
  • Career development and mentorship programs
  • Comprehensive and competitive benefits (health, dental, vision, and more)
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • An inclusive, collaborative culture where your voice matters
