Mechanical QCX Superintendent

The Mechanical QCX Superintendent is responsible for leading mechanical quality control and commissioning execution on a data center construction project. This role bridges construction and commissioning by ensuring mechanical systems are installed correctly, tested thoroughly, and turned over in a fully operational, code-compliant condition.

The Mechanical QCX Superintendent provides day-to-day leadership of mechanical QCx activities in the field, coordinating closely with mechanical contractors, controls teams, commissioning authorities, and operations stakeholders. This position is ideal for a mechanically inclined construction professional with hands-on trade management experience who is ready to step into a leadership role focused on quality, performance, and system readiness.

Responsibilities:

• Provide overall leadership for mechanical quality control and commissioning (QCx) activities, ensuring mechanical systems are installed, tested, and commissioned in accordance with design intent, client requirements, and project standards.


• Plan, coordinate, and oversee mechanical commissioning execution from construction completion through pre-functional checks, functional performance testing, and system turnover.


• Lead and manage Mechanical QCx Engineers, Leads, and Inspectors, ensuring consistent application of QCx processes across all mechanical scopes.


• Oversee QCx activities for:




• Process Mechanical & High-Purity Piping Systems


• Exhaust Systems, Scrubbers, and Abatement Equipment


• HVAC, Mechanical Utilities, and Plumbing Systems


• Mechanical Equipment Installation, Startup, and Alignment




• Develop, review, and approve QCx plans, commissioning procedures, checklists, and test scripts for mechanical systems.


• Ensure proper execution of field verification, walkdowns, pressure testing, flushing, leak testing, balancing, and functional testing.


• Coordinate with construction, commissioning, controls, and operations teams to resolve installation and performance issues.


• Validate system performance including flow, pressure, temperature, redundancy, alarms, interlocks, and fail-safe operation.


• Support and lead Integrated System Testing (IST) where mechanical systems interface with controls, exhaust safety systems, and process tools.


• Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and client specifications, including ASHRAE, ASME, SMACNA, SEMI, NFPA, and local AHJ requirements.


• Track, manage, and drive closure of QCx issues, deficiencies, and punch list items, ensuring timely resolution and documentation.


• Maintain accurate QCx documentation, including test results, redlines, as-built verification, and turnover packages.


• Participate in startup readiness reviews, cutover planning, and operational handoff, ensuring systems are stable and operationally ready.


• Serve as the primary mechanical QCx interface with the client, commissioning authority, and third-party reviewers.


• Enforce EHS, LOTO, and safe commissioning practices throughout all mechanical QCx activities.


• Monitor and report QCx performance metrics, schedule impacts, and risk mitigation strategies to project leadership.


• Lead lessons learned and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance mechanical QCx execution on future projects.


• Any other duties or responsibilities that may be assigned to you in your role.
