About the role

I'm partnering with one of the fastest-growing companies in the AI infrastructure and data center market as they build out their construction team across the US.They're delivering an enormous pipeline of high-density, mission-critical data center projects and are looking for experienced Construction Superintendents to take ownership of field execution. These are major, technically complex projects where speed, quality and execution matter.
The Role: You'll be the boots-on-the-ground construction leader, responsible for driving daily field operations and keeping the project moving, you'll:
  • Run day-to-day field execution on major data center projects
  • Coordinate subcontractors and sequence multiple trades
  • Drive daily production against aggressive project schedules
  • Walk the site continuously and remove blockers before they impact crews
  • Manage RFIs, materials, access and inspections from the field
  • Maintain rigorous safety and quality standards
  • Coordinate heavily across MEP, CSA and critical infrastructure packages
  • Work closely with commissioning teams to ensure systems are completed in the correct sequence for startup
  • Drive punch list, completion and turnover through to final handover
What We're Looking For: We're looking for experienced field leaders who have successfully delivered complex projects within:
  • Data Centers / Mission Critical
  • Heavy Industrial
  • Advanced Manufacturing / Semiconductor

Experience with data center MEP systems, modular construction, commissioning and turnover is highly desirable. Current projects include locations across Texas, Louisiana, Indiana and New York. Why Consider It? You'll be joining a heavily funded, rapidly scaling organization building infrastructure at the intersection of AI, energy and construction. This isn't about maintaining an existing portfolio. They're building a national construction platform designed to deliver major data center projects repeatedly and at enormous scale. What's on offer?

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
