MEP Project Manager

Stratum is working with a national General Contractor with a strong track record in data center construction.

This hire will sit in the MEP team and own the low-voltage package: fire alarm, telecom/structured cabling, and related systems. You'll work alongside the Superintendent to run your scope like a project in its own right, covering safety, budget, schedule, trade contractors and close out.

Responsibilities:

• Managing the low-voltage scope (fire alarm, telecom and associated systems) across one or more buildings
• Leading trade contractor buy-out: scope matrices, bid reviews, letters of intent and contract management
• Running submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, ASIs and change orders, and keeping project logs current
• Tracking procurement through approval, fabrication and delivery
• Building and updating the schedule with the Superintendent
• Owning cost codes, budgets, forecasts, cash flow, pay applications and lien waivers for your scope
• Running progress meetings with the owner, design team and trade partners, and producing the minutes
• Driving quality, commissioning readiness and close-out documentation (O&Ms, warranties), with a zero punch list mindset
• Reviewing drawings for constructability and cost, and supporting preconstruction and risk assessments

Requirements:

• 5+ years as a Project Manager in commercial, industrial or mission-critical construction
• Hands-on experience managing low-voltage scopes: fire alarm, telecom/structured cabling, security or similar
• GC or electrical/low-voltage contractor background
• Working knowledge of CMR and Design-Build delivery
• Comfortable with Procore, Bluebeam, P6/MS Project and cost control tools
• OSHA 30, or willing to obtain it
• Data center experience is a plus but not essential
• Comfortable with a rotational schedule, travel and working through a northern winter climate

Total Compensation: $250,000-280,000
