• Monitor schedule and productivity, escalating risks or issues to project leadership.
• Drive daily safety meetings and ensure subcontractors follow all site EHS protocols.
• Assist commissioning agents during startup, functional testing, and turnover activities.
• Maintain accurate field documentation, progress reports, and as-built tracking.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of experience in field supervision of controls, automation, or low-voltage system installations.
• Background in data centers, semiconductor, industrial, or large-scale MEP projects.
• Hands-on knowledge of I&C and BMS installations, including cabling, device terminations, panel wiring, and equipment interfaces.
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, wiring diagrams, schematics, and one-lines.
• Strong communication skills to coordinate between subcontractors, engineers, and commissioning teams.
• Familiarity with construction management tools (Procore, Bluebeam, MS Office).

Preferred
