MEP Lead – Data Centre Construction

MEP Lead – Data Centre Construction

Location: Fyresdal, Norway

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on MEP Lead to oversee the delivery of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing works on a major data centre construction project in Fyresdal.

You will lead and coordinate MEP activities on site, ensuring all installations meet design specifications, quality standards, safety requirements, and project schedules. Working closely with Project Managers, engineers, subcontractors, and commissioning teams, you will manage interfaces between disciplines, resolve technical and construction challenges, and drive progress through to successful commissioning and handover.

This is a site-based leadership role requiring strong technical understanding, practical construction experience, and the ability to take ownership of multidisciplinary MEP delivery.

What You'll Do

You will oversee MEP construction activities, ensuring that mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations are properly coordinated and delivered in line with approved drawings, specifications, and project requirements.

You will work closely with subcontractors and discipline leads to manage construction sequencing, resources, site access, technical interfaces, and progress.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading and coordinating MEP construction activities across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing disciplines.

• Managing MEP subcontractors, supervisors, and technical teams to ensure safe and efficient project execution.

• Coordinating HVAC, cooling systems, piping, power distribution, controls, and other building services installations.

• Monitoring construction progress, identifying risks, and implementing corrective actions to maintain project schedules.

• Managing interfaces between MEP disciplines, CSA works, design teams, and commissioning activities.

• Reviewing technical drawings, specifications, installation methods, and construction documentation.

• Supporting QA/QC inspections, resolving non-conformances, and ensuring compliance with project quality requirements.

• Ensuring HSE standards are consistently followed across all MEP activities.

• Coordinating mechanical completion, testing, commissioning readiness, and handover.

Who We're Looking For

You have a strong background in MEP construction management, with experience delivering complex mechanical and electrical systems on large-scale construction projects.

You understand how different building services interact and have the leadership skills to coordinate multiple subcontractors and disciplines simultaneously. You are proactive, solution-oriented, and comfortable taking responsibility for construction progress, quality, and technical coordination.

Qualifications & Skills:

• Degree or technical qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Building Services, or a related discipline.

• 7+ years of relevant experience in MEP construction, including site coordination or management responsibilities.

• Proven experience managing multidisciplinary MEP installations and subcontractors on large-scale construction projects.

• Strong understanding of HVAC, cooling systems, piping, electrical infrastructure, and building services interfaces.

• Experience with construction planning, sequencing, progress monitoring, and technical problem-solving.

• Good understanding of QA/QC procedures, HSE requirements, and construction documentation.

• Experience supporting testing, commissioning, mechanical completion, and handover.

• Familiarity with construction management and coordination tools is an advantage.

• Fluent English, both written and spoken.

• Strong leadership, communication, and organisational skills.

Data centre experience is highly desirable, although candidates with strong transferable experience from large industrial, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, energy, or other technically complex construction projects are also encouraged to apply.

Why Join Us?

• Work on a major data centre development in Norway.

• Take ownership of multidisciplinary MEP construction delivery.

• Collaborate with experienced international construction and engineering teams.
