MEP Manager

Job Description

Job Description

Samet's Greensboro office is seeking an MEP technical expert to manage the complete lifecycle of highly complex mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in mission-critical environments — from pre-construction and design-assist through commissioning and turnover on our most technically demanding projects.

This is not a standard commercial construction role. As MEP Manager, you'll be the single point of accountability for delivering these projects. You'll own the full lifecycle of complex MEP systems, from pre-construction and design-assist through energization, commissioning, and turnover.

What You'll Do

• Provide single-point leadership for all MEP-related activities, serving as the primary expert and point of contact for the owner, engineers, design partners, and specialty trade partners.
• Lead MEP design-assist, value engineering, and constructability reviews.
• Develop and manage detailed MEP budgets and schedules, identifying long-lead equipment and critical-path risk.
• Manage all financial aspects of the MEP scope ($50M+), including cost control, change order management, and monthly forecasting.
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks related to system integration, operational shutdowns, energization, and commissioning.
• Support the BIM/VDC coordination process, ensuring all systems are 100% clash-detected and coordinated for pre-fabrication and installation.
• Oversee the full QA/QC program and manage the commissioning (Cx) process — from factory witness tests through functional performance testing and Integrated Systems Testing (IST).
• Champion a zero-incident safety culture with heightened focus on the unique risks of critical environments (e.g., arc flash, energization protocols, infection control).

What You Bring

Required

• 10+ years of project management experience, including at least 5 years in a lead role managing large, complex MEP scopes ($50M+ in MEP value).
• Expert-level command of project controls, scheduling (P6), cost management, and contract negotiation.
• A valid driver's license.

Preferred

• Experience with large-scale modular/pre-fabricated MEP systems.
