  • Safety Leadership

  • Promote a strong jobsite safety culture in coordination with EHS staff.
  • Enforce safety protocols related to hot work, confined space entry, fall protection, and system flushing / testing.
  • Conduct daily toolbox talks and ensure subcontractor compliance with all project safety procedures.
  • Documentation & Communication

  • Maintain daily reports on crew activities, progress, inspections, and safety issues.
  • Collaborate with the field engineering and document control teams to manage RFIs, field changes, and as-built drawings.
  • Participate in coordination and OAC meetings, communicating clearly with project managers and trade partners.
  • Qualifications

    Required Qualifications :

  • 7+ years of field experience in plumbing and / or fire protection construction, with 3+ years in a supervisory or superintendent role.

  • Experience on large commercial or mission-critical projects such as data centers, hospitals, labs or large industrial.
  • Ability to read and interpret plumbing / fire drawings, specifications, shop drawings, and isometric diagrams.
  • Familiarity with applicable codes and standards including IPC, UPC, NFPA 13, 14, 20, and local building regulations.
