About the role The Site Superintendent will serve as Armada's on-site lead during the installation, startup, and commissioning phases of the Leviathan data center, driving the facility to Ready for Service (RFS). This role bridges traditional construction site management with data center startup and commissioning expertise, acting as the primary point of coordination between the customer's General Contractor (GC) and subcontracted trades, Armada's own subcontractors and trades, and the Commissioning Authority (CxA) team. The ideal candidate combines a strong construction management background with hands-on experience bringing mission-critical or industrial facilities from substantial completion through commissioning to RFS. Location This is an on-site, field-based role located at the Leviathan data center project site [TBD] for the duration of installation, startup, and commissioning. Must be able to walk active construction sites, climb ladders/stairs, and work in mechanical/electrical spaces under construction; PPE required at all times. Schedule may require extended hours, weekend work, and short-notice availability during critical energization and testing windows to support RFS milestones. Travel requirements: [TBD] What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities) Site Coordination & Construction Management Serve as Armada's primary on-site point of contact, coordinating daily activities across the customer's GC, GC-managed subcontractors, and Armada's own subcontracted trades. Develop, maintain, and enforce integrated site logistics plans, look-ahead schedules, and work sequencing across multiple concurrent trade crews. Chair or participate in daily and weekly coordination meetings (OAC meetings, trade stacking, site safety huddles) to align GC, subcontractor, and commissioning schedules. Identify and resolve field conflicts — space, sequencing, access, utility tie-ins — before they impact schedule. Track and drive closure of punch lists, RFIs, and deficiency logs tied to startup readiness. Maintain daily site reports, photo documentation, and progress logs for internal and customer stakeholders. Commissioning Coordination (Path to RFS) Serve as the field liaison to the Commissioning Authority (CxA), ensuring construction completion aligns with the Level 1–5 commissioning sequence. Coordinate system turnover packages, startup sequencing, and system-by-system readiness with mechanical, electrical, controls, and fire/life safety trades. Support and track execution of pre-functional checklists, functional performance testing (FPT), and integrated systems testing (IST). Escalate and manage resolution of commissioning-driven punch items, ensuring trades remobilize quickly to close gaps. Partner with the CxA, engineers of record, and OEM startup technicians to sequence equipment energization, startup, and testing safely and efficiently. Maintain visibility into the…
