About The Position

Overwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor services for the mission-critical infrastructure industry. Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's a purpose. The MEP Project Manager will oversee the full lifecycle delivery of all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems across a large-scale, multi-phase hyperscale data center campus. This includes managing design coordination, procurement, construction, commissioning, and turnover of critical infrastructure systems that support high-availability operations. The role will have a strong focus on mechanical yard and exterior infrastructure, including installation and integration of major equipment such as generators, chillers, cooling systems, fuel systems, and associated distribution networks. The Project Manager will coordinate closely with General Contractors, MEP trade partners, and engineers to ensure seamless execution of both indoor and outdoor systems. Responsibilities also include managing project schedules, budgets, RFIs, submittals, and change orders, while ensuring all systems meet strict mission-critical standards for redundancy, reliability, and performance. This position requires heavy cross-functional coordination to support phased construction and successful commissioning of complex MEP systems across the campus.
