OFCI Manager (Electrical & Mechanical) (Mission Critical)

Clark Construction Group, LLC•Reno, NV

About The Position

The OFCI (Owner Furnished, Contractor Installed) Manager oversees the end-to-end lifecycle of owner-provided equipment for mission-critical construction. The role connects logistics, technical commissioning, and relationship management to ensure high-value electrical and mechanical equipment is ready to receive, install, and energize at the site without delaying the critical path. Equipment includes switchgear, generators, UPS units, chillers, and CRAH units. The manager is the primary technical liaison among the client’s procurement team, equipment vendors, and onsite MEP trade partners. The role coordinates equipment from factory testing through delivery, installation, startup, commissioning, and handover, including equipment tracking, technical review, quality inspections, schedule integration, risk mitigation, asset tracking, and spare-parts handoff. This is an active, hands-on position with frequent time on construction sites and some office work. The employee must adapt to weather, moderate to loud noise, elevated or confined areas, and moving mechanical equipment, and follow company safety policies and applicable laws. The role requires flexibility for extended hours during critical project phases or client deadlines, and responsiveness to time-sensitive matters and emergencies outside regular hours. A pre-employment drug fitness-for-duty screening and random quarterly tests are required.

Requirements

5–8 years of experience in mission-critical construction.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Construction Management.
Deep understanding of medium- and low-voltage switchgear, UPS systems, static transfer switches, and backup generators.
Proficiency in chilled water systems, cooling towers, CRAH/CRAC units, and DCIM integration.
