About The Position

Applied Digital is seeking a field-focused TFO Superintendent to provide daily owner-side oversight and coordination for Tenant Fit-Out (TFO) construction at an active data center campus. As Applied Digital’s field execution leader for assigned scopes, the Superintendent is accountable for field readiness, trade coordination, installation sequencing, quality execution, turnover preparation, and short-interval production goals supporting project milestones.

The TFO Superintendent coordinates with general contractor field leadership, trade partners, Commissioning, Safety, Design, Operations, equipment vendors, and tenant representatives to ensure work is sequenced, installed, documented, and turned over according to project requirements. The position ensures daily field execution supports the approved weekly schedule, quality standards, safe operations, and tenant-readiness milestones. This is an onsite, campus-based role. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, or alternate shifts may be required depending on project execution needs. Periodic travel may be required for vendor inspections, coordination, or support at other campuses.
