MEP Project Manager Data Center

Job Description

Owner’s Representative - Mission Critical / Data Center

North Kansas City, MO

Immediate Start | Zero Travel | Relocation Support Available

Are you ready to step into a role where your expertise directly shapes one of the most advanced mission‑critical facilities in the region? Our client, one of the most respected and forward‑thinking firms in the data center and high‑performance infrastructure space is expanding their on‑site leadership team in North Kansas City.

This isn’t just another construction oversight role. It’s an opportunity to represent the owner on one of the most technically demanding facility types in the world where precision, resiliency, and operational readiness are non‑negotiable.

The Opportunity

As the Owner’s Representative, you will be the driving force ensuring that all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, controls, and integrated systems are designed, installed, commissioned, and delivered to the highest performance standards.

No travel. No rotating sites.

Just one major data center, one high‑performing team, and the chance to leave a lasting legacy.

What You’ll Lead

• Full lifecycle oversight: planning, design, construction, commissioning, and turnover.
• On‑site leadership, decision‑making, and issue resolution with autonomy and trust.
• Coordination among GC, trades, engineers, local authorities, and the owner’s leadership team.
• Schedule oversight, budget stewardship, contract enforcement, and quality assurance.
• Mission‑critical MEP review, including DC/AC power, cooling systems, controls, and documentation.
• Risk identification and mitigation, backed by your technical judgment and field experience.
• Ensuring all systems meet operability, maintainability, and performance requirements.
• Leveraging modern digital tools and emerging AI workflows to elevate consistency and efficiency.

What You Bring

• 10+ years in construction project management, including 5+ years in mission‑critical or data centers.
• Deep technical understanding of MEP systems, commissioning, power systems, and QA/QC.
• Strong command of project documentation, contracts, change management, and scheduling tools (MS Project, P6).
• Ability to communicate confidently with technical and non‑technical teams, representing the owner with clarity and professionalism.
• Experience using Procore and modern construction technology; comfort adopting new digital and AI‑based tools.
• A mindset that combines leadership, problem‑solving, and calm decision‑making in high‑stakes environments.

Location & Lifestyle

• On‑site in North Kansas City, MO no travel required.
• Ideal for candidates seeking stability and long‑term presence at a single mission‑critical location.
• Relocation assistance available for those looking to move within 1–3 months.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on one of the region’s most advanced mission‑critical facilities.
• Direct visibility with high‑level stakeholders your expertise is valued and trusted.
• Competitive compensation, robust benefits, paid development opportunities, and a culture that invests in its people.
• A long‑established, industry‑leading client with an exceptional reputation in data center delivery.

If you want to be the owner’s voice on a high‑specification, high‑impact mission‑critical program and you’re motivated by technical challenge, autonomy, and the chance to shape a world‑class data center this is for you.
