What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior MEP Project Manager position at Samet?
Samet's Greensboro office is seeking a MEP technical expert who can manage the complete lifecycle of highly complex mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in mission-critical environments. Responsibilities span from pre-construction and design-assist through commissioning and turnover of technically demanding projects.
The Role
As a Senior MEP Project Manager, you will be the main point of accountability for the successful delivery of our most technically demanding projects. This is not a standard commercial construction role. You are an MEP expert first and a project manager second.
You will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of complex MEP systems, from pre-construction and design-assist to energization, commissioning, and turnover.
Core Responsibilities
- Leadership: Provide single-point leadership for all MEP-related activities, serving as the primary expert and point of contact for the owner, engineers, design partners, and specialty trade partners.
- Pre-Construction & Design: Lead MEP design-assist, value engineering, and constructability reviews. Develop and manage detailed MEP budgets and schedules, identifying long-lead equipment and critical path risk.
- Financial Management: Manage all financial aspects of the MEP scope ($50M ), including cost control, change order management, and monthly forecasting.
- Risk Management: Proactively identify and mitigate risks related to system integration, operational shutdowns, energization, and commissioning.
- Technical Coordination: Support the BIM/VDC coordination process, ensuring all systems are 100% clash-detected and coordinated for pre-fabrication and installation.
- Commissioning & Quality: Oversee the entire QA/QC program and manage the commissioning (Cx) process, from factory witness tests to functional performance testing and Integrated Systems Testing (IST).
- Safety & Compliance: Champion a zero-incident safety culture with a heightened focus on the unique risks of critical environments (e.g., arc flash, energization protocols, infection control).
Required Qualifications & The Intricacies We Value
- 10 years of project management experience, with at least 5 years in a lead role managing large, complex MEP scopes (MEP values of $50M ).
- Expert-level understanding of project controls, scheduling (P6), cost management, and contract negotiation.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with large-scale modular/pre-fabricated MEP systems
- Valid Driver's License
