• We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) systems within data centre construction projects, with a focus on mechanical installations, HVAC, cooling and piping systems.
• Experience with MEP coordination, installation supervision, testing and commissioning is highly relevant.
• Assignments are primarily site-based.
• LOCATION Project-based across Norway
• Rotation according to Project requirements.

• Mechanical equipment: installation and alignment of pumps, motors and other rotating equipment; lifting equipment, vibration isolation, flexible connections, mechanical insulation and equipment supports.
• Piping and building services: domestic water, drainage and heating systems; pipe routing, fixings, thermal insulation, equipment connections, pressure testing and penetrations.
• Critical cooling: chillers, chilled-water networks, CRAH/CRAC units, free cooling, pumps and heat exchangers; cooling redundancy and quality follow-up of welding and NDT.
• Ventilation and HVAC: air handling units, ductwork, air balancing, comfort cooling, fire dampers, condensation drainage and interfaces with controls and building systems.

• Monitor mechanical installation, workmanship, progress and QA/QC in your area of expertise, including the performance of subcontractors and suppliers.
• Verify installations against approved drawings, BIM models, specifications, inspection and test plans (ITPs), and project requirements.
• Inspect equipment positioning, alignment, torque records, supports, tolerances, vibration isolation, insulation and sealing where relevant.
• Follow up relevant tests such as pressure and leak testing, flushing, cleaning, vibration measurements, airflow balancing and functional verification.
• Review inspection records, FAT/SAT documentation, test reports, welding procedures and NDT results where applicable to the discipline.
• Record and close out non-conformances, technical queries, punch items and outstanding quality documentation.
• Coordinate mechanical interfaces with electrical, automation/BMS, fire protection, civil works and other installation teams.
• Support pre-commissioning, commissioning, integrated systems testing and structured handover to the client.

• Engineering degree, technical college qualification, or relevant trade background in mechanical engineering, HVAC, refrigeration, piping or building services.
• Documented project experience from data centres is required.
• Proven technical competence in at least one relevant area: mechanical equipment, piping, cooling or ventilation.
• Experience with site supervision, QA/QC, technical coordination, completion or commissioning of complex mechanical systems.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications, inspection plans, testing procedures and supplier documentation.
• Experience in multidisciplinary projects and coordination with suppliers and contractors is an advantage.
