MEP Installation Lead

About Mavria

Mavria’s mission is to build the industrial capacity America needs to lead in AI. We believe that sustaining America’s AI leadership requires an unprecedented expansion of power, manufacturing, supply chains and physical infrastructure.

Our founders are serial entrepreneurs who met at the U.S. Department of Energy, working on some of the country’s hardest energy and infrastructure projects. There, they saw a widening gap: AI labs and cloud providers were racing to scale compute, while the infrastructure underneath them was still built one custom project at a time, on timelines measured in years.

We founded Mavria to close that gap. We are building to industrialize intelligence: turning the physical infrastructure AI runs on into products we manufacture, deploy and improve with every build.

We’re starting with data centers. Our first product, Terrain, is a factory-built data center platform. Terrain 01 is being built in Houston now, and we’ve raised $130M as of October 2026 to accelerate our roadmap.

Terrain is our first product, not the limit of our ambition. We intend to eliminate the physical bottlenecks that constrain American AI leadership and build one of the foundational infrastructure companies of the AI era.

How we build

At Mavria, three principles guide how we work:

• Ambition: We want to build a generational company. To do that, we build capabilities, not just products. Terrain is our first product, not our last – and we seek to eliminate strategic bottlenecks across the entire AI supply chain.

• Urgency: AI moves in weeks, while infrastructure tends to move in years. We match the frontier’s pace by making decisions quickly, building in parallel and securing critical supply ahead of demand. We surface problems early and never compromise on safety or engineering rigor.

• Ownership: When we say we’ll do something, we do it. Keeping our word is how we stand apart, and taking radical ownership over our scope and our domain is how we build trust – internally and externally – while moving fast.

Role scope

As our first in-house MEP field leader, you’ll own the mechanical, electrical and plumbing installation that turns each Terrain unit from a structural shell into a working, energized system. You’ll lead installation across our fabrication and integration facilities, support each deployment in the field, and set the installation standard every future site follows. You will:

• Lead the field: Direct MEP subcontractors and installation crews across our fabrication yards, integration facilities and deployment sites, and hold them to schedule, quality and safety standards.

• Install the power and building systems: Oversee installation of electrical distribution, switchgear, battery energy storage, backup power, cooling, controls and fire protection.

• Catch problems before the build: Review MEP drawings, one-lines, P&IDs, specifications and submittals for constructability and sequencing, and feed issues back to engineering.

• Plan the sequence: Build installation sequences and look-ahead schedules that fit the manufacturing program, and coordinate equipment deliveries, long-lead items and field changes with project management and procurement.

• Get every unit ready to energize: Verify installs against design, work with quality on inspections, punch lists and turnover packages, and support our integration and commissioning partners through loop checks, energization and startup.

• Make it repeatable: Turn each build into installation standards, checklists and work packs, and enforce safe work practices, including LOTO and electrical safety.

What we're looking for

For this role, we’re looking for an experienced MEP superintendent with the following qualities:

• Field-proven: You have 10+ years in MEP installation, including at least 5 as a superintendent or lead MEP field role on mission-critical, data center, power, energy storage or large industrial projects.

• Electrically deep: You know medium- and low-voltage distribution, switchgear, UPS and battery systems, generators and controls, and you read one-lines and P&IDs with ease.

• Commissioning-literate: You’ve supported commissioning from installation checks through energization and startup, and you know the commissioning levels.

• In command of subs: You direct crews you don’t employ, and you know how to get a subcontractor who is behind or cutting corners back on track.

• Hands-on: You lead from the field, build standards and process yourself, and are comfortable with frequent travel to yards and sites.

Experience with modular, skid, e-house or prefabricated builds is especially relevant, as are NEC and NFPA 70E knowledge, OSHA 30, an electrical or mechanical trade background, and Spanish. We value ability over years or titles.

To apply: Share your background and the largest electrical scope you ran as superintendent, including the voltage, equipment and number of subcontractors.
