Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire MEP QA/QC Managers who own electrical and mechanical quality end to end — ITPs across both disciplines, weld and termination inspection, NETA and pressure-test oversight, and a single commissioning-ready turnover package. Cross-discipline quality leadership verified by reference on mission-critical work.
A structured process for the MEP quality hire — where one leader has to hold two disciplines, three testing agencies, and a single turnover standard together.
30-minute call. Align on MEP package size, discipline split, whether inspectors report to this seat, testing scope, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 MEP QA/QC Managers with verified two-discipline history — not electrical leads with a mechanical line on the resume. References from QA/QC directors and Cx managers included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire doesn’t stick, we replace them — that’s true across every engagement model we offer.
Plenty of candidates claim MEP; few have run both quality programs. We verify real ownership on each side — weld maps and test packages on mechanical, terminations and NETA oversight on electrical — before anyone reaches your shortlist.
Reference-verified ability to hold subs across disciplines to a single documentation standard, so the owner and Cx team review one coherent package instead of two competing filing systems.
They sequence hold points and inspections to feed Level 1–5 commissioning, and they have the references from commissioning managers to prove the handoff actually worked.
Raceway, cable and terminations, torque verification, gear, UPS, generators — plus NETA ATS oversight through energization.
Weld maps and NDE coordination, pressure-test and flushing packages, HVAC and duct leakage testing, equipment setting.
Reference-verified ITP authorship across both disciplines, witness/hold-point management, and NCR closure velocity.
Has directed discipline inspectors and third-party agencies — we check span of control, not just the title.
Procore, BIM 360 / Autodesk Build, Cx Alloy, or equivalent, run as one auditable system across the MEP scope.
OSHA 30 standard; CQM-C, CWI, NETA/NICET exposure, ASQ as fits. Sector-matched to hyperscale, healthcare, cGMP, or fab work.
Depends on package size and testing scope. We’ll help you structure it on the call — and shortlist for either answer.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks. True two-discipline candidates are scarcer than single-discipline leads, so we start from a pre-verified bench rather than an open-market search.
Pricing depends on engagement model. Direct-hire search is a success-fee placement. For multi-hire programs, embedded recruiting and RPO price as a monthly volume-based fee plus a success fee — typically well below stacked contingency fees at volume. Leadership and executive searches route through executive search.
Most US markets run $120,000–$165,000 base. Hyperscale and semiconductor programs with travel typically run $150,000–$185,000 plus per diem and retention incentives, reflecting the scarcity of verified two-discipline quality leadership.
Rule of thumb: one MEP QA/QC Manager suits mid-size projects or a campus seat above discipline teams; very large electrical or mechanical packages usually justify a dedicated electrical or mechanical lead. We’ll pressure-test the structure with you before sourcing.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, regardless of engagement model. If a placement doesn’t work out inside the guarantee window, we rerun the search and replace them at no additional placement fee.
Yes. An MEP quality lead plus discipline inspectors across phases routes through embedded recruiting or RPO — one team, one standard, volume pricing.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review MEP package size, discipline split, testing scope, and team structure — then start sourcing verified two-discipline quality leaders.
