# What Should I Expect When Recruiting a Data Center MEP Coordinator in 2026?

Data center MEP coordinators are among the hardest construction roles to fill right now. Hiring timelines stretch well beyond a typical search because the candidate pool with hands-on mission-critical experience is small and heavily recruited. Liquid cooling expertise, controls knowledge, and commissioning experience all push compensation higher, and pay runs above comparable work in other sectors. What moves the number most is project scale and complexity, years of direct data center experience, relevant certifications, and willingness to travel or relocate. Amundson Group recruits MEP coordinators and related roles across our data center practice nationally, drawing on a network of 90,000+ construction professionals. Starting your search early is the single most effective way to stay ahead of the competition.
