The Opportunity

The General Superintendent leads the superintendents, general foremen, and foremen who build the work. You will own safety, quality, and execution across every job under your charge, forecast and man-load the work from start to finish, and make the staffing and cost decisions that keep several projects performing at the same time.

The job takes different shapes depending on the work. On our large mission-critical builds, including data centers, semiconductor and advanced manufacturing facilities, and healthcare, you may own a full campus or carry several concurrent projects, setting the staffing strategy across all of them. On our special projects, you may lead field operations across a portfolio of jobs that turn over quickly, partnering with project managers and holding the client relationships that bring repeat work.

• Drive a culture of safety excellence and hold every job to safety regulations and best practices.

Run the Work

• Oversee planning, scheduling, and execution across multiple projects so each one hits its milestones.

• Review and interpret plans, specifications, and blueprints, guiding teams through accurate installation.

• Identify process improvements and put better practices in place across the work.

Coordinate and Communicate

• Communicate regularly with project teams, stakeholders, and clients to give updates and resolve challenges.

• Journeyman-level electrical knowledge and field experience.

We recognize that experience comes from many paths. An equivalent combination of education, certification, and experience that results in successful performance of the job is welcomed. Additional education may substitute for required experience on a one-for-one year basis, or vice versa.

This is a field-based role performed on active construction sites, both indoors and outdoors, with exposure to weather and jobsite conditions. The role involves lifting up to 50 pounds, climbing, crawling, working at heights, and working in confined spaces, and requires wearing personal protective equipment. Expect a fast-paced environment that calls for focus and sound judgment under pressure.
