• Ability to work independently and take ownership of field operations.

Travel & Compensation

• Extensive travel required to project sites throughout the U.S.
• Typical schedule is 10 days on / 4 days off , although schedules may vary on certain public projects.
• Per diem provided , with lodging covered through hotels or apartments depending on the assignment.
• Strong pipeline of upcoming projects with additional Superintendent needs expected in the near future.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a seasoned Superintendent who has spent their career building—not renovating . Someone with experience running ground-up commercial or industrial projects, managing subcontractors in the field, and confidently operating in Procore will be a strong fit.
