Job Title: Traveling Superintendent - Quick Turnaround Projects

Schedule time directly with me here:

I’m working on a traveling superintendent position with a construction management firm running ground-up and tenant build-out projects for national retail/QSR clients across Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri . Fast-paced 60-90 day project cycles, so you’re

constantly moving and stacking completed projects, not stuck on one job forever.

What's in it:

• Regional travel base (IN/IL/MO), home most weekends

• Fast project turnover variety, not monotony

• Field tech provided, streamlined reporting process

• Per diem and housing covered with a company credit card, plus holiday pay

• Paid downtime between projects

What they need:

• Experience completing at least 3 ground-up construction projects

• Site work and civil coordination experience

• 2+ years as a Superintendent

• Ability to develop and manage 2-week look-ahead schedules

Work Environment

This role is primarily field-based, with the superintendent working on-site five days a week and being willing to work Saturdays when crews are present to keep the schedule on track. Projects are typically fast-paced, short-duration commercial builds, often ground-up followed by tenant build-outs for quick-serve restaurant and retail facilities. The superintendent uses a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet for daily reporting in FieldLens and Procore, and a company-provided cellphone for communication. Travel is a regular part of the job, with most projects located in Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, and the ability to return home on weekends as project schedules and locations allow. Lodging is arranged via Airbnb or hotels and paid with a company credit card, with reimbursement available for personal RV or camper lodging. Mileage is compensated from mobilization to demobilization, and a per diem is provided while on the road. All holidays are paid, and downtime between jobs is also paid. The work environment is active and hands-on, requiring regular walking and on-site oversight in typical commercial construction conditions, with adherence to OSHA safety standards. Dress is standard construction site attire appropriate for field work and safety compliance.
