Job Description

TRAVELING SUPERINTENDENT

Serve Electric | Sterling Heights, MI + Travel to Job Sites Nationwide

ABOUT THIS ROLE

If you're a Foreman who's traveling a lot right now and ready for more control over your schedule, this is your next move. As a Traveling Superintendent, you'll get the hands-on training to manage multiple projects at once, along with the autonomy to run your schedule your way. This is a field leadership role (not a desk job) where you'll own execution and crew leadership on-site while building the skills to keep growing your career.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive Pay: $95,000–$105,000 base salary, based on experience
• Health, dental, vision, life insurance, and HSA
• Company Vehicle + Gas Card: You're traveling to get the job done; we cover how you get there
• Paid Time Off
• 401(k)
• Safety-First Culture: Safety Equipment & Uniforms Provided
• Real Growth Paths: Foreman → Superintendent → Project Manager → Branch Manager. We promote from within and mean it
• Hands-On Training: structured development to help you manage multiple projects and grow your career

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Overseeing day-to-day field operations on-site, keeping crews safe, on schedule, and working efficiently
• Managing multiple traveling project assignments at once, coordinating priorities across job sites
• Leading, scheduling, and mentoring field crews, including training team members as you go
• Partnering with Project Managers on budgets, change orders, and customer communication, while owning execution in the field
• Coordinating permits, inspections, and code compliance on-site
• Leading quality and safety inspections throughout the life of each project
• Championing a strong safety culture- reporting incidents and near misses promptly and holding your team accountable
• Maintaining parts, tools, and equipment inventory for your projects
• Traveling nationally to job sites as assignments require, working out of our Sterling branch between trips
• Performing hands-on field work and installations, including working with live electricity, as needed
• Resolving jobsite personnel and customer conflicts proactively and professionally
• Ensuring all crew members hold current safety certifications
• Building lasting relationships with customers, vendors, and site partners

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

• Current experience as a Foreman in electrical construction, ready to take the next step in your career
• Proven ability to lead crews and run day-to-day operations on a job site
• Willingness and ability to travel nationally (we're licensed in 49 states)
• Based in metro Detroit, with the ability to work out of our Sterling branch when not traveling
• A safety-first mindset and comfort working around live electrical systems
• Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills
• Current trade skills/licenses relevant to electrical construction, and a commitment to keeping them up to date
• Valid driver's license

Nice to have:

• Some exposure to project management fundamentals (budgets, change orders, scheduling), this is a field-focused leadership role, not a Project Manager position, but PM-adjacent skills are a plus
• Experience running crews across multiple simultaneous job sites
• NFPA 70E / electrical safety compliance familiarity

If you're a foreman who's ready to trade the day-to-day grind for more flexibility, more autonomy, and a clear next step in your career, we want to hear from you!
