Traveling Construction Superintendent

Job Description

Job Description

POSITION TITLE : TRAVELING CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT

LOCATION: Home-based near a major airport, anywhere in the continental U.S. Travel to project sites nationwide.

EMPLOYMENT TYPE: Full-Time | Salaried

PAY: $80,000 - $115,000 per year plus per diem, company-booked hotels, and a take-home company vehicle

LEAD FAST-PACED PROJECTS ACROSS MULTIPLE SITES, AND SOLVE PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY SLOW THE JOB DOWN

Osborne is seeking an experienced Traveling Superintendent who is an efficient, hands-on problem solver to lead fast-paced construction projects across the country, primarily within our EV infrastructure division. This is not a traditional ground-up Superintendent role. Our projects are short-duration, high-volume, and often run at the same time across multiple job sites, so you'll manage several crews and subcontractors at once.

Commercial experience is a plus, but not required. We've hired strong Superintendents from production and multi-family residential, civil, utility, and telecom backgrounds. If you can run subcontractors, hold a schedule, and solve problems on your own, we want to hear from you.

Your travel schedule: typically 2-3 weeks on the road, then home between rotations. Home time is planned ahead with your Project Manager, and we book your flights and hotels.

ABOUT US:

Osborne is a Topeka, Kansas-based commercial general contractor proudly celebrating 50 years of building across the country. We specialize in design-build commercial construction, facilities maintenance, and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. With a strong foundation built on integrity, dependability, and quality, we're known for doing what's right--every time. Our team is made up of smart, humble professionals who value accountability, consistent execution, and long-term partnerships. Whether in the field or behind the scenes, we take pride in delivering results that stand the test of time. Learn more at:

IS THIS ROLE A FIT FOR YOU?

You may be a great match if you:

• Solve problems on your own and bring your Project Manager solutions, not just problems
• Are a dependable leader with integrity and a proactive mindset
• Thrive in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
• Communicate constantly and clearly with your PM, subcontractors, crews, and clients
• Are highly organized and able to keep multiple projects moving on schedule
• Take ownership of job site performance, safety, and quality
• Adapt quickly as schedules and site conditions change

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

As a Traveling Superintendent, you'll lead multiple job sites, ensuring safety, quality, and schedule goals are met. This role requires a strong field presence, constant communication with your Project Manager, and the ability to manage many moving parts across short-duration, fast-paced projects.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Oversee day-to-day field operations across one or multiple job sites, from mobilization through closeout
• Schedule, direct, and hold subcontractors accountable (Osborne Superintendents supervise the work; they do not self-perform trade work)
• Ensure work is performed according to plans, specifications, and codes
• Coordinate schedules, sequencing, inspections, and daily progress
• Keep your Project Manager updated every day and bring options when issues come up
• Generate POs, Change Orders, and cost estimates in collaboration with PMs
• Lead job site safety: job safety analyses, toolbox talks, inspections, and incident documentation
• Maintain clean, organized, and professional job sites
• Provide a high-quality client experience and communication
• Submit daily reports, photos, and progress updates in Procore

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:

• 3+ years as a Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, or field lead directing subcontractors (commercial, civil, utility, or residential)
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects or fast-paced job sites at the same time
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing and field operations
• Ability to read and interpret plans and specifications
• Comfortable with construction software on a laptop or tablet (Procore, Bluebeam, or similar; we'll train you on ours)
• Willingness to travel 2-3 weeks at a time, with scheduled home time between trips
• Ability to fly as needed (REAL ID-compliant or other TSA-accepted identification)
• Valid driver's license and a driving record that meets our vehicle policy
• OSHA 30, or able to complete it within 90 days (paid by Osborne)
• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs and work outdoors in changing weather, with or without reasonable accommodation
• Authorization to work in the U.S.

PREFERRED, NOT REQUIRED:

• Site work, utilities, concrete, or civil scopes
• EV charging, electrical, telecom, fuel station, or multi-site rollout programs
• Production or multi-family residential experience running multiple units or sites at once

BENEFITS & PERKS:

• Salary: $80,000 - $115,000, based on experience
• Performance-based bonus opportunities
• Paid per diem ($50/day, subject to applicable tax rules) + company-booked hotels (you keep the points)
• Take-home company vehicle
• Company phone
• Medical, dental & vision insurance (company-shared premiums)
• 3 weeks of Paid Time Off (PTO), earned from your first day
• Paid holidays
• 2 weeks of paid parental leave
• 401(k) with 3.5% employer match
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• Annual boot allowance and prescription safety glasses
• Paid OSHA 30 and ongoing training
• A team environment that values accountability, communication, and results
