Job description

Construction Superintendent

MCL Construction is expanding into Central Nebraska, and we’re building the team that will define what we become here. We’re looking for a Construction Superintendent who brings order, accountability, and pride to every site they run — based in Kearney and delivering projects across the region and beyond, and helping establish what MCL stands for in this market.

Brief Description

The title is Superintendent. The real job is the standard — for safety, for quality, for how people show up every single day.

Your Day-to-Day

Run the Project

• Lead all on-site operations for commercial projects typically ranging $5M–$30M+ safe, clean, on schedule, and within budget.
• Own the master schedule and manpower planning; always maintain a clear six-week look‑ahead.
• Direct resource allocation, equipment use, and field cost control.
• Get ahead of schedule, budget, and scope issues before they become problems.
• Manage field documentation: RFIs, submittals, change orders, QC records, and closeout.

Lead People and Partners

• Serve as the primary on-site point of contact for owners, architects, engineers, and subs.
• Lead preconstruction meetings and weekly coordination with a focus on safety, schedule, and quality.
• Hold subcontractors across Central Nebraska accountable to performance and quality standards — professionally and consistently.
• Resolve field conflicts quickly so work keeps moving.

Hold the Line on Safety and Quality

• Maintain a visible, no‑compromise safety presence on-site every single day.
• Run toolbox talks, safety meetings, and inspections; document and address hazards immediately.
• Enforce MCL’s quality standards so the finished product is something the whole crew is proud of.

The Right Fit

You’re a Strong Fit If You

• 7+ years of progressive construction experience, with 3+ years running jobs as a superintendent.
• Proven track record delivering commercial projects in the $5M–$30M range.
• Know your way around scheduling systems (Procore, P6, or similar) and actually use look‑ahead planning.
• Fluent in contract documents, submittals, RFIs, and change order management.
• OSHA 30 certification required; First Aid/CPR a plus.
• Communicate directly and clearly — with owners, subs, and your own team.
• Run a clean, organized, professional job site without being told to.
• Able to travel or take extended project assignments when the work calls for it.

Our Values

We hire for character as much as credentials. These four traits define the people who succeed at MCL:

• Passionate — you care deeply about the work, the craft, and the people around you. This is more than a job to you.
• Dedicated — you show up fully every day. When things get hard—and they will—you stay engaged.
• Thorough — details matter. You don't hand something off or close it out until it's done right.
• Respectful — you treat the owner, the sub, the laborer, and everyone in between with respect. It's not situational here—it's the standard.

What You’re Walking Into

MCL Construction has been building Nebraska and the surrounding region since 1987. Now we’re planting roots in Central Nebraska — and we need people who want to be part of building something from the ground up. This Kearney‑based role puts you at the center of a growing market that includes Grand Island, Hastings, North Platte, and communities across the region. You’ll have real ownership here — not just of the job site, but of what MCL becomes in this market. The standard you set on every project is the standard this office gets known for. If you want meaningful work with people who hold a high standard and have each other’s backs, MCL is the place.
