Job description

FIELD SUPERINTENDENT (TRAVELLING) | HEAVY INDUSTRIAL / STEEL ERECTION

Fast-Growing $100M+ Contractor

We’re partnering with a rapidly growing heavy industrial construction and steel fabrication contractor to hire experienced Field Superintendents for major projects across the USA.

With approximately 300 employees, extensive in-house fabrication capabilities and continued national growth, the business is looking for proven field leaders who can run a jobsite, lead crews and keep projects safe, productive and on schedule.

Projects span:

• Heavy industrial construction
• Steel mills

THE ROLE

You’ll take ownership of day-to-day field operations on complex industrial projects.

That means:

• Leading crews and subcontractors
• Driving site safety and daily safety briefings
• Managing sequencing and look-ahead schedules
• Coordinating fabrication, rigging and project teams
• Identifying productivity issues before they impact the job
• Tracking progress against schedule, budget and quality
• Developing foremen and future field leaders
• Managing client and inspector relationships

This isn’t a role for someone who manages purely from the trailer.

We’re looking for strong field leadership — someone organised, proactive and respected by both management and the crews doing the work.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You’ll ideally have experience within:

• Heavy industrial construction
• Manufacturing facilities
• Heavy rigging
• Similar complex industrial environments

You’ll be comfortable holding people accountable, planning ahead and driving productivity without simply throwing more hours at the job.

THE PACKAGE

• $160/day per diem – paid 7 days a week
• Flights home covered where appropriate
• PTO – typically 2 weeks, negotiable for experienced hires
• Typical schedule is approximately 55–60 hours per week, with nationwide travel and generally a three-day weekend home each month

WHY CONSIDER IT?

This is an opportunity to join a high-growth national contractor working on large, technically demanding industrial projects.

The company has strong in-house fabrication and construction capabilities, a safety-led culture and clear opportunities for talented field leaders to progress as the business expands.
