Job description

Location: Remote / Nationwide (up to 80 percent travel to U.S. airport project sites)

Our client is a nationally recognized heavy‑civil contractor whose aviation fueling backlog is exploding thanks to award‑winning safety performance, innovative self‑perform capabilities, and long‑term partnerships with commercial and military airports coast to coast. As the Fuels Superintendent, you will own field execution for complex jet‑fuel infrastructure—turning strategic goals into safe, high‑quality results that keep America’s air traffic moving. If you thrive on leading crews in live airfields and want the freedom of a remote role with nationwide impact, this opportunity is built for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Direct all on‑site activities for aviation fuel‑handling projects—storage terminals, underground and above‑ground pipelines, hydrant networks, pumping and filtration skids, and automated control systems.
• Coordinate daily work inside active airfields, ensuring strict compliance with airport security, safety, and operational procedures.
• Plan site logistics, craft labor, subcontractors, equipment, and materials to meet or beat safety, schedule, quality, and cost targets.
• Champion a behavior‑based safety culture and verify adherence to FAA, NFPA, API, and state and local regulations.
• Develop and maintain three‑week look‑ahead schedules and update the master project plan in concert with Project Management and airport stakeholders.
• Track production quantities and earned‑value metrics, recommending corrective actions to keep projects on course.
• Interpret IFC drawings and specifications, generate RFIs, and craft field‑driven solutions to unforeseen conditions.
• Produce concise daily progress, safety, and quality reports and present status updates to leadership and client teams.
• Build trusted relationships with airport authorities, owners, inspectors, vendors, and internal partners.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years leading construction of jet‑fuel or petroleum distribution facilities in active airports or Department of Defense environments.
• Demonstrated experience with fuel storage tanks, hydrant or pit systems, fuel piping, pump/filtration assemblies, and mechanical or electrical controls.
• Working knowledge of FAA, NFPA 407, API standards, and related fire‑code requirements.
• Proficiency with construction scheduling tools and Microsoft Office.
• Ability to travel up to 80 percent nationwide and qualify for airport security badging.
• OSHA 30 (or equivalent) required; bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline preferred.
• Competitive base salary plus performance bonus.
• Day‑one health, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Company truck or monthly vehicle allowance and paid travel expenses.
• Generous PTO and 10+ company holidays.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Robust technical training and leadership‑development programs.
