Job description

Texas or Virginia - Fully Site-Based - Monday to Friday (Home Fridays)

Base salary up to $250,000

A growing US construction business is seeking a General Superintendent to lead field execution on major, complex projects.

This is a senior role for someone who can run a project from mobilization through final turnover across all trades - leading the field team, coordinating subcontractors, driving schedule and quality, and resolving issues before they impact delivery.

Projects span mission critical, healthcare, aviation/airport and other complex construction environments. Experience across multiple sectors is valuable; the strongest candidates will bring genuine breadth rather than a narrowly defined background.

The Role

• Own field execution from project start through completion and turnover.
• Lead civil, structural, architectural, MEP and specialty scopes.
• Direct Superintendents, Assistant Superintendents, subcontractors and trade partners.
• Establish sequencing, logistics, manpower planning and short/long-term schedules.
• Drive safety, quality, productivity and schedule performance.
• Identify and resolve field issues before they become project-level problems.
• Coordinate closely with Project Management, owners, consultants and senior leadership.
• Lead inspections, commissioning, punch, closeout and turnover.

What We're Looking For

• Proven ability to lead major projects end-to-end across all trades.
• Strong command of field operations, sequencing, logistics and schedule.
• Experience leading large field teams and complex subcontractor environments.
• Ability to make decisions, solve problems and maintain accountability without constant escalation.
• Experience in mission critical, healthcare, aviation/airport or similarly complex construction.
• A broad project background rather than experience limited to one vertical.
• Strong owner, consultant and trade-partner communication.
• Willingness to work 100% on site, Monday-Friday, with home time Fridays.
• Reasonable access to a major commercial airport.
• Able to work on projects in Texas or Virginia. Candidates based in California or New York are not being considered.

The Opportunity

This is a General Superintendent / Lead Superintendent-level opportunity for someone trusted to take ownership of complex project execution.

Base salary can reach $250,000 for a candidate who brings the required project scale, trade breadth and field leadership.

If you have already taken complex projects from mobilization through turnover and genuinely owned the field operation, we would like to speak with you.
