Lead the Field. Build Critical Infrastructure. Make an Impact.

We’re seeking an experienced General Superintendent to take the lead on complex water and wastewater treatment projects in the Omaha region. This is a high‑impact leadership role where you’ll own field execution from preconstruction through commissioning, guiding large, multidisciplinary teams and delivering essential infrastructure that communities depend on.

You won’t just run projects — you’ll help win them, shaping strategy, supporting pursuits, and building long‑term client relationships that drive continued growth in the market.

What You’ll Do

• Lead from the front — take full ownership of site execution across major water/wastewater treatment facilities, pump stations, and pipeline projects
• Influence project wins — support proposals, execution planning, and scheduling to help secure new work
• Build and develop teams — grow and lead high‑performing crews to advance self‑perform construction capabilities
• Drive project success — partner with Project Managers to manage budgets, schedules, phasing, and preconstruction deliverables
• Plan with precision — develop construction sequencing, lift plans, and shutdown/tie‑in strategies unique to water/wastewater environments
• Champion safety — lead a strong safety culture focused on high‑risk environments (confined space, chemical systems, electrical/SCADA)
• Set the standard — ensure quality, compliance, and execution meet or exceed contract and regulatory requirements
• Own the site — serve as the senior authority in meetings, coordination efforts, and field‑level decision‑making
• Deliver results — manage field budgets, subcontractors, and change events while keeping projects on track
• Close strong — lead commissioning, turnover, and successful handoff to owners and operators

What You Bring

• 10+ years of experience in water/wastewater construction
• 3–8+ years leading as a Superintendent or senior field leader
• Strong expertise across civil, structural, process mechanical, and electrical/I&C systems
• Deep understanding of municipal and regulatory environments
• Experience with scheduling tools and construction management systems
• A leadership style that prioritizes safety, accountability, and team performance

Why This Role Stands Out

• High visibility leadership role with real influence on project wins and execution
• Opportunity to build and shape self‑perform construction teams
• Work on essential infrastructure projects that directly impact communities
• Long‑term growth potential in a stable, in‑demand sector
• Be part of a culture that values safety, quality, and strong field leadership

If you’re a hands‑on leader who thrives in complex environments and wants to play a key role in building critical infrastructure, this is your opportunity to step into a true field leadership position with impact.
