Job description

Full-time Description Are you an experienced construction superintendent who takes pride in leading projects, solving problems, and getting the job done right? Do you enjoy traveling and want to work for a company that provides consistent work, strong project support, and values quality as much as you do? Merchco Services is looking for an experienced Traveling Site Superintendent to join our growing commercial construction team. For 29 years, Merchco has built its reputation by delivering quality work and taking care of its clients. Today, we’re a 380-person national organization supporting leading retailers through construction, fixture installation, graphics, and merchandising. Our construction division is growing approximately 15% year over year, creating opportunities for experienced field leaders to grow with us. WHY MERCHCO? 29 YEARS. 380 EMPLOYEES. A PROVEN TRACK RECORD. We’re not a startup trying to figure out construction. We’ve been serving the retail industry for nearly three decades. Merchco is highly specialized in open-store remodels, where construction takes place while the customer’s business remains operational. Success requires planning, communication, professionalism, and the ability to solve problems in real time. Our unique combination of construction, fixture installation, graphics, and merchandising gives us an understanding of retail that traditional commercial contractors often don’t have. Most importantly, our field teams are supported. Every Superintendent works directly with a Project Manager who helps coordinate the project and remove obstacles. Our employees consistently tell us that communication and support are among the things they value most about working at Merchco. We believe quality and reputation come first. We believe in doing what we say we’re going to do. And we believe long-term relationships—with our customers, employees, and partners—are the foundation of our success. READY TO BUILD SOMETHING DIFFERENT? If you’re an experienced Superintendent who takes pride in your work, enjoys the challenge of retail construction, and wants a company with a consistent pipeline of work, strong client relationships, and a team that supports its field leaders, we’d like to hear from you.

Typical projects range from $100,000 to $1 million and run 4–12 weeks, including:

• Retail remodels
• Tenant improvements
• Open-store remodels

WHAT YOU’LL GET $80,000–$100,000 BASE SALARY + PROJECT COMPLETION BONUSES We understand the demands of traveling, so we provide a benefits and support package designed to make life on the road easier:

• Health insurance
• Dental and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Auto allowance
• Cell phone allowance
• Per diem
• Company-paid business travel and lodging
• Company-paid travel home approximately every 3–4 weeks

• Company-provided technology and field support
• Dedicated one-on-one Project Manager support
• Consistent pipeline of projects
• Career advancement opportunities

• Experience managing subcontractors and multiple trades.
• Ability to read and understand construction plans and specifications.
• Strong problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills.
• Commitment to quality and jobsite safety.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with Project Managers.
• Willingness and ability to travel nationwide 90%–100%.
