While this client performs high-level technical construction work, the current project portfolio consists primarily of renovation projects up to approximately $50 million in value. Candidates coming from large-scale mission critical, healthcare, data center, or industrial projects are welcome to apply, but experience leading renovation and MEP-heavy projects is the primary focus.

Current Project Types

• Commercial renovations
• Government facility upgrades

• Mission critical renovations and upgrades

Project values typically range up to approximately $50 million.

• Manage project schedules and drive milestone completion.
• Lead project safety initiatives and maintain compliance standards.
• Coordinate installation and execution of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems.
• Conduct site walks and quality control inspections.
• Support project managers with planning, logistics, manpower forecasting, and project execution.
• Maintain strong client, subcontractor, and internal team relationships.
• Identify and proactively resolve field issues.
• Ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards.

Preferred Background

• Experience as a Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, or Junior Superintendent.
• Strong knowledge of MEP systems and coordination.
• Renovation, retrofit, modernization, or occupied-space construction experience.
• Experience managing commercial, healthcare, government, infrastructure, industrial, or mission-critical projects.
• Ability to manage subcontractors and maintain project schedules.
• Strong communication and leadership skills.
• Willingness to travel for project assignments.

Travel Expectations

The ideal candidate will reside in one of the following markets:

• Dallas/Fort Worth, TX
• Houston, TX
• Kansas City, MO
• Miami, FL
• Albuquerque, NM
• Indiana

Candidates in these locations may initially work on projects close to home for approximately the first year. Following that period, they should be open to traveling to project sites nationwide as business needs require.

Candidates who already work in traveling Superintendent roles will also be considered.
