Job description

I’m working with a well established national developer-builder that is expanding its construction operation in Austin and looking to hire a Senior Superintendent with strong ground-up industrial / warehouse experience.

This is a unique opportunity to join a 70+ year organization while the Austin construction team is still being built. The company has in house development, architecture, preconstruction, and construction, and the field team gets involved much earlier than they would at a traditional GC.

The initial Austin pipeline is focused on large ground-up industrial projects, and this person would be one of the first senior field leaders on the ground locally.

The Role

This is a hands-on Superintendent position for someone who is comfortable running a project with a lean team and taking real ownership of field execution.

Typical responsibilities will include:

• Lead day-to-day field operations on ground-up warehouse and industrial projects
• Manage sitework, utilities, foundations, slabs, tilt-wall / precast, steel, roofing, MEP, paving, and closeout
• Build and manage the project schedule in coordination with the PM
• Lead subcontractor coordination, sequencing, logistics, and short-term planning
• Get involved during preconstruction to help identify constructability, phasing, logistics, and schedule challenges before the project hits the ground
• Drive safety, quality, schedule, and overall field execution
• Lead subcontractor meetings and maintain strong relationships with local trades
• Manage inspections, punch, commissioning, and turnover
• Help establish field processes and standards as the Austin operation grows

What They’re Looking For

• Strong ground-up warehouse / industrial experience
• Experience independently running projects from site development through turnover
• Strong understanding of tilt-wall or precast construction
• Able to build and manage a schedule, not just follow one
• Comfortable leading a lean field team and making decisions without a lot of layers above or below you
• Organized, proactive, and able to think on your feet
• Strong subcontractor management and field coordination skills
• Experience mentoring Assistant Superintendents or younger field staff is a plus
• Austin / Central Texas subcontractor relationships are highly desirable
• Strong tenure and a track record of staying with companies long enough to build teams and relationships

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• The company is not looking for someone to come in for one project and leave.
• They are looking for long-term field leadership.
• The Austin construction operation is still being built, so the first Superintendent will have significant visibility with national field leadership and the opportunity to help shape how the local team operates.
• Their General Superintendent oversees field operations nationally, and the Austin Superintendent will have direct access to experienced leadership while still being trusted to run the work independently.
• The company also brings Superintendents into projects earlier than many traditional GCs, giving field leadership a voice during preconstruction instead of waiting until mobilization.
• For a strong industrial Superintendent who wants to stay hands-on now but eventually grow into broader field leadership as the Austin office expands, this is a very strong opportunity.
