Superintendent – K–12 Education

Why This Role Exists + What You'll Lead

Clark's Lansing office is seeking a Superintendent to lead daily field execution on K–12 construction projects across Central Michigan.

School construction is different. Buildings are occupied. Students are present. Summer schedules are compressed. Opening day deadlines are fixed. This role exists to ensure we deliver safe, high-quality spaces while coordinating dozens of moving parts inside active school environments.

You’ll own what happens in the field every day - leading trade contractors, enforcing safety standards, and maintaining schedule discipline - while partnering with your Project Manager on overall project strategy.

Based in Lansing, MI, serving clients across Central Michigan - ideal candidates may live near Lansing, East Lansing, Jackson, Howell, Brighton, Dewitt, and other surrounding areas.

• Enforce safety, cleanliness, and occupied-building protocols
• Verify schedule alignment with your Project Manager
• Lead weekly trade coordination meetings
• Maintain detailed daily reports and documentation
• Drive quality closeout with minimal punch list
• Represent Clark professionally with district staff and administrators

What Success Looks Like

In year one, you're confidently leading execution in occupied schools, coordinating trades around academic schedules, and delivering on opening-day commitments.

Over time, you're trusted with larger or more complex projects and mentoring Assistant Superintendents learning K–12 work.

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years as a Superintendent in commercial construction
• K–12 or occupied-building experience preferred
• Strong short-term planning and trade coordination skills
• Clear, firm leadership presence on site
• Deep commitment to safety and quality
• Proficiency with Phoenix, ProjectSight, Bluebeam
