Job description
Skyler is seeking an impact player: a Superintendent who leads from the front, holds the field accountable, and takes personal ownership of safe, on-time, on-budget delivery.
At Skyler, you build the facilities where care happens. Skyler places skilled, accountable construction professionals into mission-critical environments. We are hiring a Traveling Healthcare Construction Superintendent to lead ground-up healthcare projects delivered by Skyler Healthcare Construction, LLC ("Skyler HC") across Texas.
Skyler operates within the FGC2 platform of 30 operating and affiliated companies spanning construction, healthcare, industrial, emergency response, restoration, equipment rental, manufacturing, supply and distribution, technology, real estate development, and insurance recovery services.
Skyler is a family. Our culture is faith-friendly and values-led, and we treat our people accordingly. We invest in your safety, your credentials, and your long-term future. With Skyler, you don’t sit idle between projects, and your benefits travel with you.
The Superintendent serves as the primary on-site authority for daily execution of a ground-up healthcare project, from site mobilization through structural completion, building envelope, interior build-out, systems commissioning, and owner turnover. The role is responsible for safety leadership, trade coordination, schedule performance, quality control, and documentation quality.
This is a traveling, project-based field-leadership role. The current assignment is a ground-up healthcare facility in Dallas, expected to run approximately 9 to 12 months on a full-time, on-site basis. Additional assignments follow the work across the Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston markets. National travel may also be available in the future for the right and willing candidate. Future assignments are based on business needs; however, the anticipated next assignment is in Dallas.

Safety comes first at Skyler. We are committed to an incident-free workplace. Every assignment is led with a safety-first culture that protects our people, our trade partners, and the patients and staff in the facilities where we work.
