Construction Superintendent – Lead Commercial and Federal Field Operations for Lang Constructors Inc

The Opportunity

Lang Constructors Inc. is seeking an experienced Traveling Construction Superintendent to lead commercial and federal construction projects throughout the United States. This is a hands‑on field leadership position for a superintendent comfortable managing jobsites independently, directing subcontractors, enforcing project standards, and representing the company professionally on government and commercial facilities.

Our projects include postal facilities, government buildings, renovations, additions, facility improvements, and other general contracting work. Many projects involve occupied facilities that must remain operational throughout construction, requiring careful coordination, scheduling, safety management, and communication.

Important Travel Expectations

This is a true traveling superintendent position, not a primarily local assignment.

• Travel is required for a minimum of 50% of assignments.
• Certain projects may require up to 100% travel and daily on‑site presence for their duration.
• Extended assignments may last approximately 6–12 months, depending on project scope.
• Current project opportunities include the Midwest, Eastern and southeastern United States, with potential work in additional regions.
• Candidates may reside outside Michigan, ideally with convenient access to a commercial airport.
• Michigan-based candidates are preferred when practical because they may also support local projects between traveling assignments.
• Travel accommodations and project‑specific arrangements are provided for qualifying assignments.

The ideal candidate is committed to building a long‑term career with Lang Constructors rather than seeking employment for a single project.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage daily field operations on commercial and federal construction projects from mobilization through substantial completion and closeout.
• Maintain a consistent on‑site presence for the duration of assigned projects.
• Coordinate and supervise subcontractors, suppliers, and in‑house field personnel.
• Lead subcontractor scheduling, material coordination, and trade sequencing.
• Develop and maintain short‑term look‑ahead schedules to keep construction activities progressing.
• Monitor jobsite safety, quality control, project schedules, and overall field productivity.
• Review construction drawings, specifications, and contract documents to ensure proper execution.
• Conduct field inspections and address deficiencies before formal inspections or client reviews.
• Maintain accurate daily reports, project documentation, and jobsite records.
• Coordinate RFIs, field changes, and construction issues with the Project Manager.
• Manage construction activities within occupied and active commercial or government facilities.
• Protect client operations, pedestrian access, facility security, cleanliness, and professional jobsite standards.
• Work collaboratively with union and nonunion subcontractors and multiple construction trades.
• Communicate effectively with project owners, government representatives, inspectors, and internal leadership.
• Support project closeout, punch lists, and final inspections.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum five years of commercial construction experience, including demonstrated success as a lead Construction Superintendent.
• Experience independently managing commercial construction jobsites and multiple subcontractor trades.
• Strong knowledge of general construction methods, materials, trade sequencing, and jobsite operations.
• Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, civil, and MEP construction drawings.
• Demonstrated ability to maintain project schedules while ensuring safety and workmanship standards.
• Experience maintaining jobsite documentation and communicating project progress.
• Strong leadership, adaptability, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to work effectively with subcontractors from varied construction backgrounds.
• Valid driver’s license.
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively, including extended out‑of‑state assignments and potentially 100% on‑site project commitments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Seven or more years of relevant construction experience.
• Federal construction experience, particularly USPS or GSA projects.
• Experience supervising work in occupied or operating facilities.
• OSHA 30 certification.
• Experience with general contracting projects involving several construction disciplines.
• Familiarity with government project documentation, safety standards, and site access procedures.

Compensation & Benefits

• Annual salary of 90,000–105,000, depending on qualifications and experience.
• Performance-based bonus opportunities.
• Weekly pay.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance options.
• Health Savings Account with employer contributions for eligible plans.
• Paid time off and paid holidays.
