Job description

Overview

We’re seeking an experienced and hands-on Construction Superintendent with a background in earthwork, grading, or concrete to oversee large-scale golf course and sports turf construction projects across the country. This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established and growing team that builds premier golf courses, football fields, baseball diamonds, and soccer complexes nationwide. If you enjoy seeing high-profile projects come to life from the ground up and don’t mind a travel-heavy lifestyle, this could be the perfect fit.

What You’ll Do

• Lead field operations on golf course and athletic field construction projects ranging from 6 months to over a year.
• Manage daily site activities, including earthwork, grading, drainage, and turf installation.
• Read and interpret civil site plans and survey layouts, ensuring work is completed accurately and on schedule.
• Supervise and coordinate crews of 10–30+ on earthmoving phases and collaborate closely with project managers.
• Oversee subcontractors and in-house teams, ensuring quality, safety, and project specifications are met.
• Maintain thorough project documentation and reporting in Procore and Excel.
• Communicate project updates, progress, and potential challenges during weekly team meetings.

Travel & Schedule

• Travel to projects across the U.S. (excluding CA), from Florida to Arizona.
• Most assignments last 6–12+ months, typically with up to two projects per year.
• Travel rotation includes home leave every ~30 days (or you can bank time off for longer breaks).
• During weather downtime (Jan–Feb), you’ll still receive full pay.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–4+ years of experience as a Superintendent or similar leadership role in construction.
• Strong ability to read civil drawings and manage site layouts.
• Proven experience leading crews and coordinating site logistics.
• Hands-on leadership style, actively managing day-to-day operations.
• Background in earthwork, grading, or concrete highly preferred but not required.
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) and OSHA certifications are a plus.

Ideal for professionals from concrete, earthwork, or golf course construction backgrounds or those looking to transition from golf course management into large-scale build management.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Competitive Pay: $110,000–$125,000+ base salary (higher for top performers).
• Bonuses: Project-based performance incentives + annual bonus ($10K–$15K).
• Growth: Opportunities to transition between sports and golf projects or move into senior roles.
• Culture: Team-oriented, family-focused, and built on integrity “do what you say you’ll do.”
• Benefits: Health, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, company vehicle, PTO, and holiday pay.
