Our team works with custom‑engineered bus duct systems that support electrical power distribution in power generation, industrial, data center, and other critical infrastructure environments.

As a Traveling Superintendent, you'll play a highly visible role leading on‑site project coordination, supporting customers, and helping ensure successful project execution in the field.

Important: This is a remote position that requires approximately 75% overnight travel, primarily across the continental United States. Projects will require extended stays at a single customer site lasting multiple weeks and occasionally several months.

• Make sound field decisions by balancing safety, schedule, customer commitments, operational needs, and project costs.
• Complete daily reports, project documentation, timekeeping records, and status updates while maintaining accurate project records.
• Support a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement across all assigned job sites.

You Have

• High school diploma or equivalent education.
• 3+ years of experience leading or coordinating field‑based project activities at customer sites, including construction, installation, outage, commissioning, maintenance, or similar project environments.
• Proven experience supporting project execution at client locations, including schedule coordination, subcontractor coordination, issue resolution, progress reporting, and customer communication.
• Strong organizational, planning, and communication skills with the ability to lead multiple priorities in a fast‑paced field environment.
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, assembly drawings, plans, and project documentation.
• Solid understanding of OSHA requirements, job‑site safety practices, workforce documentation, and timekeeping processes.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and experience using project scheduling, reporting, or project tracking tools.
• Ability and willingness to travel overnight up to 75% across the country.
• Extended stays at customer sites are required.
