Job description

📍 California and Surrounding States

💰 Up to $155,000 base per year + per diem + auto allowance + fuel card + bonuses + health benefits

A well-established, family-owned California General Contractor (multi-office across Northern & Southern CA) is hiring a Traveling Superintendent to lead repeat retail and commercial builds in the $10M–$20M range for major national clients.

This contractor is known for a “hire for careers, not projects” approach, a strong backlog of state-wide work, and deliberate, controlled growth (including an expanding industrial & data centre vertical), without taking on more than they can execute to a high standard.

Overview

Responsibilities

• Leading on-site delivery for retail & commercial projects ($10M–$20M)
• Managing site logistics, sequencing, short-interval planning, and look-ahead schedules
• Coordinating subcontractors and driving daily production to hit milestones
• Owning site safety culture and compliance across all activities
• Ensuring quality control, punch, turnover, and close-out are executed professionally
• Partnering closely with Project Management to resolve issues quickly (RFI, procurement, change, schedule impacts)
• Full time onsite work, where traveling supers go home every other weekend on average

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of experience as a lead Superintendent, ideally with experience with a California GC
• Track record delivering retail and/or commercial projects in the $10M–$20M range
• Strong subcontractor leadership, schedule control, and field problem-solving
• Comfortable working with repeat national clients and high standards of execution
• Fully open to travel across the West Coast and surrounding states
• Solid job tenure
• Up to $155,000 base per year (depending on fit and project history)
• Bonuses (year-end + discretionary)
• 401(k) match
• Per diem, dependent on where you're traveling to and from

Why this opportunity

• High volume of repeat work (less “one-and-done” volatility)
• Strong backlog throughout California
• Family-owned culture where you’re not treated as a number

If you’re interested, please apply with a resume and a brief project list (project name/type, value, location, delivery model, and your role).
