Traveling Superintendent
Job Description
A well-established commercial and industrial general contractor is seeking an experienced Traveling Superintendent to oversee ground-up construction projects across multiple U.S. markets.
This is a great opportunity for a Superintendent who enjoys traveling and wants to work on substantial ground-up industrial and commercial projects, typically valued at $5M+. The ideal candidate will have a strong field background, excellent subcontractor management skills, and the ability to take ownership of projects from mobilization through completion.
This is not a fit for candidates whose experience is primarily insurance restoration, renovations, tenant improvements, or small-box retail.
Key Responsibilities- Lead day-to-day field operations on assigned ground-up commercial and industrial projects.
- Manage subcontractors, vendors, and field personnel to maintain schedule, quality, and safety standards.
- Coordinate daily construction activities and project sequencing.
- Conduct site meetings and coordinate inspections and project logistics.
- Review plans, specifications, RFIs, submittals, and other project documentation.
- Monitor workmanship, materials, and overall project quality.
- Identify and resolve field issues before they impact schedule or project execution.
- Maintain accurate daily reports, schedules, and project documentation.
- Enforce project and company safety requirements.
- Work closely with Project Managers and the project team throughout the project lifecycle.
- Utilize Procore for project documentation, communication, scheduling, and field management.
- Travel extensively to project sites and remain on-site for the duration of assignments.
The company has a growing pipeline of ground-up industrial and commercial projects throughout the United States, including work in the Midwest, Southeast, and Texas.
Projects are generally $5M+, with an emphasis on substantial ground-up construction rather than smaller retail or renovation projects.
Qualifications- 5–10+ years of commercial or industrial construction experience.
- Proven experience leading $5M+ ground-up projects as a Superintendent.
- Strong knowledge of construction means, methods, sequencing, and scheduling.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple subcontractors and trades.
- Strong understanding of construction drawings, specifications, and project documentation.
- Procore experience is required.
- Bluebeam experience is strongly preferred.
- Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
- Willingness and ability to travel extensively.
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of field operations.
- Extensive travel required to project sites throughout the U.S.
- Typical schedule is 10 days on / 4 days off, although schedules may vary on certain public projects.
- Per diem provided, with lodging covered through hotels or apartments depending on the assignment.
- Strong pipeline of upcoming projects with additional Superintendent needs expected in the near future.
The ideal candidate is a seasoned Superintendent who has spent their career building—not renovating. Someone with experience running ground-up commercial or industrial projects, managing subcontractors in the field, and confidently operating in Procore will be a strong fit.
If you're looking for an opportunity to work on larger, ground-up projects across multiple markets and are comfortable with a traveling schedule, we'd like to speak with you.
