Construction Superintendent — Steel Erection & Foundations

About This Role

Hands-on Construction Superintendent needed to run steel erection, foundations and building envelope work for industrial, commercial, warehouse, manufacturing and agricultural PEMB projects across the U.S. You’ll lead self-performing field crews on both union and nonunion jobs, travel to job sites, and be the on-site point person for quality, schedule and safety. You’ll use lean construction principles and the Last Planner System to plan, sequence and drive work. This is a field-focused role — you’ll be on site directing crews, coordinating inspections and permits, working with subs and vendors, and keeping projects on time and within budget.

What You'll Do

• • Direct and supervise steel erection crews, foundation work and building envelope installation on PEMB and industrial/commercial sites
• • Plan daily/weekly work using Last Planner or other lean construction methods; coordinate crews, equipment and material delivery
• • Manage both union and nonunion self-performing crews: assign tasks, enforce safety and quality standards, track productivity
• • Coordinate inspections, permits, site layout, testing, and interface with clients, inspectors and subcontractors
• • Monitor job cost, change orders, timecards and basic field billing; report schedule and budget status to project management
• • Enforce OSHA and site safety protocols; investigate issues, manage claims when needed and maintain project documentation

What We're Looking For

• • Proven experience supervising steel erection, foundations and building envelope systems on PEMB, industrial, commercial or warehouse projects
• • Experience managing self-performing crews on both union and nonunion sites; strong leadership and crew-management skills
• • Proficient reading and interpreting civil, structural and technical drawings and blueprints
• • Familiar with lean construction or the Last Planner System for planning and scheduling
• • Strong communication skills — able to coordinate with clients, subs, inspectors and office teams; basic claims and conflict resolution experience
• • Willingness and ability to travel to projects nationwide as required

Qualifications

• • NCCER certification (required)
• • OSHA 30-hour card (required)
• • CCM or equivalent construction management credential (preferred)
• • Valid driver's license and clean driving record; ability to pass drug screen and background check
• • Proficient with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) and common construction management software
• • English required; Spanish or other language skills helpful

What We Offer

• • Competitive pay based on experience
• • Per diem and travel reimbursement when on the road
• • Health, dental and vision insurance options
• • 401(k) or retirement plan options
• • Paid time off and holiday pay
• • Training and certification reimbursement (NCCER, specialized safety courses) and tool/training stipend
