A well-established national design-build General Contractor is hiring a General Superintendent to support major industrial project work across the US.

This role is best suited to someone who has come through a true General Contractor background, has strong industrial project experience, and understands what it takes to lead field teams across complex projects.

• Maintaining strong communication with owners, architects, inspectors, consultants, and trade partners
• Holding teams accountable to company standards, client expectations, and project goals
• Supporting closeout, turnover, and client satisfaction
• Mentoring Superintendents and helping maintain consistent field standards across the business

What we’re looking for:

• 15 years of commercial construction experience
• Previous experience as a General Superintendent, Senior Superintendent, Lead Superintendent, Area Superintendent, or similar
• Majority of experience must be with a General Contractor
• Industrial, warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, cold storage or food processing experience required
• Design-build experience would be a plus
• Experience overseeing multiple projects or multiple Superintendents preferred
• Strong understanding of schedules, sequencing, logistics, QA/QC, safety, inspections, subcontractor coordination, and site operations
• Ability to work closely with both field and office leadership
• Good client-facing skills and the ability to represent the business professionally on site
• Good job tenure and a stable career history
• Open to travel to project sites across the US

Compensation & benefits:

• Travel support depending on project location
• Long-term career growth with a national contractor
• Enrollment into company ESOP

Why this opportunity:

• Work with a nationally recognised design-build General Contractor
• Strong pipeline of industrial and commercial projects across the US
• Opportunity to take a senior field leadership role, not just run one project
• Stable business with long-standing client relationships
• Exposure to speculative warehouse, build-to-suit, manufacturing, cold storage, food processing, data center, fulfillment, adaptive reuse, and commercial work
• Best suited to someone looking for a long-term move, not just their next project
