Looking for a Superintendent role where you’re trusted to run the job—not just follow a schedule?
At McGrath, our Superintendents lead from the front. You’re the one setting the tone on-site—driving safety, quality, and production while building strong relationships with crews and clients.
We’re a 100% employee-owned construction manager and general contractor with a strong backlog of industrial, pharmaceutical, and commercial work—and we’re growing.
What you’ll actually be doing:
- Leading day-to-day field operations on active construction projects
- Managing subcontractors, crews, and jobsite coordination
- Driving project schedules and holding teams accountable
- Ensuring safety, quality, and productivity on-site
- Coordinating with Project Managers to keep projects on track
- Building strong relationships with clients, inspectors, and trade partners
Why Superintendents choose McGrath:
- You’re trusted to lead – not micromanaged from the office
- Employee-owned – your work directly impacts your future
- Strong project pipeline – steady, meaningful work
- Team-focused culture – PMs and field actually work together
- A company built on integrity, accountability, and doing things right
What we’re looking for:
- Proven experience leading construction projects in the field
- Strong knowledge of plans, specifications, and all major trades (MEP included)
- Ability to manage schedules, sequencing, and jobsite logistics
- Leadership mindset—someone crews respect and want to work for
- Strong communication with both field teams and clients
- OSHA 30 certification
Bonus if you have:
- Experience in industrial, pharmaceutical, or healthcare construction
- Background in self-perform work (concrete, civil, etc.)
- Experience with scheduling software
What you get:
- Professional or Union position (Carpenters or Laborers)
- Company vehicle (based on eligibility) and technology
- Paid time off holidays
- Long-term, stable work with a respected contractor
- A place where your experience and leadership actually matter
If you’re a Superintendent who:
- Takes pride in running a clean, safe, and efficient jobsite
- Wants to work with a team that respects field leadership
- Is looking for long-term stability—not constant turnover
