What are the responsibilities and job description for the Commercial Construction Superintendent position at MCL Construction?
Brief Description
Construction Superintendent
We’re looking for a Construction Superintendent who brings order, accountability, and pride to every site they run — someone who earns trust fast and treats every subcontractor, owner, and crew like a long-term partner, because at MCL, they are.
The title is Superintendent. The real job is leadership from the ground up — the kind that keeps a crew moving and a client confident.
Your Day-to-Day
Run the Project
You’re a Strong Fit If You
We hire for character as much as credentials. These four traits define the people who succeed at MCL:
Passionate — you care deeply about the work, the craft, and the people around you. This is more than a job to you.
Dedicated — you show up fully every day. When things get hard—and they will—you stay engaged.
Thorough — details matter. You don't hand something off or close it out until it's done right.
Respectful — you treat the owner, the sub, the laborer, and everyone in between with respect. It's not situational here—it's the standard.
What You're Walking Into
MCL Construction has been building Omaha and the surrounding region since 1987. We build with integrity, show up with purpose, and leave every project — and every relationship — better than we found it. Our reputation is built on people who show up, lead from the front, and take real pride in what gets built.
You’ll work with experienced teammates on projects that shape communities, in a culture that values your judgment and the impact of your work. If you want meaningful work with people who hold a high standard and have each other’s backs, MCL is the place.
Competitive Compensation Package with benefits including: Medical, Dental & Vision
