Superintendent in Training

Industry: Commercial Concrete Construction
Location: South Dakota / Regional Travel

Position Overview

We are seeking a motivated, experienced concrete professional who is ready to take the next step in their career and develop into a Commercial Concrete Superintendent.

This is an opportunity for someone with a strong foundation in concrete construction, particularly a current Foreman or Assistant Superintendent, who has the leadership ability, work ethic, and values to grow into a full Superintendent role.

The company is willing to invest in the right individual, providing hands-on training, mentorship, and real-world project experience to develop their leadership and operational capabilities. Depending on experience, the development period could range from six months to two years.

We are not necessarily looking for a fully developed Superintendent. We are looking for someone with the right fundamentals, attitude, and potential to become one.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with the planning, coordination, and execution of commercial concrete construction projects.

• Learn to manage field crews, subcontractors, equipment, and materials.

• Develop the ability to oversee daily field operations while maintaining productivity, quality, and safety standards.

• Assist with scheduling, manpower planning, and project coordination.

• Learn to interpret construction drawings, specifications, and project schedules.

• Monitor job progress and help ensure projects stay on schedule and within budget.

• Develop strong communication and leadership skills when working with project teams, field personnel, and management.

• Assist with maintaining jobsite safety standards and ensuring compliance with company policies.

• Gradually assume greater responsibility for project execution and field leadership.

Qualifications

• Previous experience in concrete construction is required.

• Experience as a Concrete Foreman, Lead Foreman, Assistant Superintendent, or similar field leadership role is preferred.

• Commercial concrete experience is highly desirable, but strong residential concrete backgrounds will also be considered.

• Understanding of concrete placement, forming, reinforcing, finishing, and general construction processes.

• Demonstrated ability to lead crews and manage day-to-day field activities.

• Strong work ethic, accountability, and willingness to learn.

• Ability to communicate effectively and work well with different personalities.

• Must be willing to travel and work on regional construction projects.

• Must possess a valid driver's license.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

• Career Development: A genuine opportunity to grow into a full Commercial Concrete Superintendent position.

• Mentorship: Work alongside experienced construction leadership and learn the operational side of running larger commercial projects.

• Investment in People: The company is willing to develop someone over time rather than requiring them to have every qualification on day one.

• Long-Term Opportunity: Continued company growth is creating opportunities for additional field leadership.

• Competitive Compensation: Compensation will be based on experience and current level of development, with room to grow as responsibilities increase.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is currently running concrete crews and feels ready for the next step. They may not have managed large-scale commercial projects independently, but they understand concrete, know how to lead people, and have the desire to become a Superintendent.

Above all, we are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, values accountability, and wants to build a long-term career with a growing construction organization.
