Traveling Superintendent

job summary:
On behalf of our Southeastern Michigan client, a leader in the heavy industrial and energy sectors, we are seeking a dedicated Traveling Superintendent to lead large-scale projects within the manufacturing, power, and industrial markets. This role is designed for a "First-in-Command" leader who excels in high-stakes environments and thrives on the road. You will be responsible for ensuring each project is executed according to design, budget, and schedule, acting as a safety champion who leads by example. By overseeing the productivity of crafts and the efficient use of materials, you will ensure the highest standards of quality are met from initial site layout through final closeout.

A significant portion of this role involves high-level coordination and labor management. You will conduct inclusive morning huddles and weekly progress meetings to align subcontractors with project goals, while proactively managing labor relations and jurisdictional disputes. Working alongside the Project Manager, you will help develop the project schedule, determine manpower requirements, and confirm that all trade partners can meet critical milestones. Your technical input during the estimating phase and your ability to manage self-performed work will be vital to the project's contractual performance and overall profitability.

The ideal candidate is a disciplined professional who maintains meticulous project documentation-including as-builts, daily logs, and safety reports-while fostering positive relationships with customers and A-E representatives. We are looking for a leader who can immediately identify and correct unsafe conditions, ensuring a culture of zero accidents across every job site.

You will need to possess a thorough understanding of civil/site, architectural/finish, mechanical, and electrical work, as well as a thorough knowledge of all construction aspects including technology, equipment, methods, craft agreements, and jurisdiction. Expertise in negotiations, engineering, cost control schedules, and safety is required, alongside a thorough working knowledge of OSHA, security, and environmental regulations. Essential to this role are excellent communication, organization, interpersonal, and supervisory skills, paired with the ability to read, understand, and interpret plans and specifications. Additionally, you must demonstrate proficiency in using Primavera, Prolog, and Viewpoint, while remaining excellent with problem-solving and strategic planning.

If you are a mobile professional with a background in complex industrial infrastructure and a commitment to professional excellence, this position offers a pivotal opportunity to drive the success of some of the region's most essential construction projects. If this sounds like what you've been looking for, we want to talk with you.
