Federal Construction Superintendent

Do you love running a jobsite and seeing a building rise from the foundation up? An established federal general contractor is hiring a Federal Construction Superintendent in Columbia to lead field operations on government and military building projects across South Carolina. You'll own the schedule in the field, keep crews safe and productive, and work with a team that self-performs concrete and has a steady backlog of federal work.

• Make sure work is installed to the approved plans, specs and federal quality standards
• Champion safety on site and enforce OSHA and EM 385-1-1 requirements every day
• Supervise, coach and develop field staff and craft labor
• Partner with your project manager, quality control manager and safety officer to keep the project on track

What You Bring

• 5+ years as a superintendent and 10+ years of commercial or federal construction experience
• Hands-on knowledge of concrete, steel, light-gauge framing, finishes and MEP coordination
• Strong grasp of concrete best practices, including mix designs, admixtures, curing and hot and cold weather procedures
• OSHA 10 certification within the last five years; OSHA 30 and CQM-C are a plus
• Federal, military or USACE project experience preferred
• Ability to read drawings and specifications and write clear daily reports
• A steady leadership style and the ability to work well with people from every trade and background

What We Offer

• Competitive salary, bonus and benefits
• Health and dental insurance, plus company-paid life and long-term disability coverage

• Relocation assistance and a living allowance where applicable
