Superintendent (Assistant, I, II, Senior) - Talent Pool

Superintendent (Assistant, I, II, Senior)

Samet Corporation | Greensboro, NC · Raleigh, NC · Charlotte, NC · Wilmington, NC · Charleston, SC · Savannah, GA

This is an evergreen talent-pipeline posting open across all six Samet offices - not a specific, currently open position.

Great careers rarely start with perfect timing. That's why we like to meet strong Superintendents before a seat opens up. Applying here puts you on our radar across all six Samet offices-so when the right opportunity fits, whether that's now or a few months down the road, we already know you and you already know us. No perfect timing required; we'd just love to start the conversation.

Superintendents are the field leaders who turn plans into buildings. At Samet, you'll own day-to-day site operations - directing trades, managing the schedule, enforcing safety, and holding the quality line - so projects finish safely, on time, on budget, and to the standard our clients expect. You are the person who sets the tone on the job site.

This is where leadership shows up in hard hats and look-ahead schedules. You'll coordinate subcontractors, mentor the field team, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with project management to deliver The Samet Way. Whether you're stepping up from a Field Engineer role or running large, complex work, this is where you build your reputation-and the careers of the people around you.
