Aviation Fuel Tank Superintendent - Mechanical

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Superintendent to oversee the construction of aviation fuel storage tanks and related mechanical systems. This role requires strong leadership of field crews, deep practical knowledge of tank fabrication and erection, and hands‑on background as a tradesperson, particularly in welding door sheets (manways/access doors) and constructing tank roofs. The successful candidate will ensure safe, high‑quality, on‑schedule delivery of projects that meet strict aviation fuel handling and API standards.

• Supervise all mechanical construction activities for aviation fuel tanks, including shell erection, roof construction (fixed and/or floating roofs), nozzle and manway installation, and associated piping and appurtenances.
• Plan, coordinate, and direct daily work of welders, fitters, ironworkers, and other craft personnel on tank projects.
• Ensure proper execution of critical trades work, drawing on personal experience welding door sheets/manways and constructing tank roofs.
• Enforce strict adherence to project specifications, API 650 (or applicable codes), welding procedures (WPS/PQR), quality control plans, and aviation fuel system cleanliness/purity requirements.
• Coordinate with Project Managers, Engineers, QC Inspectors, Safety personnel, and other superintendents to maintain schedule, resolve field issues, and manage interfaces.
• Conduct daily toolbox talks, safety inspections, and pre-task planning; promote a strong safety culture on site.
• Monitor productivity, material deliveries, equipment needs, and workforce allocation; identify and mitigate delays or bottlenecks.
• Review drawings, isometric packages, and work packages; provide constructability input and field solutions.
• Oversee fit-up, welding, NDE support, and dimensional control for tank shells, roofs, floors, and penetrations.
• Maintain accurate daily reports, progress tracking, and as-built documentation.
• Mentor junior supervisors and craft personnel while upholding high standards of workmanship.
