Construction Superintendent

Jamail & Smith Construction is expanding into Louisiana
, and we’re looking for an experienced Commercial Construction Superintendent to help build our presence in the Baton Rouge market.

For more than four decades, Jamail & Smith has built its reputation by successfully delivering construction projects for public-sector clients, with Job Order Contracting (JOC) at the core of what we do. Now, we’re bringing that experience, operational approach, and commitment to client service to Louisiana.

This is an opportunity to do more than run a jobsite. As an early member of our Louisiana team, you’ll have the opportunity to help establish our field operations, develop relationships with local subcontractors and trade partners, and set the standard for how Jamail & Smith projects are executed throughout the region.

Our work is focused primarily within the K-12, higher education, government, and municipal sectors
, where projects often take place in occupied and active facilities and require strong planning, communication, flexibility, and field leadership. If you’re a Superintendent who takes ownership of the jobsite, knows how to keep subcontractors moving, and thrives in a fast-paced environment where no two projects are exactly alike, we want to hear from you!

Founded in 1982,
Jamail & Smith Construction has built a strong reputation for delivering construction services to public entities through Job Order Contracting (JOC), Competitive Sealed Proposals (CSP), and other construction delivery methods
. Our teams understand the unique demands of public-sector construction. Working in schools, universities, government buildings, and municipal facilities requires more than technical construction knowledge—it requires careful planning, responsiveness, professionalism, and the ability to complete work safely while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations.

As we expand beyond Texas and establish our presence in Louisiana
, we’re looking for field leaders who want to bring that same standard of execution and client service to a new market.

As a Superintendent in Baton Rouge, you will serve as the on-site leader responsible for the day-to-day field execution of assigned construction projects
, from mobilization through final completion and closeout. Because much of our work is delivered through Job Order Contracting
, our Superintendents must be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where projects may vary in size, scope, complexity, and duration.

You’ll work closely with Project Managers, subcontractors, clients, facility personnel, architects, engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure every project is completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and to Jamail & Smith’s quality standards
. You’ll also play an important role in establishing our field presence in Louisiana by building relationships with local trade partners and helping create the operational foundation for our continued growth in the Baton Rouge market.
