Industrial Design-Build Site Superintendent

Industrial Design-Build Site Superintendent

You arrive before sunrise at a manufacturing project site, step into the trailer you helped set up, review today’s look-ahead schedule, and brief subcontractors on safety and quality expectations. By mid‑morning you’re coordinating inspections and resolving a sequencing challenge that keeps the build on track. In the afternoon, you’re capturing field updates, confirming material deliveries, and preparing for tomorrow’s owner/architect coordination meeting.

That’s a day in the life of our Industrial Design-Build Site Superintendent.

We’re a leading design‑build general contractor delivering manufacturing facilities across Ohio and the U.S. We highly value industrial experience but also welcome seasoned commercial superintendents eager to step into industrial work.

This position will lead a Mansfield, OH manufacturing project from Sept. 2026 through Nov. 2027.
