Superintendent, Construction

Location:

Traveling throughout the South Central and Southeast U.S.

Core Wise's client is looking for a Traveling Commercial Construction Superintendent who can take ownership of a jobsite and keep the project moving.

You'll lead field execution, manage subcontractors, protect the schedule, communicate with owners and Project Managers, and make day-to-day decisions without needing constant direction.

Projects may include restaurants, QSRs, truck stops, retail renovations and other commercial work. Some are repeatable builds. Others are more custom or design-build, where every detail may not be fully documented before work begins.

This is a company that values integrity, trust, relationships, commitment, safety and consistency
. They expect people to do what they say they're going to do, take ownership of the work and represent the company well in the field.

• Lead jobsite operations from mobilization through closeout
• Manage subcontractors and coordinate self-performing crews when needed
• Maintain schedules, weekly updates and two-week look-aheads
• Complete daily reports, photos and field documentation
• Communicate clearly with Project Managers, subcontractors, owners and store leadership
• Make field decisions independently and elevate issues that could significantly affect budget or project outcomes
• Maintain a clean, organized and safe jobsite
• Work effectively in active environments where customers or employees may remain onsite
• Step in on minor field needs when necessary to keep the project moving

Strong candidates will likely bring:

• Significant commercial Superintendent experience, ideally around 10 years
• Strong restaurant or QSR construction experience
• Experience with truck stops, active retail, renovations or interior buildouts is highly valuable
• Strong understanding of construction schedules and field coordination
• Experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), formerly Plan Grid
• Good judgment, organization and follow-through
• A hands-on mindset and basic field capability
• A strong commitment to safety and consistent jobsite standards
• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 is a plus
• Valid driver's license and ability to meet background check and drug screening requirements

Travel may extend west to Texas, north to Oklahoma and east to Florida. Some projects may allow for weekends home, while others may require being away for up to two weeks at a time.

• Company truck
• Company credit card
• Hotel and/or camper allowance

Benefits include health insurance, 401(k) and paid vacation.

This is a good fit for someone who likes ownership, communicates well and takes pride in running a professional jobsite.

The company is family-oriented and not overly corporate. They expect people to handle their work, follow through and represent the company well, but they also believe strong relationships matter. Even in a role that requires travel, they want their people to have room for family and important commitments outside of work when the job is covered.

If you value doing what you say you're going to do, taking care of people, working safely and showing up consistently
, you'll likely fit well here.
