Superintendent - Traveling

The role of Traveling Superintendent is essential to the success of the projects at Rock Spring Contracting. A Traveling Superintendent must have the ability to run multiple large commercial construction jobs and have knowledge and experience in the construction industry. This is a traveling position: the Traveling Superintendent will be assigned to projects in different locations and will live near the jobsite for the duration of each assignment, with housing paid for by Rock Spring Contracting.

The Traveling Superintendent is responsible for overseeing all field operations related to drywall and framing on commercial construction projects at locations outside of our home market, ensuring work is completed safely, on schedule, and in accordance with contract documents and quality standards. This role coordinates crews, subcontractors, materials, and equipment while maintaining productivity and resolving field issues. The Superintendent serves as the primary on-site liaison with general contractors, inspectors, and project management, ensuring clear communication and compliance with project requirements.

Strong leadership, technical expertise, and a proactive approach to safety and quality are essential to successfully deliver projects on time and within budget. In recognition of the travel demands of this role, the Traveling Superintendent receives enhanced compensation and paid housing at each project location.
