Field Installation Superintendent - Remote, Traveling PositionRegular Full-Time US
Lead the Crew. Build Something That Lasts.
The Field Installation Superintendent is the leader on the job site, ensuring every installation is completed safely, on time, within budget, and to the high-quality standards our customers expect from GFS. If you enjoy leading teams, solving problems on the fly, and seeing projects come together from the ground up, this is the role for you. In this position, you'll keep projects moving by coordinating field activities, monitoring progress, overseeing material deliveries, and making sure work is completed safely and efficiently.
You'll be the go-to resource for your installation team while working closely with project managers, general contractors, engineers, customers, and subcontractors to keep everyone aligned and projects on track. When challenges arise (and they will) you'll jump in, find solutions, and keep the momentum going. Every project is different, so no two days are exactly alike. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy leading by example, and take pride in delivering exceptional results, you'll fit right in at GFS.
