Industrial Design-Build Field Superintendent

Industrial Design-Build Field Superintendent

You arrive at a manufacturing site in Ohio before sunrise. The site trailer is already humming — permits are posted, sanitary stations are stocked, and the day’s plan is pinned to the wall. Crews are looking to you for direction. Inspectors are scheduled. Materials are en route. As the on-site lead for a leading design-build general contractor, you orchestrate every moving part to keep complex industrial projects safe, on schedule, on budget, and built to spec.
