Do you love running a jobsite and seeing a building rise from the foundation up? An established federal general contractor is hiring a Federal Construction Superintendent in Columbia to lead field operations on government and military building projects across South Carolina.

- Champion safety on site and enforce OSHA and EM 385-1-1 requirements every day
- Supervise, coach and develop field staff and craft labor
- Partner with your project manager, quality control manager and safety officer to keep the project on track
What You Bring
- 5+ years as a superintendent and 10+ years of commercial or federal construction experience
- Hands-on knowledge of concrete, steel, light-gauge framing, finishes and MEP coordination
- Strong grasp of concrete best practices, including mix designs, admixtures, curing and hot and cold weather procedures
- OSHA 10 certification within the last five years; OSHA 30 and CQM-C are a plus
- Federal, military or USACE project experience preferred
- Ability to read drawings and specifications and write clear daily reports
- A steady leadership style and the ability to work well with people from every trade and background
What We Offer
