Construction Superintendent

Job Description The Construction Superintendent is the senior field leader for Optimum Energy on the T1 project in Rockdale, Texas. This role reports to the Construction Project Manager and runs major construction scopes independently, leads field operations, manages risk, and serves as the primary field representative to the owner, design team, and project partners. The Superintendent owns site safety, sequencing, quality, productivity, and closeout, and works with the Construction Project Manager on cost, change control, and schedule. The role also owns site stores management.
