Construction Superintendent

Looking for a Superintendent role where you’re trusted to run the job—not just follow a schedule?

At McGrath, our Superintendents lead from the front. You’re the one setting the tone on-site—driving safety, quality, and production while building strong relationships with crews and clients.

We’re a 100% employee-owned construction manager and general contractor with a strong backlog of industrial, pharmaceutical, and commercial work—and we’re growing.

What you’ll actually be doing:

• Leading day-to-day field operations on active construction projects
• Managing subcontractors, crews, and jobsite coordination
• Driving project schedules and holding teams accountable
• Ensuring safety, quality, and productivity on-site
• Coordinating with Project Managers to keep projects on track
• Building strong relationships with clients, inspectors, and trade partners

Why Superintendents choose McGrath:

• You’re trusted to lead – not micromanaged from the office
• Employee-owned – your work directly impacts your future
• Strong project pipeline – steady, meaningful work
• Team-focused culture – PMs and field actually work together
• A company built on integrity, accountability, and doing things right

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience leading construction projects in the field
• Strong knowledge of plans, specifications, and all major trades (MEP included)
• Ability to manage schedules, sequencing, and jobsite logistics
• Leadership mindset—someone crews respect and want to work for
• Strong communication with both field teams and clients
• OSHA 30 certification

Bonus if you have:

• Experience in industrial, pharmaceutical, or healthcare construction
• Background in self-perform work (concrete, civil, etc.)
• Experience with scheduling software

What you get:

• Professional or Union position (Carpenters or Laborers)
• Company vehicle (based on eligibility) and technology
• Paid time off + holidays
• Long-term, stable work with a respected contractor
• A place where your experience and leadership actually matter

If you’re a Superintendent who:

• Takes pride in running a clean, safe, and efficient jobsite
• Wants to work with a team that respects field leadership
• Is looking for long-term stability—not constant turnover
