Senior Superintendent

Position Title: Senior Superintendent

A corrosion control facility for F-16s is rising from the ground at Lackland Air Force Base, and the Senior Superintendent will own the field execution of it. The project is a ground-up build of roughly 15,000 square feet, essentially a large paint booth for fighter aircraft, with many subcontractors and many moving parts to coordinate. The superintendent sets the pace on site, works directly with ownership, and is trusted to execute without hand-holding.

The employer is a privately owned, family-oriented federal contractor that builds about $30M in work a year and continues to grow. Ownership is accessible, the chain of command is short, and flexibility runs both ways. Time off is respected and the work gets made up. More work is planned after this project, primarily at Joint Base San Antonio sites under a large IDIQ contract, with room to grow for those who perform well.

Salary Range: $120,000 - $135,000 / Year DOE
