SummaryAre you the person who walks a site and sees the whole project before the first truck rolls in? Do you know that the best pours are won in the planning, long before the concrete arrives? We’re looking for a Traveling Senior Superintendent to lead our concrete paving projects and shape the next generation of our field leadership.
This isn’t a desk job, and it isn’t one job site forever. You’ll move where the work is, set projects up for success, and leave every crew and every Assistant Superintendent better than you found them.
Where You’ll BeOur ideal candidate is based in Houston, Texas, but we welcome applicants from other cities across Texas. If you have the experience and are ready to travel, we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Do:
Lead the field from mobilization through completion on DOT and heavy civil concrete paving projects
Own the pre-paving process: grade and subgrade readiness, forms and stringline, equipment staging, crew planning, material logistics, and pour sequencing
Mentor and train Assistant Superintendents, building their confidence, technical skills, and leadership instincts on the job
Be the calm, credible voice with general contractors, owners, inspectors, and clients, keeping communication clear, proactive, and professional
Keep projects safe, on schedule, and on spec, solving problems in real time without losing your cool
Travel to project sites across Texas and beyond as our work demands
What You Bring 10+ years of DOT or heavy civil construction experience, with concrete paving experience strongly preferred
Proven command of field logistics and preparation for large-scale paving projects
A track record of training, coaching, or mentoring field personnel
Strong verbal and written communication skills, especially in high-pressure conversations with GCs and clients
A steady, level-headed approach when schedules tighten or conditions change
Ability and willingness to travel 50% or more
Solid working knowledge of TxDOT or comparable DOT specifications and safety standards
Why You’ll Want This JobReal authority and real impact: you’ll be trusted to run the show and shape how we build
A leadership legacy: your mentorship will directly grow our next wave of superintendents
Variety: new projects, new challenges, new places
Competitive compensation, 401k matching, per diem, travel/lodging coverage, company truck or vehicle allowance, cell phone stipend, 3 weeks PTO
