Construction Superintendent

Clark's Lansing office is seeking a Superintendent to lead daily field execution on K-12 construction projects across Northern Michigan. This role ensures the delivery of safe, high-quality spaces while coordinating dozens of moving parts inside active school environments. Based in Alpena, serving districts across Northern Michigan—ideal candidates may live near Alpena, Atlanta, West Branch, and other surrounding areas.

About the Role

You'll own what happens in the field every day—leading trade contractors, enforcing safety standards, and maintaining schedule discipline—while partnering with your Project Manager on overall project strategy. School construction is unique: buildings are occupied, students are present, summer schedules are compressed, and opening-day deadlines are fixed.

Responsibilities

• Plan and lead 2-4 week look-ahead execution
• Coordinate daily trade sequencing and site logistics
• Enforce safety, cleanliness, and occupied-building protocols
• Verify schedule alignment with your Project Manager
• Lead weekly trade coordination meetings
• Maintain detailed daily reports and documentation
• Drive quality closeout with minimal punch list
• Represent Clark professionally with district staff and administrators

What Success Looks Like

In year one, you're confidently leading execution in occupied schools, coordinating trades around academic schedules, and delivering on opening-day commitments. Over time, you're trusted with larger or more complex projects and mentoring Assistant Superintendents learning K-12 work.

Requirements

• 5+ years as a Superintendent in commercial construction
• K-12 or occupied-building experience preferred
• Strong short-term planning and trade coordination skills
• Clear, firm leadership presence on site
• Deep commitment to safety and quality
• Proficiency with Phoenix, ProjectSight, Bluebeam
• Reliable transportation and mobility on active sites

Benefits
