Geostructural Superintendent

Department: Operations | Location: Roxboro, NC

About the role

This position reports to our Industrial Division and will travel with our Geostructural team throughout the Southeast. Our growing Industrial Division is a multi-disciplined construction group that self-performs Concrete, Electrical, Structural, and Pipe scopes in industrial process facilities. Based in our Spartanburg office, the division performs work throughout the Southeast. We are seeking a discipline-specific (civil/electrical/pipe/structural) or multi-disciplined Superintendent to continue our growth. The ideal candidate is a strong leader who acts with integrity and leads by example.

Core scopes include:

• Design Build Geostructural/Geotechnical Construction
• Traditional and Specialty Foundation piles (Driven piles, Sheet piles, Micropiles, Helical piers, etc.)

• Vertical Structural Shoring Systems (Existing Structure Bracing, Emergency Structural Supports, etc.)
• Grouting and Shotcrete Systems (Shotcrete Walls, Rock Anchors, Tiebacks, etc.)

Scopes sometimes come from engineered drawings provided by clients, but often are developed collaboratively with the client in response to unique site conditions. This requires strong problem-solving skills and a desire to develop solutions balancing constructability and design.
