Hydronic Pipe Superintendent

About the role

The Hydronic Piping Superintendent directs and coordinates all hydronic and process piping field activities on complex industrial projects. This role oversees field crews and subcontractors, ensures high-quality installation of hydronic and industrial piping systems, and drives project safety, productivity, and schedule performance. The superintendent collaborates closely with project management, engineering, and BIM/VDC teams to deliver technically sophisticated projects in sectors such as pharmaceutical, life science, semiconductor, manufacturing, power generation, data centers, and other advanced industrial facilities.

This role is based on active industrial construction sites and involves daily interaction with field crews, project teams, and trade partners. The superintendent works in environments such as pharmaceutical, life science, semiconductor, manufacturing, power generation, data center, and other advanced industrial facilities. The position requires frequent movement around the jobsite, including standing, walking, bending, and lifting up to 50 pounds, as well as climbing ladders, working at heights, and accessing confined spaces when required. Travel is expected based on project assignments and regional needs. The work environment is highly collaborative and technology-driven, utilizing tools such as Procore, Bluebeam, Navisworks, BIM 360, and BIM/VDC models to coordinate complex installations. Safety is a core value, with regular safety meetings, pre-task planning, and strict adherence to OSHA and site-specific safety requirements.
