Site Superintendent

About the role

BlastOne is looking for an experienced Site Superintendent to take field leadership of major industrial equipment installation and construction projects across North America. This is not a desk-based construction management role. You will be BlastOne's senior representative on site, deployed to major projects for several months at a time and responsible for driving the day-to-day execution of the work. You will coordinate subcontractors, BlastOne technicians, mechanical and electrical trades, equipment installation, site logistics, safety, quality and schedule. Working closely with the Project Manager, you will be the person on the ground who knows what is happening today, what needs to happen next, what is standing in the way and what we're doing about it.

Responsibilities

• Serve as BlastOne's senior day-to-day representative on the project site.
• Lead and coordinate BlastOne personnel, subcontractors, technicians and other trades.
• Own day-to-day field execution and keep the project moving safely and efficiently.
• Own and maintain the rolling 2–3 week field look-ahead schedule, ensuring manpower, materials, equipment, access and predecessor activities are ready before work begins.
• Coordinate structural, mechanical, electrical, controls and equipment installation activities.
• Hold subcontractors accountable for manpower, productivity, quality and schedule commitments.
• Lead daily and weekly field coordination and planning.
• Identify constraints and problems early and drive them through to resolution.
• Read and interpret construction drawings, equipment layouts, specifications and 3D/BIM models.
• Coordinate with BlastOne engineering, controls and equipment specialists when additional technical expertise is required.
• Manage site logistics, equipment deliveries, staging, lifting and installation sequencing.
• Maintain strong safety and quality standards across the jobsite.
• Complete accurate daily reports, progress documentation, photographs, RFIs, observations and punch lists in Procore.
• Recognize changed conditions, additional scope and potential schedule or cost impacts and document them appropriately.
• Support equipment startup, testing, commissioning and final project turnover.
• Maintain a professional, solutions-focused relationship with our customers, general contractors and project partners.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in industrial construction, commercial construction, heavy construction, industrial equipment installation or a related field.
• Demonstrated success leading people and subcontractors in the field.
• Strong construction and field leadership experience.
• Experience managing multiple subcontractors and trades.
• Solid understanding of mechanical and electrical construction.
• Ability to read construction drawings, specifications and equipment layouts.
• Experience developing and executing short-term construction schedules and look-ahead plans.
• Strong understanding of construction safety and quality.
• Good computer and technology skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Confidence to communicate effectively with tradespeople, subcontractors, engineers, customers and senior management.
• Practical, hands-on approach to solving problems.
• Ability to stay organized and positive when projects get difficult.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Procore, AutoCAD drawings and BIM/3D models.
• Experience with industrial equipment installation, manufacturing facilities, shipyards, blast and paint facilities, mechanical systems, electrical systems, controls, commissioning or other technically complex industrial projects.
• A Construction Management or Engineering degree.

Travel

Our Site Superintendents are deployed to their projects. A typical assignment may mean living near the project site for several months through installation and commissioning before moving to another project. This is not a weekly fly-in/fly-out position. While deployed, BlastOne provides one company-paid travel weekend per month, allowing travel home or to another destination within North America, coordinated around project requirements. Between project assignments, you may return home before your next deployment.
