Austin, TX / Central Texas

A Unique Opportunity with a Longstanding Texas Construction Leader

We have maintained a longtime partnership with this highly respected, Texas-born Design-Build Construction Firm, whose strategic initiatives and longstanding client relationships have contributed to continued year-over-year growth.

As part of its ongoing expansion, the company has engaged us exclusively to identify a key addition to its Austin, TX Division.

This is not simply another Superintendent opening. It is an opportunity to lead major construction projects while helping establish the standards, processes, and field leadership structure that will support the continued growth of a highly successful, century-old construction organization.

About This Opportunity: Senior Construction Superintendent

Our client is seeking an experienced Senior Superintendent to take a comprehensive leadership role within its expanding Austin Division.

This position involves overseeing the full scope of construction, from ground-up operations through interior buildout, advanced MEP coordination, commissioning, and final project turnover.

Beyond the initial project, this newly established leadership opportunity offers the ability to influence how construction operations are structured, managed, and developed, with a direct path toward increasingly significant leadership responsibilities.

Your initial major project is just the beginning.

Value & Importance of This New Role

  • Created directly by the firm’s Partners as part of its long-term strategic growth initiatives.
  • As the company continues delivering increasingly complex projects approaching $100M in construction value, leadership is investing in the field leadership capabilities necessary to support its continued expansion.
  • This position will be instrumental in strengthening overall construction execution, establishing operational standards, and building the foundation for future growth.
  • Work closely with divisional leadership to help shape the long-term direction, structure, and capabilities of the company’s Austin construction operations.
  • Play a foundational role in developing the teams, processes, and leadership structure that will support future projects.

Your Initial Project & Construction Leadership Responsibilities

  • Take a hands-on leadership role overseeing an initial $60M+ Advanced Manufacturing project in Central Texas.
  • Lead the complete field construction effort, from initial site development and ground-up construction through interior buildout, MEP systems, commissioning, and final turnover.
  • Direct subcontractor coordination, scheduling, construction sequencing, quality, safety, and overall field execution.
  • Oversee coordination of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and specialty building systems as part of the broader construction operation.
  • Work closely with project management, design teams, subcontractors, and other stakeholders to identify and resolve constructability issues, trade conflicts, and scheduling challenges.
  • Establish clear expectations for subcontractor performance, project milestones, workmanship, and accountability.
  • Lead field operations through system startup, testing, commissioning, inspections, and successful project completion.
  • Provide hands-on construction leadership while helping establish the processes and operating standards that will support future projects.

This is a full-project leadership opportunity—not a position limited to one phase of construction or a specific trade.

Set the Standards, Processes, Procedures & Best Practices

  • Play a foundational role in establishing the construction standards, best practices, processes, and procedures that will guide the Austin Division’s continued growth.
  • Develop and implement documented systems and operating standards that future team members will adopt, refine, and build upon for years to come.
  • Help establish consistent expectations for project execution, scheduling, subcontractor coordination, quality, safety, and accountability.
  • Work with divisional leadership to develop construction processes that support increasingly complex projects.
  • Help establish a field construction operation that you can ultimately build, develop, and lead.

Build Your Own Team

As the Austin, TX Division continues its impressive growth trajectory, you will play an instrumental role in building and developing its field leadership team, including:

  • Helping establish the organizational structure and future field positions.
  • Playing a direct role in onboarding and developing future team members.
  • Mentoring and developing Superintendents, Assistant Superintendents, and other field construction professionals.
  • Establishing expectations, accountability, and operational standards as the team expands.
  • Building a team and leadership structure capable of supporting the division’s long-term growth.

This is an opportunity to be instrumental in building and developing the field operations team—not simply inherit an existing one.

Day-One Leadership, Compensation Flexibility & Executive Advancement

  • A True “Doer-Leader” Opportunity: Initially take a hands-on leadership role on a $70M+ Advanced Manufacturing project in Central Texas while helping establish the operational standards, team structure, and field leadership capabilities necessary for future growth.
  • No Predetermined Compensation Ceiling: A Partner of the company has directly confirmed that compensation is not restricted by a predetermined ceiling. The company is prioritizing the right individual and is prepared to evaluate compensation based on experience, capabilities, and the leadership value that individual brings to the organization.
  • No Glass Ceiling on Advancement: The same Partner has confirmed that there is no predetermined limit on how far the right individual can advance within the company. Career progression will be driven by capabilities, performance, leadership contributions, and the continued growth of the organization.
  • Clearly Defined Leadership Advancement: Our client is open to establishing a clearly defined advancement plan that reflects the individual’s experience, professional ambitions, performance, and long-term leadership potential.
  • Long-Term Executive Leadership Potential: As the Austin Division continues to expand, this position offers the opportunity to grow beyond direct project oversight into broader operational leadership, including potential future Director and Executive-level responsibilities.
  • Long-Term Incentives & Profit-Sharing Potential: The company’s leadership structure and continued growth create opportunities for future participation in long-term incentive and profit-sharing arrangements, subject to the individual’s role, contributions, and applicable company programs.
  • Your Impact Extends Beyond One Project: The initial assignment provides the platform to establish the standards, team, and operational structure that will support future projects throughout the division.

Direct Influence on the Division’s Future

  • Work directly with divisional and executive leadership to help shape the long-term direction, structure, and capabilities of construction operations.
  • Have a meaningful voice in operations, resource planning, team development, project execution strategies, and future growth initiatives.
  • Help establish the construction standards, systems, and leadership structure necessary to support increasingly sophisticated projects.
  • Build relationships with company leadership while demonstrating the capabilities and vision necessary for progressively greater responsibility.
  • Play an instrumental role in supporting the continued expansion of the company’s Austin and Central Texas operations.

This is an opportunity to help build and shape a growing construction operation, not simply manage projects within one.

Ideal Background & Experience

  • Proven Lead Superintendent, Senior Superintendent, or experienced Project Superintendent with a strong track record overseeing complex ground-up construction projects.
  • Demonstrated success leading commercial, industrial, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, mission critical, and/or other complex projects from initial field operations through completion and turnover.
  • Experience overseeing both ground-up construction and interior buildout, including coordination of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and specialty building systems.
  • Strong understanding of construction scheduling, subcontractor management, installation sequencing, constructability, quality, safety, and overall project execution.
  • Ability to lead multiple trades and coordinate effectively with project management, design professionals, subcontractors, and ownership representatives.
  • Experience overseeing technically sophisticated projects with significant MEP coordination requirements.
  • A hands-on, solutions-oriented leader with the ambition and capability to establish standards, mentor others, and build a growing team.
