About Prairie Landworks:
Prairie Landworks is a growing contractor delivering civil infrastructure, industrial, and commercial building projects across central Kansas. We provide complete construction solutions - from site development and utilities to commercial buildings and industrial facilities.
We don't just build to plan and spec - we build with character and integrity, delivering the quality we would expect if we were building for ourselves.
Unlike many general contractors, we self-perform portions of our work - including earthwork, utilities, and concrete. This allows us to maintain control, accountability, and predictable performance in the field.
Teamwork, optimism, and hard work are at the heart of everything we do to improve lives through construction in our communities.
We are seeking a Superintendent - General Construction / Building who exemplifies our core values of

  • Develop foremen and trade relationships
  • Strengthen communication between office and field
  • Reinforce safety and accountability standards
Operational Improvement
  • Improve daily planning discipline
  • Reduce rework through better coordination
  • Strengthen schedule reliability
About you:
You have:
  • 5+ years of commercial or building construction experience
  • Experience leading field operations on subcontractor-driven projects
  • Experience coordinating structural, architectural, and MEP trades
  • Experience overseeing self-performed scopes (concrete, utilities, or site work preferred)
  • Strong understanding of schedule sequencing and field production
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings

You are authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship and can pass a background and driving record check.
You are:
  • A field leader first
  • Organized and proactive
  • Firm but fair - warm, but not soft
  • Comfortable holding subcontractors accountable
  • Safety-focused and detail-oriented
  • Calm under pressure and solution-oriented

Even better (but not required):
  • Experience in structural concrete
  • Experience with municipal or public facility projects
  • Experience on industrial or manufacturing sites
  • Experience coordinating structural concrete
  • Familiarity with HCSS daily reporting systems
  • Familiarity with GPS machine control

You'll work across commercial, municipal, and industrial building projects - not repetitive subdivision or tenant-finish-only work.Balance
  • Target 45-50 hour work week
  • Early Fridays
  • 3 weeks PTO + 7.5 paid holidays, plus your birthday off after 1 year
  • 90-mile service radius - home nightly with rare exceptions

  • Strong office support team
  • Collaborative culture between PM and Superintendent
Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary range: $85,000 - $110,000 DOE
