The Opportunity

Grae-Con is seeking an experienced Project Superintendent to lead field operations across commercial and industrial construction projects throughout the Ohio Valley region.

This is a strong fit for a superintendent who enjoys running the job in the field, coordinating self-perform crews and subcontractors, solving problems before they affect the schedule, and working on a variety of project types rather than one narrow specialty.

Grae-Con has built its reputation on long-term client relationships, repeat business, and a stable, experienced workforce. Many team members have built decades-long careers with the company, and current openings are tied in part to retirements and long-term succession planning.

How You Will Make an Impact

• Lead daily field operations on commercial, industrial, healthcare, education, government, and renovation projects.
• Coordinate self-perform crews, subcontractors, vendors, project managers, and client representatives.
• Maintain jobsite safety, quality, schedule, and production expectations.
• Review drawings, specifications, schedules, and site conditions to identify issues before they impact progress.
• Manage day-to-day manpower, materials, equipment, subcontractor activity, and jobsite logistics.
• Lead toolbox talks, safety coordination, and field communication.
• Support project managers with schedule updates, field documentation, and issue resolution.
• Keep projects moving in active, occupied, or phased environments such as schools, hospitals, and industrial facilities.
• Mentor foremen, assistant superintendents, and field employees as part of Grae-Con’s long-term team culture.
• 
  

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a hands-on field leader with strong commercial construction experience and the ability to run small-to-mid-sized projects independently.

Grae-Con is especially interested in candidates who have experience with:

• Commercial general contracting.
• Self-perform construction environments.
• Managing both internal craft labor and subcontractors.
• Projects typically ranging from approximately $3M–$6M, with some larger projects in the $12M–$20M range.
• Renovations, additions, ground-up construction, and occupied-space projects.
• Hospitals, schools, industrial buildings, foundations, and pre-engineered metal buildings.
• Coordinating work in union construction environments.

Required Qualifications

• 7–10+ years of construction field leadership experience.
• Superintendent experience in commercial, industrial, institutional, or similar construction environments.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, schedules, and jobsite documentation.
• Experience coordinating subcontractors, vendors, field crews, and project managers.
• Strong understanding of jobsite safety, sequencing, scheduling, manpower planning, and quality control.
• Ability to communicate clearly with owners, project managers, trades, inspectors, and internal teams.
• Willingness to work across Grae-Con’s regional project footprint in the Ohio Valley.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with self-performing general contractors.
• Experience managing union craft labor or working in a union construction environment.
• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30.
• Background in carpentry, concrete, civil, structural, or commercial building construction.
• Experience in hospitals, schools, industrial facilities, or occupied renovation work.
• Ability to be hands-on when appropriate, while still leading the overall job as superintendent.
• Experience with CPM scheduling, look-ahead schedules, and field production tracking.

Union Environment

Grae-Con operates in a union construction environment.

Union experience is preferred, but it is not required for the Project Superintendent role. The right candidate may come from a union or non-union background, as long as they can successfully lead field operations, coordinate craft labor and subcontractors, and work effectively within Grae-Con’s project structure.

Candidates who have experience working with union trades, managing jurisdictional requirements, or leading self-perform crews will be especially relevant.

Compensation & Benefits

Grae-Con offers a competitive compensation package, including:

• Annual salary range of $90,000–$130,000, based on experience.
• Performance bonus eligibility.
• Profit sharing eligibility.
• Health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Company-provided tools, technology, or equipment as required for the role.
• Travel support or per diem for applicable regional assignments.
• Training and safety development opportunities.
