What is a post tension?

A Post Tension job involves working with post-tensioning systems, which are used to reinforce concrete structures such as bridges, buildings, and parking garages. Workers install high-strength steel tendons within concrete forms before the concrete is poured. Once the concrete cures, these tendons are tensioned and anchored to improve the structure’s strength and durability. This method reduces cracking, allows for longer spans, and enhances structural performance. Post-tensioning is widely used in construction to create lighter, more efficient designs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the post tension position, and why are they important?

To excel in a Post Tension role, you need a solid understanding of concrete construction, blueprint reading, and safe handling of post-tensioning systems, often supported by hands-on experience or industry certifications such as PTI (Post-Tensioning Institute) certification. Knowledge of tensioning equipment, hydraulic jacks, and safety protocols is essential for operating and maintaining post-tension systems. Strong teamwork, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills help ensure precision and coordination on busy construction sites. These skills are crucial for building structurally sound projects while minimizing safety risks and ensuring adherence to project specifications.

What does a post tension do?

A typical workday for a Post Tension professional involves setting up and installing post-tensioning cables, coordinating with the construction team to ensure correct placement, and operating specialized equipment to tension the cables to specified requirements. You’ll start with reviewing blueprints and safety plans, then work onsite to lay cables, monitor concrete pours, and perform tensioning according to project timelines. Daily responsibilities also include troubleshooting issues, maintaining equipment, and ensuring all work follows strict safety and quality standards. Collaboration with engineers, site supervisors, and other trades is a key part of the role, helping to ensure the finished structure meets all necessary codes and specifications.

Job description

Field Superintendent - High Rise Construction Project St. Joseph, Michigan
Job Type
fulltime
Description:

Join a Top 1% Contractor. Horizon Construction Group is ranked among the Top 250 ABC contractors nationwide and in the Top 2% of general contractors nationwide. With STEP Diamond safety performance, AQC accreditation, and a proven 40-year history of excellence, Horizon is where high performers grow, thrive, and make an impact.


We are seeking an experienced Field Superintendent to lead field operations for a complex high-rise project in St. Joseph, Michigan. This is a key site leadership role for a seasoned construction professional who thrives on tight logistics, complex sequencing, and high-quality execution from the ground up.


Project Overview:

  • Location: St. Joseph, Michigan
  • Project type: Seven-story high-rise with wood and concrete construction
  • Structural scope: Post-tension concrete with two underground levels
  • Site conditions: Tight site requiring strong coordination, planning, and daily field leadership
  • Project duration: Approximately 22 months
  • Peak field leadership: Three superintendents at peak project activity - this role is expected to be the site Lead
  • Construction start: Shoring begins in September.

Following this project, future project support is expected to be based in Michigan, Indiana and northeastern IL. Candidates who are open to traveling for other Midwest projects will be especially well positioned for long-term opportunities with HCG as our project needs continue to evolve.


What You'll Do:

  • Lead day-to-day field operations and coordinate subcontractors, trade partners, suppliers, inspectors, and project staff.
  • Drive the project schedule through strong short-interval planning, sequencing, and proactive issue resolution.
  • Oversee construction activities related to shoring, underground levels, post-tension concrete, wood framing, building systems, and finish progression.
  • Manage jobsite logistics on a tight site, including access, staging, deliveries, safety, and workflow coordination.
  • Maintain high standards for safety, quality, documentation, communication, and jobsite cleanliness.
  • Partner closely with the Project Manager and project team to identify risks, remove obstacles, and keep the project moving forward.
  • Lead coordination meetings, daily huddles, inspections, punch walks, and field communication with professionalism and urgency.

What Makes HCG a Great Place to Build Your Career:


At HCG, we build more than projects-we build long-term relationships, strong teams, and communities across the Midwest. Our work is meaningful and grounded in collaboration, accountability, and pride in craftsmanship. Field leaders at HCG are trusted to lead with ownership, solve problems in real time, and help deliver projects that make a lasting impact.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is an opportunity to take a visible leadership role on a challenging, high-profile project with complex structural components, a tight site, and a strong project team. The right candidate will bring the field leadership, technical knowledge, and steady execution needed to help deliver a successful 22-month build.


What We're Looking For:

  • Proven experience as a Field Superintendent or Construction Superintendent on large commercial, multifamily, mixed-use, high-rise, or similarly complex projects.
  • Strong experience with concrete structures; post-tension concrete experience is highly preferred.
  • Experience with underground construction, shoring, tight-site logistics, and multi-story construction is strongly preferred.
  • Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, schedules, shop drawings, and construction documents.
  • Strong knowledge of construction sequencing, subcontractor coordination, safety requirements, and quality control.
  • Confident leadership style with the ability to hold teams accountable while building strong working relationships.
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, planning, and follow-through skills.
