The Opportunity

A well-established and highly respected construction company is seeking an experienced Senior Construction Superintendent to lead field operations for a major energy infrastructure project in Southern California.

This is a newly created, high-impact, permanent position supporting a large-scale and complex solar and electrical infrastructure project.
