How to become a project superintendent?

Becoming a project superintendent requires a significant amount of experience within the construction industry. Most companies hire superintendents who were previously site supervisors and workers-in-charge. Qualifications often include having a bachelor’s degree in construction management, building science, engineering, or a related field. However, employers frequently accept experience in lieu of a degree. Companies look for superintendents who have certification through recognized superintendent certification programs. Other certifications, such as the Gold Seal Certifications, also make you more attractive to employers. You must have prior leadership experience, as you are responsible for all workers at your site.
