The Area Lead Instrumentation Superintendent is responsible for the safe, efficient, and predictable execution of direct-hire instrumentation scope within an assigned project area. The role provides field leadership for instrumentation construction from work-front development through installation, testing, system completion, and turnover.
The Area Lead Instrumentation Superintendent is accountable for translating the project schedule into executable field plans, including development and management of detailed 3-week look-ahead plans and 90-day execution plans, establishing craft staffing requirements and manpower curves, and ensuring labor, materials, engineering, equipment, and access are aligned with planned work.
This position leads and supports Instrumentation Superintendents, General Foremen, Foremen, and direct-hire craft while coordinating closely with Engineering, Planning, Procurement, Quality, Startup/Commissioning, other construction disciplines, and subcontractors to remove constraints and maintain area priorities. #LI-CL1

• * Provides overall field leadership for direct-hire instrumentation construction activities within the assigned area and is accountable for safety, quality, productivity, schedule, and execution performance.
  * Develops, maintains, and drives the 3-week look-ahead schedule, ensuring work is properly sequenced, measurable, constraint-free, and aligned with project milestones.
  * Develops and manages a 90-day execution plan identifying upcoming work fronts, required engineering, materials, equipment, access, predecessor activities, staffing needs, and potential schedule risks.
  * Develops and maintains craft manpower curves based on quantities, productivity assumptions, available work fronts, and schedule requirements. Adjusts staffing plans as conditions and priorities change.
  * Directly manages craft execution and provides leadership and direction to Instrumentation Superintendents, General Foremen, Foremen, and craft personnel.
  * Supports other area Superintendents by helping resolve execution issues, balancing craft resources, coordinating shared work fronts, and ensuring consistent execution practices across the instrumentation organization.
  * Reviews planned versus actual quantities, installed production, earned hours, productivity, and staffing to identify performance gaps and implement recovery actions when required.
  * Ensures sufficient ready-to-work backlog is maintained for the craft and proactively identifies constraints before they impact field execution.
  * Coordinates instrumentation installation activities including, as applicable, field instruments, instrument supports, tubing, control and instrumentation cabling, terminations, panels/RIO cabinets, junction boxes, calibration, testing, and associated system completion activities.
  * Ensures installation sequencing supports downstream loop checks, functional testing, commissioning, energization/startup, and system turnover requirements.
  * Works closely with Planning to ensure construction schedules accurately represent field conditions, realistic production rates, sequence, manpower loading, and remaining quantities.
  * Coordinates with Engineering to resolve design issues, RFIs, constructability concerns, late design changes, and field conditions that could impact installation.
  * Coordinates with Procurement and Material Management to ensure required instruments, bulk materials, specialty materials, and vendor equipment are available ahead of planned installation dates.
  * Reviews work packages and installation plans to verify required drawings, specifications, materials, permits, access, tools, equipment, and predecessor work are complete before releasing work to the field.
  * Coordinates closely with Electrical, Piping, Mechanical, Structural, Civil, and other disciplines to manage interfaces, congestion, access, shared resources, and work sequencing.
  * Maintains awareness of critical-path and near-critical-path activities and takes proactive action to prevent instrumentation scope from impacting project milestones.
  

• Requires bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) and 10-13 years of relevant experience or 14-17 years of relevant work experience in lieu of a degree.

* Extensive experience supervising direct-hire instrumentation construction on large industrial, manufacturing, mission-critical, or similarly complex projects.
* Demonstrated ability to lead multiple Superintendents, General Foremen, Foremen, and large direct-hire craft organizations.
* Strong understanding of instrumentation construction methods, installation sequencing, testing, calibration, loop-checking, system completion, and turnover.
* Proven ability to develop and manage 3-week look-ahead schedules and 90-day construction plans.
* Strong understanding of craft loading, manpower forecasting, manpower curves, productivity measurement, quantity tracking, and schedule recovery planning.
* Ability to evaluate planned versus actual performance and convert schedule and productivity data into specific field actions.
* Strong understanding of work-front planning and the relationship between engineering, materials, predecessor activities, access, labor, equipment, testing, and turnover.
* Ability to manage multiple competing priorities while maintaining focus on critical project milestones.
* Strong field leadership skills with the ability to coach and develop subordinate Superintendents and field leadership.
* Ability to work across disciplines and organizational boundaries to resolve constraints and maintain project-wide priorities rather than focusing solely on an individual area.
* Strong communication and coordination skills with Construction Management, Engineering, Planning, Quality, Procurement, Startup/Commissioning, subcontractors, and craft.
* Demonstrated commitment to safe work execution, quality installation, productivity, and predictable schedule performance.
