About The Position

The Assistant Superintendent oversees self-performed and contracted work, ensuring compliance with contract documents and the project schedule while promoting a culture of safety and quality.

Flexibility to work extended hours during critical project phases or client deadlines is required.

A pre-employment drug fitness-for-duty screening is required, and the company conducts random quarterly fitness-for-duty drug tests.
