About The Position

DP Electric is a 100% employee-owned commercial electrical contractor with more than 30 years of experience delivering projects across Arizona, Texas, and the Southwest. The General Superintendent leads the superintendents, general foremen, and foremen responsible for field construction, owning safety, quality, and execution across multiple projects. The role forecasts and man-loads work from start to finish and makes staffing and cost decisions to keep projects performing concurrently. The scope varies by project portfolio. On large mission-critical projects, such as data centers, semiconductor and advanced manufacturing facilities, and healthcare facilities, the General Superintendent may oversee a full campus or several concurrent projects and set staffing strategy across them. For special projects, the role may lead field operations across a portfolio of fast-turning jobs, partner with project managers, and maintain client relationships that support repeat work. This is a field-based position on active construction sites, indoors and outdoors, with exposure to weather and jobsite conditions. The work involves lifting up to 50 pounds, climbing, crawling, working at heights and in confined spaces, and wearing personal protective equipment. The environment is fast-paced and requires focus and sound judgment under pressure.
