About The Position

The Pipe Superintendent role is with Black & Veatch’s Overland Contracting construction team. The project is located in Harriman, Tennessee, and requires mobilizing to the site for the project duration. The superintendent oversees piping construction execution, coordinating with direct-hire supervision, subcontractor supervision, and field engineering to meet craft performance, productivity, safety, quality, schedule, and project requirements. The role provides technical direction and information to supervisors and workers, clarifies schedule and technical expectations, and helps ensure compliance with applicable standards, procedures, policies, and contractual commitments. Union or union-management experience and piping experience on conventional power construction projects are strongly preferred. For union projects, the superintendent ensures daily execution complies with applicable company and local union agreements, establishes working relationships with local union representatives, and supports uninterrupted workflow at union interface points. The role may stand in for the Construction Manager when requested, take on safety or quality responsibilities, mentor other discipline superintendents, and be assigned lead discipline superintendent duties. The position supervises direct-hire general foremen and foremen, as well as project subcontractors, superintendents, and field engineers, while providing work direction without management responsibility for all personnel directed. Work takes place in a typical construction-site environment and may also involve a typical office environment. Site conditions can include cramped spaces, awkward positions, temperature extremes, inclement weather, variable lighting, distracting or uncomfortable noise, and hazardous equipment. The role is safety-sensitive and may require physical labor for shifts of up to 12 hours.
