About The Position

Magma Core Solutions (MCS), a Lava Island company, is hiring a Traveling Construction Superintendent to lead tenant-improvement build-outs for new indoor play parks. The role is field-based at various U.S. project sites and reports to the Director of Construction. Each project typically involves a four-to-six-month on-site assignment in company-provided housing near the project, with regular trips home. The superintendent owns the build from demolition through finish work and final handoff, delivering a clean, complete park ready to open. This is an active, hands-on position involving fast schedules, multiple trades, budgets, inspections, and a fixed opening date. The superintendent leads on-site construction, coordinates subcontractors and specialty installers, manages schedule, quality, field-level spending and changes, and ensures the project meets applicable permitting, code, and safety requirements. The role also coordinates with APS, a sister company that installs playground and trampoline attractions, and uses Procore, iPads, and cloud-based field tools for day-to-day project management. MCS is hiring at experienced and developing levels. Experienced superintendents are expected to lead builds independently and help newer superintendents. Developing superintendents will work alongside a seasoned superintendent with the aim of progressing to independent build leadership within about a year. Company-provided housing while on assignment, a travel allowance, competitive pay, and full benefits are offered.

Requirements

Experienced level: typically eight or more years in on-site construction leadership, with a track record of independently delivering interior or tenant-improvement build-outs end to end.
Developing level: typically three or more years of construction field experience, solid fundamentals, and readiness to progress to independent build leadership within about a year.
Hands-on experience managing subcontractors and multiple trades through the full project lifecycle.
Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, submittals, and lease exhibits.
Working proficiency with Procore or comparable construction-management software, and daily comfort with iPads and cloud-based field tools.
Ability and willingness to live on site near the active build for the full project duration, typically four to six months, with periodic travel home.
OSHA 10 certification at hire; OSHA 30 certification within 12 months of hire.
Equipment certifications such as scissor lift, forklift, or boom lift, or willingness to obtain them.
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
Must pass a background check.
Ability to stand, walk, climb ladders, and move for extended periods on an active construction site, and lift up to 50 lbs.
