About The Position

Magma Core Solutions (MCS), a Lava Island company, is hiring Traveling Construction Superintendents to lead tenant-improvement build-outs for new indoor play parks at various U.S. project sites. The role is field-based for the duration of each project, with extended on-site assignments typically lasting four to six months and periodic trips home. Company-provided housing near the project is provided while on assignment. The Superintendent leads the construction of a park from demolition through finish work and final handoff. This is a fast-moving build-out in a leased space, not ground-up construction, involving multiple trades, schedules, budgets, inspections, and a fixed opening date. The role is active and hands-on and serves as the on-site representative of MCS and Lava Island. MCS is hiring at experienced and developing levels. Experienced Superintendents are expected to deliver interior or tenant-improvement projects independently and help newer Superintendents develop. Developing Superintendents work alongside a seasoned Superintendent and are expected to grow toward independently leading a park build within about a year. Compensation is described as competitive, and full benefits, company-provided housing while on assignment, and a travel allowance are offered.

Requirements

Experienced level: typically eight or more years in on-site construction leadership and a track record of independently delivering interior or tenant-improvement build-outs end to end.

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.

Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
