Traveling Construction Superintendent

POSITION TITLE: TRAVELING CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT

LOCATION: Home-based near a major airport, anywhere in the continental U.S. Travel to project sites nationwide.

EMPLOYMENT TYPE: Full-Time Salaried

PAY: $80,000 - $115,000 per year plus per diem, company-booked hotels, and a take-home company vehicle

LEAD FAST-PACED PROJECTS ACROSS MULTIPLE SITES, AND SOLVE PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY SLOW THE JOB DOWN

Osborne is seeking an experienced Traveling Superintendent who is an efficient, hands-on problem solver to lead fast-paced construction projects across the country, primarily within our EV infrastructure division. This is not a traditional ground-up Superintendent role. Our projects are short-duration, high-volume, and often run at the same time across multiple job sites, so you'll manage several crews and subcontractors at once.

Commercial experience is a plus, but not required. We've hired strong Superintendents from production and multi-family residential, civil, utility, and telecom backgrounds. If you can run subcontractors, hold a schedule, and solve problems on your own, we want to hear from you.

Your travel schedule: typically 2-3 weeks on the road, then home between rotations. Home time is planned ahead with your Project Manager, and we book your flights and hotels.

ABOUT US:

Osborne is a Topeka, Kansas-based commercial general contractor proudly celebrating 50 years of building across the country. We specialize in design-build commercial construction, facilities maintenance, and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. With a strong foundation built on integrity, dependability, and quality, we're known for doing what's right every time. Our team is made up of smart, humble professionals who value accountability, consistent execution, and long-term partnerships. Whether in the field or behind the scenes, we take pride in delivering results that stand the test of time. Learn more at:

IS THIS ROLE A FIT FOR YOU?

You may be a great match if you:

• Solve problems on your own and bring your Project Manager solutions, not just problems
• Are a dependable leader with integrity and a proactive mindset
• Thrive in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
• Communicate constantly and clearly with your PM, subcontractors, crews, and clients
• Are highly organized and able to keep multiple projects moving on schedule
• Take ownership of job site performance, safety, and quality
• Adapt quickly as schedules and site conditions change

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

As a Traveling Superintendent, you'll lead multiple job sites, ensuring safety, quality, and schedule goals are met. This role requires a strong field presence, constant communication with your Project Manager, and the ability to manage many moving parts across short-duration, fast-paced projects.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Oversee day-to-day field operations across one or multiple job sites, from mobilization through closeout
• Schedule, direct, and hold subcontractors accountable (Osborne Superintendents supervise the work; they do not self-perform trade work)
• Ensure work is performed according to plans, specifications, and codes
• Coordinate schedules, sequencing, inspections, and daily progress
• Keep your Project Manager updated every day and bring options when issues come up
• Generate POs, Change Orders, and cost estimates in collaboration with PMs
• Lead job site safety: job safety analyses, toolbox talks, inspections, and incident documentation
• Maintain clean, organized, and professional job sites
• Provide a high-quality client experience and communication
• Submit daily reports, photos, and progress updates in Procore

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:

• 3+ years as a Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, or field lead directing subcontractors (commercial, civil, utility, or residential)
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects or fast-paced job sites at the same time
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing and field operations
• Ability to read and interpret plans and specifications
• Comfortable with construction software on a laptop or tablet (Procore, Bluebeam, or similar; we'll train you on ours)
• Willingness to travel 2-3 weeks at a time, with scheduled home time between trips
• Ability to fly as needed (REAL ID-compliant or other TSA-accepted identification)
• Valid driver's license and a driving record that meets our vehicle policy
• OSHA 30, or able to complete it within 90 days (paid by Osborne)
• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs and work outdoors in changing weather, with or without reasonable accommodation
• Authorization to work in the U.S.

PREFERRED, NOT REQUIRED:

• Site work, utilities, concrete, or civil scopes
• EV charging, electrical, telecom, fuel station, or multi-site rollout programs
• Production or multi-family residential experience running multiple units or sites at once

BENEFITS & PERKS:

• Salary: $80,000 - $115,000, based on experience
• Performance-based bonus opportunities
• Paid per diem ($50/day, subject to applicable tax rules) + company-booked hotels (you keep the points)
• Take-home company vehicle
• Company phone
• Medical, dental & vision insurance (company-shared premiums)
• 3 weeks of Paid Time Off (PTO), earned from your first day
• Paid holidays
• 2 weeks of paid parental leave
• 401(k) with 3.5% employer match
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• Annual boot allowance and prescription safety glasses
• Paid OSHA 30 and ongoing training
• A team environment that values accountability, communication, and results
