  • Serve as the link between field operations and the project management team
  • Read and interpret drawings, specifications, and RFIs to ensure accurate field execution
  • Track submittals and material deliveries to protect the schedule
  • Support owner walkthroughs, inspections, and punch list completion
  • Communicate scope gaps, potential change orders, and site conditions to the Project Manager promptly
  • Build positive working relationships with the owner, design team, subcontractors, and inspectors
  • What We Are Looking For3 or more years of experience in commercial construction as an Assistant Superintendent, Field Engineer, Foreman, or Superintendent
  • Experience on K-12, public, or institutional projects is a plus
  • Working knowledge of construction means and methods, building codes, and OSHA regulations
  • Ability to read and interpret construction documents, plans, and specifications
  • Comfort with Procore, Microsoft Project, or similar tools (or a willingness to learn quickly)
  • Strong communication skills, a problem solving mindset, and a sense of ownership
  • Willingness to work evenings, overnight, and weekends as the project requiresOSHA 30 certification required (or ability to obtain before project start)
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
  • Ability to pass a background check, as required for work on Dallas ISD campuses
Who Thrives HereYou are hungry to grow, accountable for your work, and proud of a clean, safe, well run jobsite. You take initiative, ask good questions, and want to build a long term career with a company on the rise.
Work Location: In person, Dallas, TX

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
