A structured process for the hire that runs your toughest field — where the wrong Senior Superintendent loses the sequence, the subs, and the schedule, and everyone on site knows it before the PM does.

Step 01

Talk to our team

30-minute call. Align on project type, field-org structure, trade mix, schedule pressure, and start date.

Step 02

Review hand-selected talent

Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Senior Superintendents with sector-matched large-project completions. References from prior GSs, PXs, and trade partners included.

Step 03

Hire with confidence

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.

FAQ

Hiring a Senior Superintendent: frequently asked questions

How long does it take to hire a Senior Superintendent?

Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks — strong field leaders move fast, so decision speed matters.

What does it cost to hire a Senior Superintendent?

Pricing depends on engagement model. Per-role recruiting is a defined fee. Multi-super field ramps route through embedded recruiting or RPO.

What does a Senior Superintendent earn in 2026?

US base compensation typically runs $150K–$210K plus vehicle and bonus. Traveling hyperscale and semiconductor programs commonly reach $220K–$240K base with per diem and completion bonuses.

How is a Senior Superintendent different from a General Superintendent?

Senior Superintendent commands one large project’s field operation, often over area supers and assistants. General Superintendent oversees field operations across multiple projects. On campus-scale work the line blurs; we scope to your org.

Do you place traveling Senior Superintendents?

Yes. A large share of data center and fab field leadership is traveler-based with per diem and rotation schedules. Travel appetite is confirmed before any introduction.

Do you offer a placement guarantee?

Yes. Every Senior Superintendent placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.
