Hire field-fluent Superintendents who run the schedule from the jobsite. Delivered project history across data center, healthcare, life sciences, semiconductor, nuclear, renewable, and commercial construction. Safety-first, subcontractor-disciplined, and calibrated to your delivery model.

Example candidateA structured process for field leadership hires where every day of vacancy accrues subcontractor drift, schedule risk, and safety exposure.
30-minute call with a mission-critical construction recruiting advisor. Align on sector, delivery model, safety credential stack, travel expectations, per-diem, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 field-verified Superintendents with delivered project history in your sector. Reference-checked with prior GCs and owners.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
Superintendents run the schedule from the jobsite. Field credibility, safety leadership, and subcontractor discipline are the three things that separate a Superintendent who holds the ICD from one who watches it slip.
Every Superintendent on the shortlist has documented delivery on mission-critical projects at your sector and scale. Not office-track PMs pushed into field roles — real field leaders with subcontractor authority, phase discipline, and the credibility crews respond to.
OSHA 30 is baseline. Every candidate carries verified incident record, active safety credential stack (CHST, CSP as applicable), and prior GC / owner references that speak to safety culture — not just JHAs on file.
Submittal cadence, RFI turnaround, coordination discipline, and pre-task planning — the mundane field mechanics that prevent the mid-project surprises which eat schedule. Verified with three-cycle references from prior projects.
Every candidate on your shortlist is credential-verified, reference-checked, and matched to your sector. Anonymized examples below reflect real placement profiles.

“Superintendent” means very different things across sectors, project sizes, and delivery models. Below are the field-leadership specializations we recruit for:
We’ll help you scope the role on the call — sector, size, delivery model, per-diem.
Superintendents live and die by field credibility. Below is what every candidate has documented and referenced before you meet them:
Sector experience, crew peak, project value, ICD hit-rates — documented and reference-verified with prior GCs and owners.
OSHA 30 baseline; CHST / CSP for energy and industrial; NFPA 70E for data center; NQA-1 for nuclear. Verified EMR, recordable rate, and lost-time record across prior 3–5 years.
Submittal cadence, RFI turnaround, pre-task planning, and coordination discipline. Reference-verified with prior GCs.
Structured references from prior owners, GCs, and PM peers speak to how the Superintendent performs when the schedule breaks. Not just when things go smoothly.
Comp bands, per-diem structures for traveling assignments, mobilization, retention premiums — aligned before final-stage interviews. No late-stage offer surprises.
Time-to-productivity estimate on your project type. Cultural alignment with your GC or owner style. Placements that stick past project close.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement (shortlist through offer acceptance) is typically 3–4 weeks.
Pricing depends on engagement model. Per-role recruiting is a defined fee. Embedded recruiting is a monthly retainer. RPO is program-scoped monthly retainer. Executive search is used for General Super and multi-project Director-level roles.
Yes. Traveling Superintendents with per-diem structures and mission-critical delivery history are a standard iRecruit.co specialty — particularly for hyperscale data center, LNG, semiconductor fab, and nuclear delivery programs.
OSHA 30 is baseline. Sector-specialty credentials verified as applicable: CHST / CSP for energy, industrial, and mission-critical; NFPA 70E for data center; NQA-1 for nuclear; STS-C for construction safety trainers. Verified EMR and recordable rate across prior projects.
Yes. All seniority levels — Assistant Superintendent (career-track), Superintendent, General Superintendent (multi-project oversight), and Superintendent-track Directors of Field Operations. Executive-level roles route through the executive search practice.
Yes. Multi-hire portfolios (3+ Supers) are scoped as embedded recruiting engagements or RPO. Both models coordinate multi-site field hiring through a single account team.
Yes. Every iRecruit.co Superintendent placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.
Generalist recruiters submit resumes broadly and rely on interviews to filter. iRecruit.co verifies field-delivery history, safety incident record, and subcontractor management discipline before the shortlist. Every Superintendent is matched to your sector, not just “construction.”
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the Superintendent role you need, sector, delivery model, safety expectations, and per-diem — then recommend the right hire path and start sourcing.
