Superintendent-In-Training

Description

Kalos Services is looking to hire a Superintendent-In-Training (SIT) to develop into a field leader through hands-on training, coaching, and progressively greater responsibility. This is a field-first development opportunity for someone who wants to build a long-term career in construction leadership.

Working alongside an experienced Superintendent Coach, the SIT will develop skills in jobsite planning, crew and subcontractor coordination, safety, quality control, scheduling, documentation, customer communication, and project closeout.

As proficiency is demonstrated, the SIT will take on increasing responsibility and may lead defined project phases or lower-risk projects within their assigned authority. Complex or safety-critical work will remain under experienced field leadership, with issues outside the assigned scope escalated appropriately.

Compensation: $25.00/hr - $35.00/hr (based on experience)

- Observe installed work and promptly report safety concerns, quality deficiencies, conflicts, delays, material shortages, incomplete work, or changed field conditions.
- Coordinate routine information with crews, subcontractors, vendors, Project Managers, inspectors, and internal teams within the authority delegated by the Superintendent Coach.
- Lead approved lower-risk work, single-trade assignments, day CapEx projects, EV installations, or defined project phases after the required readiness review and with established support and escalation paths.
- Confirm assigned work areas are safe, organized, documented, and prepared for inspections, turnover, or reopening, as applicable.
- Practice effective day-to-night, night-to-day, and temporary-coverage handoffs using established company expectations and documentation.
- Seek clarification when requirements or authority are unclear and promptly escalate decisions involving safety, significant cost, scope, schedule, customer commitments, or personnel actions.
