At McGrath, our Superintendents lead from the field. You’ll be responsible for driving production, managing crews, and delivering high-quality work across civil and concrete projects.

* Handling field reporting, documentation, and coordination with PMs * Supporting minor estimating and change order work * Building strong relationships with clients and trade partners
