Description

Construction Superintendent

We're looking for a Construction Superintendent who brings order, accountability, and pride to every site they run - someone who earns trust fast and treats every subcontractor, owner, and crew like a long-term partner, because at MCL, they are.

The title is Superintendent. The real job is leadership from the ground up - the kind that keeps a crew moving and a client confident.

Your Day-to-Day

Run the Project
  • Lead all on-site operations for commercial projects typically ranging $5M-$30M+ safe, clean, on schedule, and within budget.
  • Own the master schedule and manpower planning; always maintain a clear six-week look-ahead.
  • Direct resource allocation, equipment use, and field cost control.
  • Get ahead of schedule, budget, and scope issues before they become problems.
  • Manage field documentation: RFIs, submittals, change orders, QC records, and closeout.

Lead People and Partners
  • Serve as the primary on-site point of contact for owners, architects, engineers, and subs.
  • Lead preconstruction meetings and weekly coordination with a focus on safety, schedule, and quality.
  • Hold subcontractors accountable to performance and quality standards - professionally and consistently.
  • Resolve field conflicts quickly so work keeps moving.

Hold the Line on Safety and Quality
  • Maintain a visible, no-compromise safety presence on-site every single day.
  • Run toolbox talks, safety meetings, and inspections; document and address hazards immediately.
  • Enforce MCL's quality standards so the finished product is something the whole crew is proud of.

The Right Fit

You're a strong fit if you:
  • 7+ years of progressive construction experience, with 3+ years running jobs as a superintendent.
  • Proven track record delivering commercial projects in the $5M-$30M+ range.
  • Know your way around scheduling systems (Procore, P6, or similar) and actually use look-ahead planning.
  • Fluent in contract documents, submittals, RFIs, and change order management.
  • OSHA 30 certification required; First Aid/CPR a plus.
  • Communicate directly and clearly - with owners, subs, and your own team.
  • Run a clean, organized, professional job site without being told to.
  • Able to travel or take extended project assignments when the work calls for it.


Our Values

We hire for character as much as credentials. These four traits define the people who succeed at MCL:

Passionate - you care deeply about the work, the craft, and the people around you. This is more than a job to you.

Dedicated - you show up fully every day. When things get hard-and they will-you stay engaged.

Thorough - details matter. You don't hand something off or close it out until it's done right.

Respectful - you treat the owner, the sub, the laborer, and everyone in between with respect. It's not situational here-it's the standard.

What You're Walking Into

MCL Construction has been building Omaha and the surrounding region since 1987. We build with integrity, show up with purpose, and leave every project - and every relationship - better than we found it. Our reputation is built on people who show up, lead from the front, and take real pride in what gets built.

You'll work with experienced teammates on projects that shape communities, in a culture that values your judgment and the impact of your work. If you want meaningful work with people who hold a high standard and have each other's backs, MCL is the place.

Competitive Compensation Package with benefits including: Medical, Dental & Vision • 401(k) with company match • Generous PTO • Travel opportunities • And more

You don't just run job sites. You set the standard for everyone on them.

If that speaks to you, let's talk.
