This role is based in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area, with some travel required to project sites as needed. You will oversee projects ranging from $1 million to $10 million, ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead daily on-site operations, coordinating and supervising subcontractors, crews, foremen, and field personnel to execute ground-up construction and interior/exterior renovation of commercial/industrial facilities.
  • Develop and manage detailed project schedules, ensuring milestones are met and adjusting plans as needed to maintain timelines for both new builds and renovation scopes.
  • Enforce strict safety protocols, conduct regular site inspections, and maintain compliance with OSHA regulations, Martin ICS policies, client-specific safety requirements, and industry standards in high-hazard industrial settings.
  • Manage resource allocation, including labor, equipment, materials, and tools; coordinate deliveries with vendors and suppliers to avoid delays on ground-up and renovation work.
  • Monitor project progress, quality control, and workmanship; perform regular inspections and resolve issues to deliver projects that meet or exceed client expectations across new construction and renovation activities.
  • Collaborate with project managers, engineers, clients, and stakeholders to review plans, address changes, and resolve field issues specific to ground-up builds and interior/exterior renovations.
  • Work closely with the Project Management (PM) team to track and monitor project spending; help ensure field activities and resource use remain within the established project budget; identify potential cost overruns early and implement field-level corrective actions in coordination with the PM team.
  • Conduct daily/weekly meetings with teams, document progress, and maintain accurate records, reports, submittals, RFIs, and as-built documentation for all project types.
  • Foster a positive, productive site culture while minimizing disruptions in operational industrial environments, particularly during renovation work in live facilities.

Qualifications & Requirements:

  • Minimum 7 years of hands-on experience as a Project Superintendent running ground-up and renovation construction projects valued between $1M and $10M (required; superintendent experience is mandatory—no equivalent roles accepted).
  • Strong knowledge of construction methods, sequencing, safety regulations, and best practices.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills; ability to manage diverse teams and subcontractors effectively.
  • Proficiency with construction management software/tools (e.g., Procore, Microsoft Project, Bluebeam) and Microsoft Office suite.
  • Valid driver’s license.
  • OSHA 30-hour certification (or willingness to obtain); additional safety certifications a plus.

Safety Compliance Expectations:

  • Full adherence to OSHA regulations and standards.
  • Compliance with Martin ICS comprehensive safety program, which includes rigorous training, regular audits, advanced safety technologies, and a proactive approach to risk identification, assessment, and mitigation (safety is a core value at Martin ICS—”Safety First, Excellence Always”).
  • Strict adherence to client-specific safety requirements, including integration with client operations, job hazard analysis, permitting, emergency response protocols, and any additional site-specific rules in active industrial/oil & gas environments.
  • Ability to work in outdoor/field conditions, including industrial sites with potential hazards.

 

Note: Prior experience specifically in industrial (oil & gas, energy, refining) construction is not required; candidates from commercial, institutional, or other ground-up construction sectors are encouraged to apply if they meet the superintendent and project size requirements.
