Job description

Lead Superintendent – Federal Projects

Seeking a Superintendent who thrives on complex, high-stakes federal work.

We’re searching for a proven leader to take charge of major federal construction projects — someone understands the unique demands of government work and can drive excellence from the field up.

Why You’ll Want This Role

  • Impactful Projects – Be at the helm of federal and defense sector builds that truly matter, with lasting national importance.
  • Leadership Opportunity – You’ll be the key decision-maker on-site, steering subcontractors, schedules, and quality.
  • Company Backing – You’ll work for one of the country’s top general contractors and have a strong team behind you, giving you the resources and authority you need to deliver.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead all on-site construction activities for large-scale federal projects (USACE, NAVFAC, DoD, VA, GSA, or similar).
  • Drive schedule, safety, and quality with an uncompromising, results-oriented approach.
  • Coordinate subcontractors, trades, and vendors to ensure seamless execution.
  • Anticipate and solve problems before they slow the project down.
  • Mentor assistant superintendents and field staff, setting the standard for excellence.
  • Be the face of the project with owners, government representatives, and stakeholders.
  • What We’re Looking For

  • Proven Experience – 10+ years in the field, with several completed federal projects
  • Leadership Presence – A true “command of the site” professional who can earn respect from crews and clients alike.
  • Technical Knowledge – Deep understanding of federal specs, QA / QC, safety, and compliance requirements.
  • Clear Communicator – Able to manage complex details and keep everyone on point.
  • Willing to go where the work is
  • What’s In It for You

  • Aggressive compensation and bonus opportunities.
  • Full benefits package.
  • Stability with a contractor that has deep federal ties and a strong backlog.
  • If you are ready to join an industry leader, take the next step and apply online or send your resume to kenna.warren@gogpac.com .

    All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, age, color, sex (including pregnancy), religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, military status, genetic information, or any other status protected by applicable laws or regulations.
