JOB DESCRIPTION:

Blue World is looking for a Construction Superintendent with a diverse construction background to join our growing office in Houston, TX.  This individual will be able to not only follow and implement a project schedule and run a crew, but take part in hands-on work, including operating machinery and being competent with site layout, carpentry, and welding. Having experience in mechanical and structural trades with the ability to read and follow mechanical and structural plans and complete those tasks is also desired. We are looking for someone who not only has the experience to handle these tasks, but more importantly who has the desire to teach and instruct others to do the same so that he or she is free to run the job, rather than always completing the hands-on tasks themselves.

This includes scheduling and directing the crew each morning, filling out necessary paperwork, and finishing the day up making sure the job is organized, the crew informed, and communicating with the client to ensure their utmost satisfaction. At the same time, our jobs allow you to take an active role in site construction at times during the day, such as operating machinery or getting involved with your hands. Most importantly, the best candidates will demonstrate an excellent work ethic, a willingness to learn new skills, a team mentality, and must be safety-oriented in all situations and environments. In turn, there are many opportunities for growth, promotion, and compensation.
