Construction Superintendent

Clark Construction Company, Flint, MI, United States


Lead the Daily Build in Michigan Schools
Why This Role Exists + What You'll Lead
Clark's Lansing office is seeking a Superintendent to lead daily field execution on K-12 construction projects across Southeast Michigan.

School construction is different. Buildings are occupied. Students are present. Summer schedules are compressed. Opening day deadlines are fixed. This role exists to ensure we deliver safe, high-quality spaces while coordinating dozens of moving parts inside active school environments.

You’ll own what happens in the field every day – leading trade contractors, enforcing safety standards, and maintaining schedule discipline – while partnering with your Project Manager on overall project strategy.

Based in Flint, serving districts across Southeast Michigan – ideal candidates may live near Flint, Grand Blanc, Howell, Lapeer, Owosso, Lake Orion, and other surrounding areas.

What You'll Do

Plan and lead 2-4 week look‑ahead execution

Coordinate daily trade sequencing and site logistics

Enforce safety, cleanliness, and occupied‑building protocols

Verify schedule alignment with your Project Manager

Lead weekly trade coordination meetings

Maintain detailed daily reports and documentation

Drive quality closeout with minimal punch list

Represent Clark professionally with district staff and administrators

What Success Looks Like
In year one, you’re confidently leading execution in occupied schools, coordinating trades around academic schedules, and delivering on opening‑day commitments.

Over time, you’re trusted with larger or more complex projects and mentoring Assistant Superintendents learning K‑12 work.

What You'll Bring

5+ years as a Superintendent in commercial construction

K‑12 or occupied‑building experience preferred

Strong short‑term planning and trade coordination skills

Clear, firm leadership presence on site

Deep commitment to safety and quality

Proficiency with Phoenix, ProjectSight, Bluebeam

Reliable transportation and mobility on active sites

What Makes Clark Different
You’ll have real field authority with experienced PMs and executives behind you. Our self‑perform division gives you additional control when it matters most.

And you’ll lead work that communities see and rely on every day.

Benefits + Culture
Clark offers profit sharing, generous PTO, 401(k) matching, and comprehensive health coverage. We invest in your professional growth and are a Certified Veteran Friendly Employer.

We are an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. Different perspectives make us stronger.
