Viking Engineering + Construction • Full-time • Seattle, WA, US • $146k - $167k / year • 3m ago

We’re looking for several great Superintendents to join our team and support our Field Operations team!

We offer generous and competitive pay and fringe benefits including major medical and retirement plans, as well as supplementary cafeteria-plans for vision and dental. Non-union superintendents may be salaried and perform only supervisory roles. Union carpenters who qualify for superintendent positions may self-perform a relatively small portion of our overall project scopes, while managing and directing subcontractors and journeyman carpenters.
Most of our Superintendents are represented by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC). Superintendents are not required to join UBC if not already enrolled, but are not allowed to directly perform construction work if not a member. We have a mix of both union and non-union superintendents and have positions available for both.
