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.

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.
