Phoenix, Arizona
$97,000-$120,000 + Annual Incentive Bonus Eligibility

The best Project Superintendents don't just manage work in the field. They build strong teams, solve problems before they become delays, and create the jobsite culture that determines whether a project succeeds.

At RK Industries, you will lead the day-to-day execution of complex mechanical construction projects across plumbing, piping, and sheet metal scopes. From mobilization through closeout, you'll set the pace for safety, quality, productivity, and schedule performance-while developing the Foremen, craft professionals, and future leaders who make the work happen.

You'll work closely with Project Managers, General Contractors, subcontractors, inspectors, and other trades to keep field operations coordinated and moving forward. Your technical judgment, ability to plan ahead, and hands-on leadership will ensure mechanical systems are installed safely, correctly, and in alignment with the project's design intent, code requirements, and customer expectations.

And you won't build alone. RK's in-house fabrication, manufacturing, construction, and building services capabilities give our field leaders resources that many contractors simply don't have.

This is an opportunity to lead meaningful, complex work-and leave a legacy through the people and projects you develop.
