Remote Traveling Site Superintendent

Full-time

Description

Are you an experienced construction superintendent who takes pride in leading projects, solving problems, and getting the job done right?

Do you enjoy traveling and want to work for a company that provides consistent work, strong project support, and values quality as much as you do?

Merchco Services is looking for an experienced Traveling Site Superintendent to join our growing commercial construction team.

For 29 years, Merchco has built its reputation by delivering quality work and taking care of its clients. Today, we’re a 380-person national organization supporting leading retailers through construction, fixture installation, graphics, and merchandising. Our construction division is growing approximately 15% year over year, creating opportunities for experienced field leaders to grow with us.

WHY MERCHCO?

29 YEARS. 380 EMPLOYEES. A PROVEN TRACK RECORD.

We’re not a startup trying to figure out construction. We’ve been serving the retail industry for nearly three decades.

Merchco is highly specialized in open-store remodels, where construction takes place while the customer’s business remains operational. Success requires planning, communication, professionalism, and the ability to solve problems in real time.

Our unique combination of construction, fixture installation, graphics, and merchandising gives us an understanding of retail that traditional commercial contractors often don’t have.

Most importantly, our field teams are supported. Every Superintendent works directly with a Project Manager who helps coordinate the project and remove obstacles. Our employees consistently tell us that communication and support are among the things they value most about working at Merchco.

We believe quality and reputation come first. We believe in doing what we say we’re going to do. And we believe long-term relationships—with our customers, employees, and partners—are the foundation of our success.
