Senior Electrical Superintendent Department: Electrical Construction Location: Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, or Austin, TX (Relocation Required) Remote/In-Office Policy: On-site Role Type: Full-Time

About Our Client Our client is a well-established commercial electrical construction firm with a strong presence across Texas, operating out of Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin. Specializing in large-scale commercial and mission-critical electrical construction, they have built a reputation for delivering complex, high-value projects with exceptional field leadership and operational discipline. Their clients span a broad range of industries, including data centers, healthcare, education, and government. The company's culture is rooted in safety, accountability, and a commitment to quality — making them a preferred partner for major general contractors on some of the most demanding builds in the region.

Job Description Our client is seeking a Senior Electrical Superintendent with a proven track record leading large-scale commercial electrical construction projects valued at $20M or more. In this role, you will own all field operations — directing superintendents, foremen, and field crews across complex, multi-phase project sites while ensuring every project is delivered on schedule, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

Day-to-day, you will work in close coordination with Project Managers, General Contractors, and clients to drive execution and resolve field-level challenges before they become delays. You will lead manpower planning, workforce allocation, and production tracking, while enforcing rigorous safety and installation standards across your sites.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on field leader who thrives in high-stakes construction environments, has deep experience in data center or mission-critical builds, and brings the discipline and communication skills to manage large crews and deliver results. This is a relocation opportunity — candidates must be willing to relocate to one of our client's Texas markets.

• Conduct progress meetings, site walks, and reporting for internal and external stakeholders.

• Strong background in complex, multi-phase large-scale commercial electrical builds.
• Data center or mission-critical construction experience strongly preferred.
• Deep knowledge of NEC codes, electrical systems, and field scheduling.
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Nice-to-Haves

• Data center or hyperscale construction experience.
• Proficiency in Procore, Bluebeam, MS Project, or similar construction management platforms.
• Experience working alongside major national general contractors.
• Familiarity with mission-critical facility standards and owner-driven quality requirements.

Education
