About Overwatch Mission Critical
Overwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor services for the mission-critical infrastructure industry.
Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job — it's purpose.

The Senior Superintendent is the ultimate authority for field operations on large-scale projects (typically $100M+). This role moves beyond daily supervision to focus on high-level project strategy, safety culture, financial profitability, and the long-term development of the project team.

Key Senior Responsibilities
  • Large-Scale Oversight: Expertly manages complex projects exceeding $100M, ensuring they are built safely, ethically, and profitably.
  • Strategic Planning: Leads the planning, coordinating, and sequencing of work, including base building concrete, shell, interiors, CSA, and MEP systems.
  • Safety Leadership: Partners with the Safety Committee to establish site-wide policies, amend safety plans, and ensure a strictly injury-free environment.
  • Financial & Budgetary Management: Ensures the project stays within budget while adhering to strict quality standards; oversees material procurement and vendor contracts.
  • Mentorship & Growth: Acts as a mentor to the project team, focusing on individual staff development and recruiting new talent to build a high-performing field team.
  • Commissioning & Closeout: Drives the project through the final technical phases, including commissioning and formal project closeout.

Qualifications & Leadership Profile
  • Mastery of Trades: Expert-level knowledge in all construction aspects (Concrete, Shell, MEP, and Commissioning).
  • Executive Communication: Ability to interact professionally with all levels—from field craft labor and subcontractors to management and clients.
  • Decision-Making: A proactive, self-motivated leader who can make critical decisions under pressure to maintain schedule and budget.
  • Team Development: Proven track record of "building the team" through coaching and selfless leadership.
  • Physical Requirements: Ability to walk large-scale job sites daily and handle the physical demands of a high-activity construction environment.

Qualifications
We are looking for a field expert who can manage the "big picture." While they must be able to perform standard Superintendent duties when necessary, their primary value is in risk mitigation, strategic sequencing, and people leadership on massive, high-stakes projects.

Driver’s License Requirement
For roles that require on-site presence or travel between work locations as an essential function of the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate for the role and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle in accordance with applicable laws.

Communication Skills
Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in a professional work environment, including preparing written reports and documentation, conveying information clearly to team members, clients, and stakeholders, and responding appropriately to verbal and written communications related to job duties.

Physical Requirements and Work Environment
This position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions.

The work environment includes areas and temporary structures owned, leased, or controlled by third parties over which Overwatch may have limited or no control. Because the project remains under construction, certain areas of the site — including access routes, staging zones, and temporary structures — may not yet be fully ADA-compliant until construction is complete or those third-party areas are finalized.

Physical Requirements
  • Must be able to walk, stand, stoop, twist, bend, and climb stairs or ladders for extended periods while navigating uneven, unpaved, or obstructed terrain.
  • Must be able to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds on an occasional basis.
  • Must be able to drive between job sites and access all areas of an active construction zone, including raised platforms, scaffolding, and confined spaces.
  • Must be able to tolerate exposure to outdoor weather conditions, dust, and construction-related noise, vibrations, and odors.
  • Must be able to communicate effectively with contractors, engineers, and site personnel, and maintain situational awareness in high-activity environments.
  • Personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety vests, hearing protection, and steel-toe boots, is required.
  • Must have sufficient visual acuity to read drawings, specifications, and safety signage, and to observe site activity.

Work Environment
Work is performed primarily in and around active construction areas, which may include unfinished buildings, temporary field offices, staging areas, and partially completed infrastructure. These locations may contain uneven surfaces, limited accessibility, and other conditions typical of construction projects prior to final completion. Overwatch does not control and cannot modify accessibility conditions within areas, facilities, or temporary structures owned or managed by third parties.

Reasonable Accommodation
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position, provided such accommodations do not create safety hazards, impede essential mobility within active work zones, or require modification of facilities not owned or controlled by Overwatch.
