Construction Superintendent Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a construction superintendent in Massachusetts?
Most construction superintendents in Massachusetts build their path through field experience combined with formal education in construction management or civil engineering. Massachusetts does not require a state-issued superintendent license, but most employers expect an OSHA 30-Hour certification and familiarity with state building codes. A Construction Supervisor License issued by the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards strengthens candidacy and is required for certain direct supervision roles on permitted projects.
How much do construction superintendents make in Massachusetts?
Construction superintendents in Massachusetts earn a median of about $145,010 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $104,100 for the lowest 10% to over $216,920 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire construction superintendents in Massachusetts?

Large firms like Suffolk Construction and Skanska run structured associate and field leadership development programs that place candidates without direct superintendent experience on active job sites under mentorship. Earning an OSHA 30-Hour certification and pursuing a Construction Supervisor License from the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards gives candidates a concrete edge when applying for first-time superintendent roles.
