Project Superintendent – Heavy Civil & Mission Critical Projects
Company: Gregory Construction
Gregory Construction, a faith-driven and nationally recognized leader in heavy civil construction, is seeking a seasoned Project Superintendent to take full ownership of field operations on complex, high-impact projects. This role is built for a hands-on leader who thrives in the field, takes pride in delivering work the right way, and is fully committed to going where the work is.
Travel is a core requirement of this role. Projects are located across the Southwest, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic regions. Assignments are based on business needs—not geographic preference—so flexibility and a willingness to travel extensively (and for extended durations) are essential to success. This is not a home-based position.
What You’ll Do
- Take complete responsibility for day-to-day field operations, leading crews and subcontractors to deliver safe, efficient, and high-quality work.
- Drive project execution by owning the schedule, sequencing, and manpower planning in coordination with Project Management.
- Champion a culture of safety by actively enforcing site-specific plans and holding teams accountable to Gregory’s standards.
- Maintain a constant presence in the field—monitoring productivity, resolving issues in real time, and ensuring work is installed correctly the first time.
- Oversee jobsite logistics, equipment coordination, and material flow to keep projects moving without disruption.
- Manage and review critical field documentation including daily reports, production tracking, change orders, and T&M work.
- Serve as the primary on-site leader and point of contact for clients, inspectors, and engineers.
- Build, mentor, and develop field teams while reinforcing Gregory’s core values: Safety, Integrity, Excellence, Communication, and Determination.
What You Bring
- 7+ years of proven experience leading field operations in heavy civil construction; mission critical project experience is a strong plus.
- A leadership style grounded in accountability, urgency, and field presence—not from behind a desk.
- Strong technical understanding of sitework, underground utilities, grading, paving, and equipment utilization.
- Ability to read plans, anticipate challenges, and proactively solve problems to keep work on track.
- Experience with construction technology (Procore, Bluebeam, PlanGrid, or similar tools).
- OSHA 30 certification required; CPR/First Aid preferred.
- High school diploma required; construction-related degree preferred.
What Sets You Apart
- You’re willing to go where the work is—without hesitation—and stay as long as the project requires.
- You take ownership of your jobsite and treat every project like it’s your own.
- You lead from the front, earning respect through action, consistency, and decision-making in the field.
Why Gregory Construction
- Competitive compensation package including health, dental, PTO, and 401(k) with company match.
- Opportunity to lead challenging, high-profile projects across multiple regions.
- A values-driven culture that invests in its people and promotes long-term career growth.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Project Superintendent
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation
USCIS requires your bachelor's degree to directly relate to the Project Superintendent role. A degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture typically qualifies. A general business degree may trigger an RFE, so gather transcripts and a credential evaluation before applying.
Check LCA filings for construction employers
Search the OFLC Wage Search to find general contractors and construction management firms that have filed Labor Condition Applications for superintendent or project management roles. Companies with recent LCA history are actively set up to sponsor H-1B workers in your field.
Use Migrate Mate to filter verified sponsors
Filter employers by H-1B filing history specific to construction and project management roles on Migrate Mate. This surfaces companies that have sponsored roles matching yours, so you're targeting employers already familiar with the H-1B process for field operations positions.
Confirm your role qualifies under O*NET
Pull the O*NET occupation profile for Construction Managers to verify the job zone and typical education requirements. If your offer letter describes duties that match a non-degree-required trade role, work with your employer to align the job description with specialty occupation language before filing.
Request cap-exempt or concurrent filing options
If you're already on H-1B with another employer, a new construction firm can file a concurrent or transfer petition outside the lottery. Ask prospective employers directly whether they'll file a transfer petition, since this avoids registration entirely and lets you start sooner.
Negotiate premium processing before accepting an offer
USCIS premium processing reduces adjudication to 15 business days. For Project Superintendent roles tied to project start dates or contract milestones, the timing matters. Confirm in writing whether your employer will cover premium processing before you sign an offer letter.
H-1B Visa Project Superintendent: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Project Superintendent role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It depends on how the role is defined in the job description and Labor Condition Application. USCIS looks for a direct relationship between the position and a specific bachelor's degree field. Roles that require a degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture typically qualify. Positions described primarily in terms of trade skills or hands-on site work, without a degree requirement, may not.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Project Superintendent jobs?
Large general contractors, construction management firms, and real estate developers with in-house project delivery teams are the most common H-1B sponsors for this role. You can verify which employers have active LCA filing history for construction management positions by searching on Migrate Mate, which filters companies by visa sponsorship activity in your field.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new construction employer mid-project?
Yes. Under H-1B portability rules, you can start working for a new employer as soon as they file a transfer petition, without waiting for approval, as long as you've been in valid H-1B status. This is especially relevant in construction, where project-based employment is common and you may receive an offer before your current project wraps up.
How does the prevailing wage requirement apply to Project Superintendent roles?
Your employer must pay you at least the prevailing wage for the Project Superintendent occupation in the specific metro area where the project is located, not just where the company is headquartered. Since construction projects move across jurisdictions, the LCA wage level must reflect the worksite location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up prevailing wages by location and job title before evaluating an offer.
What happens to my H-1B status if a construction project ends before my petition expires?
If your employer terminates your employment, you have a 60-day grace period to find a new sponsor, change status, or leave the country. In project-based construction work, this situation comes up when contracts end or projects are delayed. Having a new employer file a transfer petition before your current project closes is the safest way to maintain continuous status.
