Mechanical General Superintendent
Posted
Description
EdgeHill Integrated Systems was created to bring Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing scopes together under one coordinated trade platform. By integrating these major building systems, EIS is able to improve communication, reduce coordination gaps, identify conflicts earlier, and create a more consistent approach from estimating through project closeout. Our focus is not only to perform individual trade scopes, but to understand how each system impacts the others in the field. Through shared planning, coordinated buyout, aligned scheduling, consistent QA/QC, and strong field leadership, EIS supports a more efficient construction process and helps deliver projects with better control, accountability, and predictability.
POSITION SUMMARY
The Mechanical General Superintendent leads and standardizes mechanical field operations across assigned EdgeHill Integrated Systems projects, with a primary focus on HVAC construction, equipment installation, ductwork, ventilation, mechanical piping, controls coordination, testing, and commissioning. This role oversees and develops Superintendents and field teams; directs subcontractor performance and resource planning; and works with Project Managers and leadership to protect safety, quality, schedule, productivity, and project financial performance. The position provides portfolio-level field leadership, supports successful project startup through closeout, and reinforces consistent EIS procedures across all mechanical projects.
All activities will be performed in support of the values of Elmington Construction.
