    COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENTS — GENERAL CONTRACTING, MECHANICAL, AND ELECTRICAL

    Location: Columbia, SC | Full-Time | Local Projects — Little to No Travel

    ABOUT THESE OPPORTUNITIES

    Edisto Consulting Group is conducting confidential searches on behalf of multiple well-established commercial contractors in the Columbia, SC area. We are hiring experienced Commercial Construction Superintendents across three separate disciplines:

    • General Contracting Superintendent
    • Mechanical Superintendent (HVAC / Plumbing / Piping)
    • Electrical Superintendent

    These are three distinct roles for three different employers — we are not seeking one person to cover all trades. Each position leads the field on its respective scope of work. Tell us your discipline when you apply, and we will match you to the right opportunity.
