About this role

Kelso Industries, through its Mullins Mechanical division, is seeking an experienced construction superintendent to oversee fire protection projects from the field. Based in Atlanta but traveling to assigned project locations, you'll manage medium to complex jobs or multiple smaller projects simultaneously, directing crews, coordinating with project managers and subcontractors, and ensuring daily operations run smoothly. The role demands hands-on leadership—from conducting safety toolbox talks and enforcing site protocols to managing schedules, materials, and quality control.

This position suits someone with a proven track record superintending construction trades, particularly in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or refrigeration work. You'll need strong organizational skills, proficiency in MS Office and MS Project, OSHA 30 certification, and the ability to communicate clearly across teams. The work is detail-intensive: you'll prepare reports, track progress, manage logistics, conduct employee reviews, and collaborate closely with estimating and project management teams.

Kelso Industries offers competitive compensation and a full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, paid time off, and 401(k). This is a contract position requiring travel to job sites, suited for someone committed to safety, quality, and leading construction teams in a fast-paced environment.
