General Superintendent - Electrical & I&C Construction

Introducing Prime Controls, L.P.

Established in 2004, Prime Controls, L.P. is a family-owned Systems Integration and I&C Construction firm dedicated to meeting clients' industrial automation and control requirements. As a Main Automation Contractor, we offer comprehensive solutions, supported by our size, expertise, and extensive experience. With a professional team of 1000+ employees, Prime Controls serves customers nationwide from our Dallas, Texas headquarters and offices throughout the United States. Our mission is to deliver the highest quality professional services while prioritizing our employees' well-being and fostering an exceptional workplace environment.

You've mastered running a jobsite. Now you're ready to run the whole field operation - multiple crews, multiple scopes, and the site-wide decisions that make or break a project.

Prime Controls is hiring a General Superintendent - the top field leadership role on our projects, sitting one step below Construction Manager. This isn't a standard Superintendent seat. We're looking for someone who blends hands-on field authority with the planning, budgeting, and client-facing skills of a Construction Manager.

Total field authority - direct all on-site construction operations, including subordinate Superintendents, Foremen, and craft crews across electrical and I&C scopes
• Look-ahead planning - build and drive 3-week and 90-day schedules, coordinate manpower loading, and sequence work across trades
• Budget and production tracking - monitor labor hours, productivity, and cost-to-complete alongside project management; flag risks before they become overruns
• Safety leadership - set the tone for a zero-incident culture and ensure compliance across every crew on site
• Client and GC relationships - represent Prime Controls in owner meetings, coordination meetings, and day-to-day site interactions
• Quality and turnover - drive installations to spec and lead a clean, documented handoff to commissioning

• 10+ years of electrical or instrumentation & controls construction experience, with 5+ years in field supervision
• Experience directing multiple crews or multiple Superintendents on industrial projects (water/wastewater, manufacturing, energy, or similar)
• Strong command of scheduling, production tracking, and field budgeting - you think like a Construction Manager, not just a crew lead
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, P&IDs, and specifications
• OSHA 30 (or ability to obtain); NCCER, journeyman, or master electrician credentials a plus
• Willingness to be on-site full time [+ travel expectations if applicable]

We're a family-owned systems integration and I&C construction firm - 1,100+ employees strong and growing across the South-Central U.S. Our field leaders aren't a number in a national org chart; they're known by name, backed by an in-house engineering and integration team, and given real authority to run their sites.

• Stability - decades of steady growth, privately held, no private-equity churn
• Backing - dedicated project management, engineering, and safety support behind every field leader
• Career path - this role is the proving ground for Construction Manager

What We Offer:

Full-time employees enjoy a great benefits package including, but not limited to:

• Health, Dental, and Vision coverage

• Flexible Spending Account(s)

• Generous PTO

• Numerous culture events
• ESOP

• 401k matching and more!
