Fuels Superintendent

Location: Remote / Nationwide (up to 80 percent travel to U.S. airport project sites)

Our client is a nationally recognized heavy-civil contractor whose aviation fueling backlog is exploding thanks to award-winning safety performance, innovative self-perform capabilities, and long-term partnerships with commercial and military airports coast to coast. As the Fuels Superintendent, you will own field execution for complex jet-fuel infrastructure—turning strategic goals into safe, high-quality results that keep America’s air traffic moving. If you thrive on leading crews in live airfields and want the freedom of a remote role with nationwide impact, this opportunity is built for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Direct all on-site activities for aviation fuel-handling projects—storage terminals, underground and above-ground pipelines, hydrant networks, pumping and filtration skids, and automated control systems.
• Coordinate daily work inside active airfields, ensuring strict compliance with airport security, safety, and operational procedures.
• Plan site logistics, craft labor, subcontractors, equipment, and materials to meet or beat safety, schedule, quality, and cost targets.
• Champion a behavior-based safety culture and verify adherence to FAA, NFPA, API, and state and local regulations.
• Develop and maintain three-week look-ahead schedules and update the master project plan in concert with Project Management and airport stakeholders.
• Track production quantities and earned-value metrics, recommending corrective actions to keep projects on course.
• Interpret IFC drawings and specifications, generate RFIs, and craft field-driven solutions to unforeseen conditions.
• Produce concise daily progress, safety, and quality reports and present status updates to leadership and client teams.
• Build trusted relationships with airport authorities, owners, inspectors, vendors, and internal partners.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years leading construction of jet-fuel or petroleum distribution facilities in active airports or Department of Defense environments.
• Demonstrated experience with fuel storage tanks, hydrant or pit systems, fuel piping, pump/filtration assemblies, and mechanical or electrical controls.
• Working knowledge of FAA, NFPA 407, API standards, and related fire-code requirements.
• Proficiency with construction scheduling tools and Microsoft Office.
• Ability to travel up to 80 percent nationwide and qualify for airport security badging.
• OSHA 30 (or equivalent) required; bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline preferred.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary plus performance bonus.
• Day-one health, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Company truck or monthly vehicle allowance and paid travel expenses.
• Generous PTO and 10+ company holidays.
• 401(k) with company match.
