Lemartec Seeks Traveling General Superintendent for Data Center Projects Across Seven States

Lemartec, the vertical construction arm of MasTec, is recruiting a General Superintendent to oversee data center construction across North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Iowa, and Wyoming, according to a job posting on computerjobs.com. The position requires up to 100% travel, with assignments lasting six to eight months at a time, and demands five years of direct data center project experience. The role, associated with Bridgeport, Connecticut, offers a daily per diem and vehicle allowance for eligible candidates.

The opening arrives as MasTec’s Clean Energy and Infrastructure segment continues to generate over $4 billion in annual revenue, underscoring the financial scale behind the data center buildout. MasTec, a minority-owned Fortune 500 company that has shaped the construction industry for more than 90 years, employs over 35,000 people across 400 offices nationwide. Lemartec, established in 1979 and operating within MasTec’s General Building group under Manny García-Tuñón, brings together more than 22,000 professionals in engineering, procurement, and construction to deliver complex industrial, aviation, and power projects across North America and the Caribbean.

Six to Eight Months on the Road

The superintendent will hold full site authority, supervising trade and field personnel while coordinating subcontractors, negotiating change orders, and enforcing OSHA safety standards. The posting specifies that the role requires performing duties of a Level III Superintendent alongside Level I and II responsibilities, including mentoring junior superintendents, interviewing and training direct reports, and maintaining systematic records of inspections and documentation. The candidate must keep the jobsite organized, ensure materials are ordered and inspections scheduled, and use schedules to measure time and production against project requirements.

OSHA certification and proficiency in Microsoft Office, scheduling programs, and document control systems are mandatory. The posting notes that travel to different jobsites may be required on limited notice.

To offset the disruption, the company offers designated daily per diem, relocation assistance, a vehicle allowance if eligible, and a travel-home rotation of one weekend per month.
