This role sits on the Division Management Team and reports to the Division Operations Manager. You'll join a team that already includes experienced casing-focused General Superintendents — the expectation is that you bring your own expertise, push the standard higher, and grow alongside peers who take this work as seriously as you do.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">We're looking for a leader who understands that deep foundation, small diameter drilling is not about spinning steel. It's about installing structural systems correctly the first time, in unstable slopes, emergency geohazard conditions, and structurally sensitive environments where installation accuracy, casing integrity, and ground control determine project success. If you've operated at that standard and now want to build the teams that do, this is where you scale your impact.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">&nbsp;</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>What You'll Do</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">As General Superintendent, you provide senior field leadership across multiple crews and Superintendents executing geohazard mitigation, slope stabilization, and deep foundation drilling projects across the U.S. You are the senior technical and operational decision-maker in the field — managing safety, production, quality, people, and client relationships simultaneously across your assigned Squad-Teams.</p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Live by and actively reinforce Company Core Values; ensure every crew member understands and operates within GSI's safety program and culture — protecting the people around you is priority one</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Lead, coach, and formally evaluate Superintendents on a minimum bi-annual basis; administer performance coaching and bonuses within specified ranges</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Provide direct support to Superintendents to ensure their success on active projects — concentric casing systems, duplex head drilling, dual rotary systems, percussion systems, tie-back and micropile casing, and grouting operations</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Develop and maintain training plans for all personnel in your business unit, from Driller Helpers through Senior Drillers; communicate weekly training priorities aligned to active project demands</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Attend Division Management meetings; keep leadership informed of major project developments, safety events, client issues, and crew performance — good and bad</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Coordinate crew logistics and scheduling in collaboration with the scheduling team, balancing operational requirements with leave, travel rotation, and project access windows</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Coordinate work and communications between Squad-Teams, departments, and Divisions; manage the interface between GSI crews, engineers, clients, and subcontractors</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Ensure each crew is installing products in accordance with job drawings, project worksheets, engineered specifications, and Standard Operating Procedures — verticality, alignment, embedment tolerances, grout control, and structural load transfer principles are non-negotiable</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Maintain and strengthen relationships with owners, general contractors, engineers, and vendors</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Drive crew performance, rapidly address deficiencies, and lead by example in the field</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>What Separates Good from Elite at the GS Level</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Competent General Superintendents manage crews and hit schedules.
