The construction superintendent availability read — by market.
Superintendents are the field leaders who move trades, hold schedule against commissioning milestones, and carry quality under pressure — and the credentialed ones are all on active programs. Per-diem and completion-bonus retention has turned the tightest markets into closed loops where comp alone cannot move a candidate mid-project. This reads where the available pool sits and what it takes to reach them.
Semiconductor fab construction created a cleanroom-fluent superintendent demand the Valley never had — and the ~95 credentialed supers are all committed.
