Module Piping Superintendent
Job Description
Module Piping Superintendent – LNG, Offshore & Industrial Modules | Tarpon Specialty Services | Ingleside, TX
Lead piping execution on large-scale modular projects at our Texas Gulf Coast fabrication yard. If you can run crews, hit schedules, and ship complete modules — we want to talk.
Position Overview
Tarpon Specialty Services is hiring a Module Piping Superintendent to drive piping execution across large-scale modular fabrication projects supporting LNG, offshore, and industrial clients. This is a high-accountability, high-output role responsible for leading General Foremen, Foremen, and a craft workforce of 50 to 200+ personnel across simultaneous active modules.
You will own the full piping scope — from work pack planning and fit-up through hydrotesting and system turnover — and be directly responsible for getting modules out the door safely, on schedule, and complete. This is not a desk role. You will be on the floor, running production, and holding your crews to a high standard every day. Job location is Ingleside, TX near Corpus Christi.
