Site Superintendent

1. FEDERAL FIELD EXPERIENCE — NON-NEGOTIABLE Minimum 10 years as a Site Superintendent on federal government construction contracts — commercial experience does not count toward this threshold. Must have delivered projects under NAVFAC, USACE, GSA, USAF, or NIH contract vehicles — MACC/IDIQ, SATOC, MATOC, or standalone task orders. Must have managed at least two of three delivery methods: Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and IDIQ Task Order. Must have experience on occupied federal facilities — managing active operations, phasing, and access control while construction is ongoing. Experience on DoD installations in the DC Metro region is strongly preferred: Indian Head, Dahlgren, NRL, JBAB, Bethesda, Fort Belvoir, Aberdeen, Patuxent River, Norfolk Naval Station. Minimum portfolio must include at least three of the following federal project types: Interior renovation of occupied federal building (office, lab, or medical) MEP upgrade or full system replacement on a federal facility Fire Alarm / Mass Notification System installation or upgrade Perimeter security / Force Protection (anti-ram barriers, guard booths, fencing) Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) — erection and full enclosure Design-Build project with a Designer of Record and government design review Ground-up new construction on a military or federal installation 2. CERTIFICATIONS — MUST BE ACTIVE ON DAY ONE The following are hard requirements — not preferred qualifications: OSHA 30-Hour Construction — active, not expired First Aid / CPR — current certification Valid driver's license — required for all CJW operating states Preferred — differentiating qualifications: Active CAC or DBIDS base access credential — can get on-site Day 1 Procore Certification — platform used on all CJW projects ASHE Healthcare Constructor — relevant for NIH and VA hospital work Note: CQM-C is NOT required for this role — that is the QC Manager's credential 3. SITE MANAGEMENT & EXECUTION COMPETENCY Must establish and maintain full site logistics from mobilization through demobilization without PM direction — staging, laydown, temporary facilities, access control, haul routes. Must manage and direct multiple subcontractors simultaneously — knows how to sequence trades, resolve conflicts on site, and maintain production momentum. Must manage badging, escort, and installation access for all personnel and subcontractors on secure military bases — including coordinating DBIDS and base access submissions. Must be able to read and apply construction drawings at expert level — architectural, structural, civil, MEP, fire protection — and cross-reference against specs without assistance. Must identify field conflicts, drawing discrepancies, or scope ambiguities and immediately communicate RFI needs to the PM with clear documentation. Must maintain a marked-up, current set of drawings on site at all times and contribute to as-built preparation throughout the project. Must conduct and document pre-task meetings before each new trade activity — not just attend, but run them. 4. SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT Must produce and own a 3-week lookahead schedule every week without PM prompting — distributes to subs, updates actuals, identifies float risks. Proficient in Primavera P6 or MS Project at the task level — can update actuals, identify critical path erosion, and revise after a government-directed change. Must understand CPM logic well enough to have an independent recovery conversation with a COR without the PM present. Must have documented a government-caused delay with contemporaneous field records sufficient to support a future REA — and understand why that documentation matters contractually. Must pre-order long-lead materials and pre-position crews well in advance — anticipates, does not react. 5. SUBCONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT & COMMUNICATION Must be comfortable reviewing subcontract scopes of work and identifying gaps before work begins — not just directing subs verbally after the fact. Must produce written subcontractor direction — emails, field directives, notices of non-compliance — when verbal coordination is insufficient or a paper trail is required. Must run a weekly subcontractor coordination meeting and produce written minutes that serve as contract record. Must maintain daily field logs with full narrative — manpower, work in place, deliveries, visitors, open issues, weather, and any government interactions. Must be comfortable communicating directly with the COR/QAR on day-to-day matters while knowing when to loop in the PM before responding in writing. 6. SAFETY LEADERSHIP Must have no recordable incidents as superintendent on their most recent two projects — or must explain any incident with documented corrective action demonstrating accountability. Must conduct independent safety inspections — can identify EM 385-1-1 violations on the spot without a checklist. Must be prepared to issue a Stop Work Order to a subcontractor immediately upon identification of an imminent danger — and have done so at least once in their career. Must run Toolbox Talks without a script — speaks to the crew about the specific hazard relevant to that day's work. Must understand how federal safety standards exceed OSHA minimums on DoD installations and be able to brief subs accordingly at site orientation. Must conduct and document pre-task safety briefings before each new DFOW without prompting from the QC Manager or SSHO. 7. SECURITY & BASE ACCESS Must be able to obtain base access credentials for all CJW operating installations — no disqualifying background check history. Must have prior experience navigating SECNAV 5512/1 NAC processing for subcontractor workforces — tracking submissions, managing escort while clearances are pending. Must understand OPSEC awareness requirements and be able to brief first-time base visitors. Active CAC or DBIDS credential is a significant differentiator — means installation-ready from Day 1. 8. BEHAVIORAL & CULTURE FIT INDICATORS These will not appear on a resume — surface them in the interview: Owns the job site — does not wait for the PM to tell them what to do next. Calls the PM when something is wrong, not when they need direction. Comfortable with daily government oversight — a NAVFAC QAR walking the site every morning is a normal part of the day, not a source of friction. Documentation-first mentality — writes things down instinctively. Sees the daily log as professional practice and legal protection, not paperwork burden. Anticipates and pre-positions — looks 3 weeks ahead, identifies conflicts before they become delays, flags issues before they become RFIs. Builds relationships with subs — firm on scope and quality, but earns the kind of loyalty that gets a call when a sub has a problem instead of a surprise. Geo-flexible — willing to work per diem across MD, VA, DC, PA, FL, IN, and WA as project assignments require. 9. AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFIERS Federal experience limited to a single project or single agency Never worked on a DoD or military base with access control requirements No experience managing multiple subcontractors simultaneously on a federal project OSHA recordable incident within the last 3 years with no documented corrective action Background check disqualifiers that would prevent federal base access No experience with CPM scheduling tools (P6 or MS Project) #J-18808-Ljbffr
