Commercial Superintendent

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Superintendent to join our Operations team and provide field leadership on our commercial construction projects.

This position is designed for a proven construction leader who can take ownership of a jobsite from start to finish. The Superintendent will manage day-to-day field operations, direct crews and subcontractors, coordinate workforce and resources, and ensure the project consistently meets expectations for safety, quality, schedule, communication, and execution.

This is a hands-on leadership position for someone comfortable being in the field, solving problems, developing their crew, and working closely with Operations and Project Management to keep the project moving forward.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who has spent enough time in construction to recognize problems before they become emergencies.

You know how to run a project from the ground up. You're comfortable walking onto a challenging jobsite, quickly understanding what is happening, developing a plan, and leading the team to execute it.

You understand that leadership means setting expectations, communicating clearly, holding people accountable, and being willing to help solve problems when the field needs support.

Most importantly, you take pride not only in the projects you build, but in the crew and subcontractors you lead along the way.

If you're an experienced commercial construction Superintendent ready to lead your own jobsite, we'd like to hear from you.

• Develop recovery plans when the project falls behind schedule or encounters operational challenges.
• Coordinate field workforce and resources based on the project schedule, priorities, and production requirements.

• Escalate significant project risks or concerns to Operations leadership early enough for corrective action.

Qualifications

• Experience managing commercial construction projects in a Superintendent or comparable field leadership position.

• Strong organizational and planning skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to train and develop crew members and foremen.
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
• Comfortable holding others accountable while maintaining productive working relationships.
