A well-established, family-owned and operated commercial construction company is looking for a Senior Superintendent to lead large-scale ground-up projects across the Memphis area. This company has built an outstanding reputation over many years through strong relationships, repeat business, and a people-first culture — offering the stability of an established builder with the growth and excitement of a company continuing to expand.

This is a fully onsite position dedicated to one project at a time — allowing you to stay focused, lead effectively, and deliver projects successfully without being stretched across multiple jobsites.

• Oversee Assistant Superintendents, Foremen, laborers, and carpenters

• Drive scheduling, sequencing, and overall project execution from groundbreaking through closeout

• Maintain high standards for quality, safety, and production

• Solve field challenges proactively to keep projects moving forward

• Partner closely with Field Operations leadership and project teams

• Oversee projects typically around $20M+ in value

• Stay dedicated to one project at a time with project durations ranging from 12–36 months

• Lead exciting ground-up commercial projects, including upcoming manufacturing and educational/school builds

• Utilize Procore, Primavera P3 Scheduling, Microsoft Project, Bluebeam, and Autodesk tools to manage project execution and communication

What They're Looking For

• 10+ years of experience as a Lead Superintendent

• Proven success leading commercial OR industrial construction projects from the field

• Experience managing projects valued at $10M+

• Strong background in ground-up commercial construction

• Manufacturing and/or school project experience preferred

• Strong leadership presence with the ability to keep teams aligned, accountable, and on schedule

Ideal Background

The ideal candidate has steadily progressed throughout their career — starting on smaller projects early on and growing into successfully leading large-scale commercial builds valued at $20M+. This person is respected in the field, thrives in a leadership role, and knows how to keep complex projects running smoothly while building strong relationships with teams, subcontractors, and ownership alike.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a company where leadership is hands-on, employees are valued, and projects are built the right way.
