PEAK CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION

Job Description

Job Description

About PEAK…
At PEAK Construction Corporation, we do more than build facilities — we build value, trust, long-term partnerships, and a culture where people come first. Headquartered in Rosemont, IL, with regional offices in East Windsor, NJ and Charleston–St. George, SC, we’re a national design-build leader trusted across the industry and country. We take pride in delivering excellence often beginning with land development and site analysis across Industrial, Freezer/Cooler, Hospitality, Healthcare, Commercial, and Specialty markets — but what truly sets us apart is our people.

Our mantra is simple: Do The Right Thing . That commitment extends to how we treat clients, partners, and especially our team.

We’re looking for a forward-thinking Project Superintendent I to carry out that mission even further.

About Your Role with PEAK…
As a Project Superintendent I, you will play a critical role in ensuring the safety, quality, and efficiency of assigned projects. You will take the lead in establishing and enforcing safety programs, driving accident-free worksites while reviewing project drawings to identify and address coordination issues within contract documents. Overseeing the collaboration between subcontractors and the PEAK team, you will foster a well-organized and productive work environment. Additionally, you will take ownership of the field portion of the project budget, carefully managing costs and making strategic financial decisions. With a strong focus on scheduling, you will develop and utilize detailed scheduling skills to track progress on a weekly—if not daily—basis. Expanding your technical proficiency, you will enhance your computer skills and understanding of PEAK software to optimize workflow and project execution. Through your leadership, commitment to safety, and focus on operational excellence, you will drive the success of PEAK’s project team and ensure high-performance project outcomes.

Where you will make a difference…

Strategic Leadership & Program Development You will champion the continuous evolution of Peak’s corporate safety, quality, and scheduling standards by fostering a proactive culture of accountability. You will implement PEAK’s corporate policies to ensure compliance with all industry regulations and requirements while driving operational excellence.

Project Oversight & Risk Mitigation You will oversee the execution of accident- and incident-free projects, ensuring a strategy of preventative measures and thorough documentation in driving safety performance. You will perform weekly safety audits, prepare for and support third-party safety consultant reviews, and immediately follow up on findings to ensure compliance. Additionally, you will be responsible for project quality control, managing municipal inspections, documenting results, and overseeing timely punch list resolution.

Project Schedule & Resource Management You will take full ownership of PEAK’s contractual schedule requirements, developing and managing weekly lookahead schedules while ensuring alignment with the master project schedule. You will work closely with Project Management during pre-construction, procurement, and initial phases to establish critical path timelines for resource acquisition, ensuring projects are completed on time.

Training, Education & Culture Building You will cultivate a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge-sharing by leading safety training initiatives, orientations for new workers, and ongoing communication with subcontractors. Through structured documentation, daily reports, and proactive engagement in industry best practices, you will reinforce Peak’s mission and values across all job sites.

Leadership & Communication Excellence You will demonstrate proactive leadership by anticipating challenges and implementing solutions to maintain project quality and efficiency. Your ability to build strong relationships with subcontractors, municipal inspectors, end users, and third-party consultants will ensure seamless communication and collaboration. Utilizing Peak’s technology platforms, you will manage project schedules, administer budgets, and oversee procurement processes, keeping all phases of construction aligned with PEAK’s strategic goals.

Qualifications & Experience
  • Ideally, this candidate will have two or more Cold Storage/Freezer-Cooler renovations or ground up completed projects experience.
  • Ability to work well, collaboratively, constructively, and productively with others.
  • Strong project safety record and commitment to safety and quality.
  • Exhibit strong problem-solving ability and communication skills.
  • Exhibit strong decision-making skills and ability to prioritize commitments/challenges against others.
  • Must be Self-Motivated and willingness to travel or relocate to jobsite locations.
  • Strong leadership skills.
  • Exhibit an ability to mentor junior team members.
  • Ability to handle stressful situations and foresight to seek appropriate solutions in a timely manner
  • Education: B.S. in Construction Management or Engineering or equivalent trade experience with progression to management levels.
  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in complicated commercial/industrial construction project management
Some things you should know
  • Our clients and projects are nationwide – Travel will be required.
  • Our commitment to providing a respectful, caring, and collaborative work environment is unmatched.
  • Candidates selected for this position will be subject to a comprehensive background check, which includes mandatory drug testing.
Your Benefits at PEAK Construction
At PEAK, we believe in rewarding our team with a comprehensive and meaningful benefits package. Here’s what you can look forward to as part of the PEAK Team:
  • Industry Leading Medical Coverage including Vision Discount Plan.
  • Life, Short- & Long-Term Disability Insurance.
