About Overaa  

Overaa Construction has been building the Bay Area since 1907. As a fifth-generation family-owned builder, we self-perform critical scopes of work and deliver projects across commercial, healthcare, education, life science, water, industrial, energy, and transportation markets. 

Senior Superintendent  

We are seeking a seasoned Senior Superintendent to lead field execution on high-value, technically demanding projects. This is a senior field leadership role for someone who has run ground-up commercial and industrial work from start to finish and who can set the standard for safety, quality, and schedule on every project they touch. 

This is a career hire. The right candidate will lead a sustained pipeline of meaningful work and grow into a key field leader within the organization — not a single assignment, but a long-term seat with a respected builder. 

Responsibilities:

• Lead total field execution from mobilization through closeout and warranty — safety, quality, schedule, productivity, logistics, and field cost. 

• Serve as the on-site face of Overaa to clients, design teams, inspectors, and authorities having jurisdiction, managing those relationships with professionalism and no surprises. 

• Develop, own, and drive the master and short-interval (look-ahead) schedules in coordination with the project team; hold the field accountable to the plan and lead recovery when needed. 

• Implement and enforce a visible, non-negotiable site safety program and culture. 

• Manage subcontractors and self-perform trades — scope coordination, manpower loading, sequencing, productivity tracking, and quality of installed work. 

• Coordinate inspections, material procurement, and subcontractor sequencing to support project milestones. 

• Create and maintain site logistics plans that support safe, efficient project execution. 

• Execute the project quality control program, including pre-installation meetings, inspections, punch, commissioning support, and turnover documentation. 

• Track field productivity and cost, identify and forecast impacts, and support the Project Manager on change management and schedule discipline. 

• Mentor and develop Assistant Superintendents, Foremen, and Field Engineers, raising the capability of the field team. 

Required Qualifications:

• 15+ years of progressive field supervision experience in commercial and/or industrial construction, with a clear track record as the Lead Superintendent on completed projects. 

• Start-to-finish ground-up experience with demonstrated ownership through site work, foundations, structure, MEP, finishes, commissioning, and closeout. 

• Experience serving as the Lead Superintendent on ground-up commercial, industrial, healthcare, utility, or public works projects of substantial size and complexity. 

• Schedule command — fluent in CPM scheduling and short-interval planning; able to build, drive, and recover a schedule rather than simply report on it. 

• Safety leadership with a proven record of safe project delivery; OSHA 30 minimum. 

• Sophisticated client management experience supporting institutional, public agency, healthcare, industrial, mission-critical, or utility clients. 

• Strong command of civil, structural, and MEP systems; able to read and coordinate complex drawings and resolve constructability issues in the field. 

• Proficiency with Procore (or equivalent) and digital field tools, including mobile-based daily reporting, RFIs, and documentation. 

Preferred:

• Experience delivering projects for utility owners such as PG&E, public agencies, industrial manufacturers, or energy providers is highly desirable. 

• Experience working with high-voltage or heavy electrical scopes including substations, switchgear, transmission, utility infrastructure, or energy facilities. 

• Experience coordinating utility owners, AHJs, commissioning teams, shutdowns, tie-ins, and complex operational interfaces. 

• Experience supervising self-perform structural concrete, site work, or craft labor operations. 

• Familiarity with utility or public agency standards, inspection requirements, and coordination protocols. 

• Bilingual English/Spanish. 

• Knowledge of SWPPP, environmental compliance, LEED, and sustainability practices. 
  

Education & Credentials:

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent field experience weighted equally. 

• OSHA 30 required. 

• OSHA 510/500, CPR/First Aid, and trade-specific safety certifications are a plus.

• Competitive Salary 

• Incentive / Bonus Plans

• Dental and Vision Insurance 

• Flexible Spending Accounts
