Job Description

Who We Are & What We Do:

Design for Leisure (DFL) is a team of hydrothermal spa specialists working in partnership with owners, operators, architects, and designers to bring European-inspired hydrotherapy concepts to life. Our expertise in building best-in-class wet areas ranges from small but luxurious residential thermal suites to acclaimed hydrothermal circuits for 5-star hospitality projects and luxury commercial developments.

As a growing leader in the wellness construction industry, we are passionate about craftsmanship, innovation, and delivering exceptional experiences through world-class thermal environments.

What We’re Looking For:

DFL is seeking a Traveling Lead Commercial Interiors Superintendent who thrives in a fast-paced, multinational environment and brings both strong leadership and hands-on building expertise.

This is not a role for someone who simply manages schedules and tracks subcontractors — we are looking for a superintendent who actively contributes in the field, works alongside crews, and takes ownership of execution.

The ideal candidate is eager to join a growing company in the unique wellness industry, has exemplary communication and leadership skills, and possesses deep experience in commercial interiors construction. This person must be able to train and lead crews in proper installation techniques while maintaining the luxury-level standards our clients expect.

This position requires significant travel, with mobilizations of up to two weeks at a time being common. A positive, solutions-oriented mindset and levelheaded approach to problem-solving are essential to success at DFL.

Technical Ownership & Field Expertise

In addition to leading daily site operations, this role is for someone who can own a specific technical area such as plumbing or HVAC . We are seeking a builder-leader who serves as an internal expert and helps elevate DFL’s installation quality, accountability, and long-term field procedures.

This position will:

• Work hands-on with crews to ensure best-in-class execution
• Serve as the point of accountability for quality, consistency, and performance in your focus area
• Help build repeatable systems that strengthen DFL’s internal expertise as we grow

What Your Day Looks Like:

• Overseeing daily on-site project execution for luxury commercial construction projects
• Coordinating all aspects of the build, including sequencing, quality control, and field communication
• Managing, coaching, and assessing subcontractors to ensure the right people are on the right scope
• Working alongside your crew — many days will involve installing DFL products directly in the field
• Providing real-time problem solving and coordination between subcontractors and the internal DFL team
• Collaborating with project managers and internal stakeholders to meet deadlines while optimizing labor and resources
• Monitoring workmanship through regular inspections and addressing deficiencies immediately
• Standardizing and documenting installation procedures to ensure quality and uniformity across all projects
• Ensuring jobsite safety compliance, cleanliness, and organization at all times
• Maintaining accurate daily work reports, work plans, and milestone tracking
• Attending meetings with clients, vendors, architects, and external partners to ensure alignment and execution 

Required Skills:

·        Proficiency in reading and interpreting architectural drawings and contract documents.

·        Strong leadership skills to manage on-site teams effectively.
