• Lead safety efforts on site and maintain a clean, organized, and professional jobsite

• Manage punch list activities, inspections, turnover, and project closeout

• Travel to future project locations throughout the United States as business needs require

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Superintendent overseeing commercial construction projects

• Comfortable working independently and making field decisions when needed

• Organized and consistent with project documentation and reporting

• Willing and able to travel throughout the United States for future projects

• Washington based candidates are preferred, particularly those within reasonable access to Tacoma

• Candidates outside Washington will also be considered if they are comfortable traveling to Tacoma for the initial project and to future project locations as needed
