•       Enforce jobsite safety programs and OSHA compliance; lead toolbox talks and site safety inspections.

•       Coordinate with the Project Manager on procurement, RFIs, submittals, and change order impacts to schedule and field logistics.

•       Conduct quality control inspections to ensure work conforms to contract documents, specifications, and approved shop drawings.

•       Manage subcontractor performance, site logistics, material deliveries, and equipment needs throughout each phase of construction.

•       Maintain daily field reports, progress photos, and manpower logs; escalate risks or delays proactively.

•       Lead weekly OAC (Owner-Architect-Contractor) and subcontractor coordination meetings as required.

•       Support punch list, commissioning, and turnover activities to achieve on-time, on-budget project completion.

Qualifications

•       Minimum 7–10 years of construction supervision experience, with required ground-up construction experience (foundation/structure through completion) on commercial, institutional, or similar projects.

•       Proven ability to run multiple trades and subcontractors concurrently in a fast-paced field environment.

•       Strong working knowledge of building codes, safety regulations (OSHA 30 preferred), and quality standards.

•       Experience with construction software (e.g., Procore, MS Project, or similar) and daily field reporting tools.

•       Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills; able to make sound decisions under field pressure.

•       Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and contract documents.

•       OSHA 10/30 certification required; First Aid/CPR certification a plus.

•       Valid driver's license and reliable transportation to jobsites across Connecticut/New York.

Physical Requirements

•       Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions and navigate active construction sites.

•       Ability to climb ladders/stairs, walk uneven terrain, and stand for extended periods.
