Project Superintendent

Shelby Construction is a custom residential design-build firm and licensed general contractor building across Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, and the City of Tampa. We're hiring Project Superintendents to run our jobsites end-to-end. This is not a clipboard-and-radio role. Our superintendents own their projects from permit-in-hand through final punch, including the schedule, the subs, the client relationship, and the budget performance on the job. We don't hire separate project managers. We trust the person running the job to run the job. Our finance team handles PO issuance, draws, and invoices. Our logistics team handles permits and material procurement. Your job is to take a permitted, ready-to-build project and execute it — managing the schedule, the subs, the client, and your budget — and to be accountable to our KPIs. You will be expected to manage two projects simultaneously. You'll report to our Director of Construction and work alongside a tight team of 13 with 173 years of combined construction experience and a 90% client referral rate. If you're a superintendent who's been waiting for someone to let you actually run the project without office politics, without competing PMs, and with real back-office support, then this role is built for you.
