The Superintendent partners closely with the Project Manager to deliver projects on time, within budget, and in accordance with company policies and procedures.

• Schedule Management : Develop and maintain detailed look-ahead schedules; drive progress to meet critical milestones and proactively resolve conflicts and delays.
• Quality Assurance : Ensure all work is performed to high standards, in accordance with plans, specifications, building codes, and owner requirements.
• Safety Oversight : Enforce site safety policies and maintain compliance with OSHA and company standards; conduct regular safety meetings and inspections.
• Team Coordination : Collaborate closely with project managers, engineers, architects, consultants, and client representatives to maintain alignment and ensure clear communication.
• Inspections & Reporting: Coordinate with local authorities for inspections and approvals; maintain daily logs, safety documentation, and progress reports.

Minimum Requirements

• 8+ years of general construction field leadership experience, preferably in a general contractor or homebuilder environment
• High School Diploma or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of all elements of commercial construction including structural, MEP, and architectural coordination in retrofit or hybrid new/old environments.
• Ability to read and interpret complex drawings, submittals, and technical documents.
• Strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
• Proven experience with project manager software
