• Communicate regularly with project managers, owners, architects, engineers, and subcontractors.
• Maintain accurate daily reports documenting manpower, jobsite progress, deliveries, and other project activities.

• 7–10 years of commercial construction experience, including significant ground-up construction experience.
• Proven experience leading commercial construction projects as a Superintendent or comparable field leader.
• Strong understanding of sitework, foundations, concrete, structural steel, framing, building envelope, and interior construction.
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and schedules.
• Demonstrated ability to lead subcontractors, manage field operations, and hold teams accountable.
• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Working knowledge of construction safety, quality control, and scheduling.
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel to job sites throughout southeastern Wisconsin.

Preferred: Experience with commercial, educational, institutional, or industrial projects; union trades; and projects in the $5 million–$20 million range.

We want a hands-on leader who takes ownership of the jobsite, anticipates problems, and understands the importance of planning, productivity, quality, and profitability.

The ideal candidate earns the respect of subcontractors and field crews, communicates proactively, and takes pride in delivering successful projects safely, on schedule, and within budget.
