• Review drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, and coordination documents to identify potential conflicts
• Monitor workmanship and enforce project-specific quality-control requirements
• Coordinate required inspections with local authorities, consultants, clients, and third-party testing agencies
• Lead the punch-list, commissioning, closeout, and owner-acceptance processes
• Provide leadership and direction to Assistant Superintendents, Project Engineers, field staff, and subcontractors
• Mentor and develop field team members while promoting accountability and continuous improvement
• Maintain positive relationships with clients, design professionals, trade partners, and local authorities
• Identify and resolve field issues before they affect project safety, quality, cost, or schedule

Qualifications

• High school diploma required; bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field preferred
• Additional relevant construction experience may be considered in lieu of a degree
• 10+ years of commercial construction experience, including significant field-leadership experience with a general contractor
• 5+ years of experience serving as a Superintendent or Senior Superintendent
• Demonstrated experience delivering cleanrooms, laboratories, semiconductor facilities, or advanced manufacturing projects is required
• Strong knowledge of technically complex MEP systems, process piping, controls, specialty equipment, commissioning, and facility turnover
• Experience working in active manufacturing, laboratory, or occupied technical environments
• Knowledge of clean-build procedures, contamination control, shutdown planning, and utility tie-ins
• Proven ability to lead large project teams and coordinate multiple subcontractors and work activities
• Advanced ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, schedules, and technical documentation
• Strong understanding of construction means and methods, building codes, safety requirements, and quality-control procedures
• Experience with Procore, Bluebeam, Microsoft Office, scheduling platforms, and related construction-management systems
• Ability to manage changing priorities, solve complex field issues, and maintain demanding project schedules
• OSHA 30 certification and current First Aid/CPR certification preferred

The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to:

• Promote a strong safety culture and hold project participants accountable
• Communicate technical and construction information clearly and professionally
• Coordinate effectively with operations, preconstruction, design, safety, and commissioning teams

• Build positive relationships with clients, subcontractors, vendors, and colleagues
• Coach and develop Assistant Superintendents and other field team members
