Job Description

The Superintendent is the primary field leader responsible for the successful coordination, supervision, and execution of assigned construction projects from mobilization through final closeout.

The Superintendent is accountable for daily field operations, project schedule execution, subcontractor coordination, jobsite safety, quality control, inspections, and construction productivity.

This position requires a proactive construction professional who takes ownership of the jobsite, anticipates problems, holds subcontractors accountable, and maintains clear communication with the Project Manager.

The ideal candidate understands that successful construction is achieved through disciplined planning, strong leadership, and consistent follow-through—not simply reacting to daily jobsite issues.

Projects typically range from $5M to $25M and include multifamily, affordable housing, hospitality renovations, mixed-use, and ground-up commercial developments.

Subcontractor Management

• Track inspection results and required corrections.
• Coordinate with inspectors, consultants, and jurisdictional representatives.
• Verify current drawings, RFIs, and approved submittals are being used in the field.

Documentation & Risk Management

• Maintain accurate daily reports, project photos, and field records in Procore.
• Document manpower, activities, delays, and significant project events.
• Identify potential change conditions and cost exposures.
• Communicate schedule, safety, quality, and procurement concerns promptly.
• Maintain accurate documentation supporting project decisions and potential changes.

Project Closeout

• Coordinate completion of punch lists and final corrections.
• Schedule and support final inspections.
• Assist with owner turnover and closeout requirements.
