Senior Residential Superintendent / Project Manager

Job Description

Job Description

We are hiring an experienced Senior Residential Superintendent / Project Manager to lead complex residential construction projects throughout the Boston area.

We are specifically looking for a senior field leader who can independently manage two to three active projects at once. The right candidate will have hands-on experience with ground-up multifamily construction, historic brownstone renovations, full-gut residential remodels, or similar urban residential projects.

This is not an Assistant Superintendent role. You will be responsible for daily field operations, subcontractor coordination, scheduling, inspections, safety, quality, documentation, and communication with ownership, clients, architects, and project stakeholders.

The ideal candidate understands the realities of building in Boston, including older structures, restricted access, occupied neighborhoods, permitting challenges, unforeseen field conditions, tight logistics, and high-end finish expectations.

• Lead daily field operations across two to three active Boston-area residential projects
• Manage projects from mobilization and startup through punch list, turnover, and closeout
• Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, inspectors, consultants, utilities, and internal project teams
• Develop and maintain schedules, look-ahead plans, sequencing, deliveries, and site logistics
• Review drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, scopes of work, and field documentation
• Monitor jobsite progress, safety, quality, subcontractor productivity, and schedule performance
• Identify structural, constructability, scheduling, and coordination issues before they delay the work
• Lead subcontractor meetings, jobsite walks, inspections, progress reviews, and punch-list completion
• Maintain clear communication with ownership, clients, architects, subcontractors, and project stakeholders
• Ensure projects are completed safely, professionally, and to high-quality standards

Requirements

• 10+ years of construction experience with significant responsibility for residential field operations
• Proven experience as a Superintendent, Senior Superintendent, or field-focused Project Manager
• Strong background in ground-up multifamily, historic brownstone renovation, full-gut residential renovation, or urban residential construction
• Ability to independently manage multiple active projects without constant oversight
• Strong knowledge of construction sequencing, subcontractor coordination, inspections, safety, and quality control
• Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, structural plans, specifications, and construction documents
• Experience managing projects from mobilization through final closeout
• Strong leadership, communication, organization, documentation, and field problem-solving skills
• Ability to travel between active jobsites throughout the Boston area

Benefits

• $120,000–$160,000 base salary, based on experience
• Performance-based bonus opportunity
• Health insurance and benefits package
• Paid time off
• Additional company-sponsored benefits
• Opportunity to lead complex and highly visible residential projects throughout Boston

This opportunity is ideal for a senior construction professional who can lead from the field, maintain control across multiple jobsites, and consistently deliver high-quality work without constant direction.
