Superintendent - Commercial Low Slope

About American Roofing & Metal American Roofing & Metal Co. is a leading commercial roofing contractor headquartered in Louisville, KY, serving the Kentucky, southern Indiana, and Cincinnati markets. We self-perform low slope, architectural sheet metal, solar, and service work on commercial, industrial, healthcare, education, and government projects. We are a growing, 400+ employee organization running on EOS, with a culture built around accountability, quality, and people who take pride in their craft. About The Role The Superintendent is the senior field leadership presence across multiple active low slope jobsites. This role bridges office-side project management and field execution. You are directly accountable for field crew performance - safety, production pace, installation quality, and crew development - across every job in your assigned portfolio. This is not a desk job. You will be on roofs, in the field, and coaching foremen every day. If you are the kind of field leader who has high attention to detail, catches a safety issue before it becomes an incident, and can tell within an hour whether a crew is going to hit its numbers, this is your seat. What You\'ll Do Field Accountability & Oversight Visit every active job on your assigned list a minimum of 2x per week; high-risk or underperforming jobs get daily presence Verify foremen are executing daily: JSA completed, crew briefed, production goals set, quality standards met Conduct unannounced field audits on safety compliance, housekeeping, material staging, and work quality Own crew productivity across your jobs: monitor labor hours vs. budget and identify underperforming crews Serve as the primary field escalation point for foremen Ensure watertight conditions and property protection standards are maintained on every job, every day Safety Leadership Enforce AR&M and OSHA safety standards with zero tolerance for non-compliance Conduct weekly safety inspections across assigned jobs; document findings and track corrective actions Ensure all incidents and near-misses are reported to Safety same-day Remove any crew member from a jobsite who refuses to comply with safety protocols - no exceptions Quality Assurance Conduct a quality inspection on every job visit; verify workmanship meets manufacturer specs, AR&M standards, and approved shop drawings before crews move to the next phase Perform focused inspections at critical installation milestones: substrate prep, membrane attachment, flashing and detail work, and final punch Document deficiencies with photos and written notes; communicate same-day to foreman for correction and to PM for tracking Identify and document rework events; report frequency and root cause to the Division Head Support PMs in punch list prevention - catching deficiencies during production, not at closeout Crew Development & Performance Management Evaluate foreman performance continuously: production leadership, crew management, safety discipline, communication Coach foremen on planning, crew deployment, and field decision-making Identify and develop right-hand men as future foremen; recommend promotions when ready Document and report persistent underperformance to the Division Head Recognize strong field performance - morale and retention are part of this job Production Coordination Coordinate with PMs on crew scheduling, job sequencing, and resource allocation Verify material deliveries on-site when the PM is not present: check quantities and condition against PO and delivery ticket; communicate confirmation or discrepancies same-day Identify equipment, material, and manpower needs in advance; flag shortages before they cost production days Facilitate crew moves between jobs when priorities shift Attend WAR Room kickoff meetings for all assigned jobs Reporting & Communication Provide daily field updates to the Division Head and PMs: production, crew issues, safety, quality Maintain a weekly report on assigned jobs: jobs visited, issues found, corrective actions, crew performance notes Escalate systemic issues with data and recommendations Participate in weekly L10 / production meetings with field performance data Accountability This role is measured, not managed by feel. You\'ll carry weekly expectations on jobsite visit cadence, safety inspection completion, labor hours against budget, crew utilization, and foreman coaching. Incidents and recordables are tracked to zero. Quality deficiencies are documented same-day. If you\'re the kind of field leader who wants the standards clearly defined and wants to be graded against them, you\'ll fit. If you\'re looking for a role where the metrics stay fuzzy, this isn\'t it.
