Real Estate Development & Construction Executive | The Peak's Emerging Leader Under 40

Company Overview

Verdicon Builders is a Southern Ontario-based construction firm that has evolved from a trusted owner’s representative to a full-service builder. With a leadership team bringing over a decade of industry success across residential and mixed-use developments, we leverage our deep client-side insight to deliver projects with uncompromising quality.

Verdicon is at the forefront of modern building, championing innovative, high-efficiency construction strategies; from design-assist collaboration to modular and precast building systems that drive superior results. Our commitment to sustainability, cutting-edge technology, and excellence in execution has positioned us as a rising leader in the construction industry.

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Site Superintendent to oversee on-site execution of mid- and high-rise residential construction projects. In this leadership role, you will manage day-to-day construction activities, ensuring that work is completed safely, on schedule, and to the highest quality standards. Reporting to the senior leadership, you will be the key field representative for Verdicon, coordinating trades and consultants while upholding our company’s values of safety, integrity, and excellence. You will also occasionally contribute to pre-construction planning, providing valuable input on logistics, scheduling, and constructability to set projects up for success. This is a full-time, permanent position that offers the opportunity to lead innovative building projects and shape the future of urban development with a quality-driven company.

Key Responsibilities

• On-Site Project Leadership: Oversee all on-site construction activities for mid- and high-rise residential projects from groundbreaking through completion. Manage site setup, daily operations, and project close-out to ensure timely and on-budget delivery.
• Trade Coordination & Supervision: Direct and coordinate the work of subcontractors, trades, and site staff to maintain a smooth workflow. Hold daily morning meetings or huddles to assign tasks, communicate goals, and ensure everyone is aligned with the schedule. Supervise construction efforts in accordance with the project plan and design documents, proactively resolving any conflicts or discrepancies in the field.
• Schedule & Budget Management: Monitor the construction schedule closely, including critical path activities and milestones. Develop and maintain short-interval (e.g. 2-week and 6-week lookahead) schedules to plan upcoming work. Work with the Project Manager to adjust strategies as needed to keep the project on track. Ensure efficient use of labor, equipment, and materials to meet project timelines and budget targets.
• Quality Control: Enforce Verdicon’s quality standards and the project’s specifications on site. Regularly review work in progress for adherence to drawings, building code requirements, and design intent. Identify any design or installation deficiencies early and coordinate solutions with consultants and engineers to maintain the integrity and durability of the build.
• Safety Compliance: Act as the on-site safety champion, implementing the company’s health and safety program and promoting a safe work environment at all times. Conduct regular site safety inspections and toolbox talks. Ensure all personnel and visitors follow WHMIS guidelines and Occupational Health and Safety regulations. Immediately address any safety hazards or incidents in compliance with legal and company standards.
• Documentation & Reporting: Maintain thorough daily site logs, progress reports, and documentation of site activities. Use construction management software (e.g. Procore) to track project information, RFIs, and daily reports. Verify that all required inspections are completed and that necessary approvals or permits are obtained at appropriate milestones.
• Stakeholder Communication: Serve as the primary on-site point of contact for stakeholders. Coordinate closely with the Project Manager and internal teams to report progress, issues, and resource needs. Facilitate site meetings with trades, consultants, and client representatives to review progress and upcoming work. Liaise with architects, engineers, and municipal inspectors, ensuring their feedback or requirements are integrated seamlessly into the construction process.
• Problem Solving & Adaptability: Proactively identify and resolve on-site challenges that could impact safety, schedule, or quality. Whether it’s unforeseen site conditions, scheduling conflicts, or technical construction problems, you will develop and implement solutions swiftly to keep the project moving forward. Adapt construction plans in coordination with the project team and maintain momentum without compromising standards.
• Pre-Construction Involvement: When needed, participate in pre-construction planning for upcoming projects. Provide practical insights on construction methodologies, sequencing, crane placement, site logistics, and schedule development based on your field experience. Help vet plans for potential issues and contribute to strategy so that each project is set up for efficient execution from day one.

Qualifications & Experience

• Experience: Minimum 8 years of direct on-site construction supervision experience, with a strong track record on large-scale residential or mixed-use building projects. You have taken projects from start to finish as a Site Super (or similar role), demonstrating the ability to deliver complex multi-story developments successfully. Experience with modular construction or precast concrete systems is a significant asset, as many of our projects utilize these modern building methods.
• Technical Knowledge: In-depth understanding of construction practices, building codes, and safety regulations. Capable of reading and interpreting architectural and structural drawings, specifications, and shop drawings with ease. Strong knowledge of the OBC and OHSA is expected, ensuring all work is compliant with legal standards. You are adept at construction sequencing and have a solid grasp of all major trades involved in high-rise residential construction (structural, building envelope, M&E, finishes, etc.).
• Leadership & Communication: Proven leadership and team management skills. You excel at coordinating diverse trade teams and site staff, keeping everyone focused and productive. Strong communication and interpersonal abilities are required to effectively collaborate with subcontractors, consultants, and internal teams. You are comfortable leading site meetings, providing clear direction, and can negotiate and influence to maintain progress. A calm, solutions-oriented attitude under pressure is essential.
• Organization & Multitasking: Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to prioritize and handle multiple tasks or even multiple project sites when required. You can maintain control and oversight in a fast-paced environment without compromising attention to detail. Familiarity with construction project scheduling and the discipline to push toward milestones are key.
• Software Proficiency: Proficient with construction management software, e.g. Procore, for managing project documentation, drawings, and progress tracking. Competency in using other digital tools such as scheduling software (e.g. MS Project), and everyday productivity tools (email, spreadsheets) is expected. Embracing technology is important as Verdicon leverages cutting-edge tech to enhance efficiency and communication.
• Certifications: Hold a current WHMIS certification. Additional certifications are strong assets; e.g. a GSC or PMP designation. Any relevant safety training (e.g. Working at Heights, First Aid CPR) will also be considered an advantage.
