Job description

Woods & Co is proud to be partnering with an established construction company in their search for an experienced Assistant Superintendent to join their San Diego team. This is an opportunity for a proven construction professional to play a key role in the delivery of high-quality multifamily developments, working alongside an experienced project team and taking real ownership of field operations.

The ideal candidate will bring 8+ years of multifamily construction experience, with a strong background in concrete and framing. This is not a commercial construction role — the hiring team is specifically looking for someone who understands multifamily construction and has successfully delivered projects in this environment.

This is a hands-on position for someone who knows how to coordinate trades, keep a project moving, identify issues before they become problems, and maintain high standards for safety, quality, and execution.

The Role

As Assistant Superintendent, you'll work closely with the Superintendent and broader project team to manage the day-to-day field operations of multifamily projects. You'll coordinate subcontractors and trades, assist with project scheduling and sequencing, monitor quality and safety, and help ensure construction progresses according to plan.

You'll be a visible presence on site and will work directly with subcontractors, vendors, and construction professionals to keep the project moving efficiently. This is a role for someone who enjoys being in the field, solving problems, and taking ownership of the details that ultimately determine whether a project is delivered successfully.

What's In It For You?

• $160,000+ base salary, depending on experience
• Performance-based bonus
• Opportunity to work on significant multifamily developments in the San Diego market
• Join an established construction organization with an experienced project team
• Take on a key role in the successful delivery of projects from the field
• Work in an environment where strong construction knowledge and field leadership are genuinely valued
• Long-term opportunity for growth within the organization
