About Florida Palm Construction

Florida Palm Construction (FPC) is a growing construction company based in South Florida. Since 2014, we have delivered projects ranging from $50,000 to $10 million across the Commercial, Higher Education, Government, and Specialty Residential sectors.

The Role

We are hiring a Superintendent to run our projects in the field from start to finish. The Superintendent is responsible for their job sites: the schedule, the subcontractors, quality, safety, and inspections. They work directly with the Project Manager, the Subcontractors, and our clients, and you are the person everyone on site answers to.

Your focus is the schedule, safety, subcontractor management, and quality control. At FPC, the schedule drives our projects and the Superintendent is responsible for that. The Superintendent keeps every trade moving, every site safe, and every scope built to code, and then document it all in our site management software.

Our Flywheel

Everything we do runs on our Flywheel:

We attract and retain top talent aligned with our core values and make sure they feel acknowledged and appreciated.
We build trust with our clients and pursue Great Projects.
We make the client part of our team and deliver our product well.
We produce profit by staying on budget and on schedule.
We invest in developing our people to keep expanding our vision as a company.

Core Values

These are the behaviors required to succeed in this role:

Do What You Say You're Going to Do. Keep the timelines and commitments you make to your team, yourself, and the client. If you can't, communicate why.

Mindset Matters. Where your focus goes, your energy flows. Turn a tough conversation into a solution.

Get Shit Done, but Communicate. Know your outcomes, build a plan to hit them, and know at all times whether you are meeting your commitments.

What You Own

Schedule and Billing

Own the project schedule from start to close-out. Drive it with subcontractors every week and confirm next week's work with each trade.
The schedule determines billing. Know which scopes must be complete each month to hit billing and cash flow targets, and push the work to get there.
Give the PM accurate percent complete by scope and lead pencil walk-throughs. Only completed, quality work gets billed.
Update the schedule in PlanRadar and report status at Monday team meetings.
Escalate delays, change orders, and expedited scopes early so billing stays on track.

Post site rules, banners, and permit cards at project start.

Subcontractor Management

Manage every subcontractor and vendor coming on and off site.
Lead the Subcontractor Pre-Con meeting: review scopes, set expectations, and go over site rules.
Tell subcontractors when their scope starts and when it must be complete, and hold them to it.
Confirm subcontractor materials are ordered in time to meet the schedule.
Manage subcontractor tasks and field RFIs in PlanRadar.
Approve subcontractor work weekly and confirm the work being billed is complete.

Quality Control

Make sure all work is built to code and to plans and specifications.
Review plans, shop drawings, and cut sheets, and build the Required On Job (ROJ) list before work starts.
Own all city and county inspections: schedule them, prepare the site, pass them, and report inspector comments to the team.
Lead the Completion of Rough meeting with the PM and verify layouts before close-up.
Pass final inspections, close the permit, and run both the FPC and client punch lists to completion.

Communication and Documentation

Present your project execution plan to the VP of Operations and PM at hand-off.
Enter daily logs, upload job site photos, and keep current plans in PlanRadar.
Update the PM daily, elevate issues the same day, and send contract changes by email.
