We are seeking a Construction Superintendent with 5+ years of superintendent experience who takes pride in running an organized jobsite, solving problems, and delivering quality work. This is an opportunity to take ownership of your projects, work directly with experienced leadership, and grow into a larger field leadership role as the company expands.

• Manage logistics: Coordinate with building management on access, deliveries, shutdowns, noise restrictions, occupied spaces, and off-hours work.
• Finish strong: Coordinate inspections with the project team and trades, complete punch-list work, and support final turnover and closeout.
