An established construction management firm is seeking a seasoned Superintendent to lead field operations on a high-profile, ground-up firehouse project located in a coastal environment. This is a two-year, full-site build requiring strong coordination skills, deep construction knowledge, and experience with public agency oversight — especially within New York City.

The ideal candidate will be a hands-on leader who understands the complexities of managing trades, schedules, inspections, and safety on active municipal projects. Experience building on or near the water — with associated water table, dewatering, and soil stabilization challenges — is essential.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the lead on-site authority for all field construction activities, from mobilization to final inspection.
• Direct subcontractor performance, logistics, and sequencing to maintain schedule integrity and construction quality.
• Oversee site-specific challenges including water table management, coastal protection, and environmental compliance.
• Enforce all safety protocols and ensure compliance with OSHA and NYC construction regulations.
• Work closely with the Project Manager to maintain updated schedules, coordinate inspections, and respond to design clarifications or field conditions.
• Maintain accurate daily reports, field documentation, and progress tracking using tools such as Procore, Fieldwire, or similar.
• Conduct daily safety meetings, manage quality control walk-throughs, and uphold performance standards across all trades.
• Interface with third-party inspectors, city agencies (DOB, DEP), and utility companies to ensure all inspections and milestones are met.
• Collaborate with DDC representatives and ensure city-specific protocols are followed throughout the project.

Qualifications:

• Experience: Minimum 10 years of field supervision experience on vertical construction projects, preferably public-sector or municipal buildings.
• Proven success managing ground-up projects in coastal or flood-prone zones, including dewatering, foundation systems, and resilient construction practices.
• Experience with NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) protocols strongly preferred.
• Solid knowledge of NYC Building Code, OSHA standards, and trade coordination across MEP, structural, and civil disciplines.
• Proficiency in field reporting software (e.g., Procore, PlanGrid, Bluebeam).
• Strong communication and leadership skills with the ability to maintain control over complex, multi-trade sites.

Certifications (Required/Preferred):

• OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety (Required)
• NYC DOB 62-Hour SST Supervisor Card (Required or obtainable before mobilization)
• NYC Site Safety Manager License (Preferred)
• CPR/First Aid Certification (Preferred)
