Job description

Construction Superintendent – High-Rise Restoration

Miami-Dade County, FL | Full-Time | On-Site

An established Florida General Contractor with more than 30 years of experience is hiring a Construction Superintendent for high-rise concrete and waterproofing restoration projects ranging from $1 million to $50 million-plus.

We are seeking a proactive, computer-savvy Superintendent who can independently lead field operations while assisting with limited Assistant Project Manager and Project Manager functions. Direct high-rise restoration experience is required; however, candidates with limited Superintendent experience will be considered and trained.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience


• Medical, dental, and life insurance


• 401(k) with company match


• Paid vacation and holidays


• Long-term stability and professional growth

Responsibilities

• Lead daily field operations, crews, subcontractors, vendors, and jobsite activities.


• Coordinate manpower, materials, equipment, inspections, deliveries, and schedules.


• Ensure work meets project specifications, quality standards, and safety requirements.


• Read plans, specifications, scopes of work, and engineering documents.


• Maintain daily reports, progress photos, as-builts, and other project documentation.


• Assist with RFIs, submittals, change orders, quantity verification, and project closeout.


• Identify and document field issues, additional work, and potential solutions.


• Coordinate with project managers, engineers, inspectors, clients, and building representatives.


• Use construction-management software to keep project information accurate and current.

Qualifications

• Direct experience with occupied high-rise concrete, stucco, or waterproofing restoration.


• Ability to independently drive field operations—not simply monitor crews.


• Strong computer skills, including email, Microsoft Office, and electronic project documents.


• Ability to read construction plans, specifications, and engineering drawings.


• Strong leadership, organization, communication, and problem-solving skills.


• Experience with project documentation and limited APM or PM responsibilities preferred.


• Procore, Bluebeam, and OSHA training are preferred.


• Previous experience as a Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Foreman, Project Engineer, or Assistant Project Manager will be considered.

Direct high-rise restoration experience is required, but we will train candidates who demonstrate strong industry knowledge, computer skills, leadership potential, and a willingness to learn.
