We are expanding our presence in the Northern Virginia/DC metro market, delivering large scale commercial, public works, and multi-family construction projects. We are looking for Field Superintendents who play an integral role in leading project sites and take responsibility for leading a field team.

Position Summary

Enforce jobsite safety requirements, lead regular safety meetings, and maintain a clean, compliant work environment. Monitor work as it's installed, coordinate inspections, and ensure the finished product meets plans and specifications. Communicate clearly with the Project Management team, inspectors, subcontractors, and other stakeholders to keep the project on track.

Qualifications

7-15+ years of commercial construction field experience; proven experience as a Superintendent or lead field role; experience in commercial, municipal, public safety, or multifamily construction; strong understanding of construction sequencing, coordination, and site logistics; ability to read and interpret drawings and specifications. Experience with fire & rescue facilities, civic buildings, and multi-family projects is a plus but not required.
