Job summary

Forge Construction seeks a Finish Superintendent to lead the interior finish scope from dry-in through certificate of occupancy. You will drive the unit train, coordinate trade sequencing, and ensure turnover packages enable leasing on day one with minimal punch lists.

This role requires 5+ years in commercial/multifamily construction, strong finish quality standards, and the ability to enforce them via mock-ups and pre-punch discipline. Regional travel and safety leadership are essential.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of commercial or multifamily construction superintendent or assistant superintendent experience with demonstrated ownership of interior finish scopes.
• Experience running a multifamily unit train and delivering buildings to CO on schedule.
• Strong finish quality standards and ability to enforce them through mock-ups and pre-punch discipline.
• Working knowledge of building codes, life-safety systems, and AHJ CO processes in Indiana/Kentucky jurisdictions.
• Proficiency with project management software and punch list tools.

Responsibilities

• Build, publish, and drive the unit train — establishing crew rhythm, unit-per-day production rates, and the sequence each trade follows through the building.
• Protect the train from disruption: verify predecessor work is complete and inspected before releasing the next trade, and prevent out-of-sequence work that creates rework.
• Track production daily against target rates and take corrective action when a trade falls behind.
• Coordinate insulation, drywall hang, finish, and paint sequencing with temporary conditioning, humidity control, and building dry-out requirements.
• Direct interior trades — doors and hardware, trim and millwork, cabinets and countertops, flooring, tile, painting, and specialties.
• Manage MEP trim-out and device installation, including fixtures, appliances, HVAC start-up, and life-safety devices.
• Conduct pre-installation meetings and establish mock-up units that set quality standards for the remainder of the building.
• Verify finish selections, colors, and product substitutions against submittals and the owner's finish schedule.
• Enforce protection of completed finishes and damage accountability.
• Sequence clubhouse, leasing office, fitness, and common area finishes for timely CO and first move-in.
• Coordinate final site work, landscaping, lighting, and signaling with the site team.
• Own the CO path with inspections, sign-offs, and third-party certifications.
