A growing, mid-sized General Contractor in Greater Boston is seeking a General Superintendent to provide field leadership across its Healthcare and Life Sciences portfolio.
The company specializes in technically challenging construction projects, including active healthcare environments, laboratory renovations, research facilities, and complex institutional developments.
With an established reputation in the market and continued investment in its field operations, the company is looking for a seasoned construction professional who can provide leadership, mentorship, and operational consistency across multiple project teams.
Unlike a traditional project-based Superintendent position, this opportunity offers broader involvement in the company's operations and the ability to influence how projects are staffed, managed, and delivered.
The Opportunity
- Provide senior field leadership and oversight across multiple healthcare and life sciences construction projects.
- Manage, mentor, and develop Superintendents, Assistant Superintendents, and other field personnel.
- Partner with Project Executives and Operations Leadership on project staffing, scheduling, and resource allocation.
- Establish and maintain consistent standards for safety, quality, site logistics, and field execution.
- Support preconstruction efforts through constructability reviews, scheduling input, and logistics planning.
- Assist with resolving complex field challenges and maintaining positive relationships with clients and trade partners.
- Help develop the company's next generation of field leadership.
What We're Looking For
- 15–20+ years of commercial construction experience, including substantial healthcare and life sciences project experience.
- Previous experience as a General Superintendent, Senior Superintendent, or Field Operations Leader.
- Strong knowledge of occupied hospital construction, laboratory facilities, infection control procedures, and complex MEP systems.
- Demonstrated experience leading multiple project teams and mentoring Superintendents.
- Strong communication, organizational, and leadership abilities.
- Established relationships within the Greater Boston subcontractor and construction community are highly desirable.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Newly Elevated Leadership Position: An opportunity to take ownership of field operations as the company formalizes and expands its senior leadership structure.
- Influence Beyond Individual Projects: Help establish best practices, develop field personnel, and improve how the organization approaches project delivery.
- Selective Project Portfolio: The company prioritizes technically interesting work with established institutional clients rather than pursuing volume for the sake of growth.
- Strong Internal Support: Experienced project management and preconstruction teams allow field leadership to focus on execution, staffing, and developing people.
- Long-Term Succession Opportunity: Leadership is focused on building a sustainable management structure, creating a potential pathway into broader operations leadership.
This is an opportunity for a highly experienced Superintendent who is ready to move beyond managing individual projects and take on a more strategic leadership role within a respected Greater Boston contractor.
