Job description

LEAD SUPERINTENDENT -

MULTIFAMILY CONSTRUCTION

Own the Field. Set the Standard. Build the Plan into Reality.

If you've spent years proving you can run a jobsite and you're ready to run one inside a system that supports you, rather than leaving you on an island, this role was built for you.

At UrbanCore, we believe planning and discipline create freedom. The best jobsites aren't the ones with the loudest leader. They're the ones where the work is ready, the trades know what's expected, and the plan holds because someone had the discipline to build it right and the presence to protect it every single day.

We're looking for a Superintendent who leads from the field, thinks weeks ahead, and understands that control isn't something you take, it's something you create through preparation.

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK HERE

Most construction environments accept chaos as part of the job. We don't. UrbanCore is a highly collaborative environment built on respect for the work, the plan, and the people doing it. We set clear expectations, plan work intentionally, and drive accountability without blame.

We believe the best projects are built through:

Clear expectations instead of constant urgency
Disciplined planning instead of last-minute scrambling
Accountability without blame
Respect for every trade partner on site

When we plan and execute well, our teams:

Build better projects.
Create flexibility through discipline.
Protect their time and energy.
Deliver consistent results.

THE ROLE

The Superintendent owns the field.

From preconstruction turnover through final closeout, you are accountable for how the project runs from the schedule, to safety culture, to the quality of what gets installed, and the standard every trade is held to. You set the tone before the first crew mobilizes and you protect it until the last punch item closes.

You’ll lead an Assistant Superintendent, coordinate every trade partner on site, and turn the plan into predictable production. You're not chasing the work. You're clearing the path in front of it.

This role is best suited for someone who believes calm, disciplined leadership produces better results than constant reaction.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Lead, Manage & Hold Accountable

Set clear expectations, then confirm they're being met.
Mentor your Assistant Super. Develop your foremen and trades.
Address issues quickly and directly. Clear is kind.
Hold trade partners accountable for safety, quality, and schedule.

Project Startup & Planning

Own startup: turnover, checklists, logistics plan, and project visuals.
Build the milestone schedule from the contract baseline.
Run constructability review to surface conflicts early, not actively in the field.
Lead precons and integrate every requirement into the plan.

Safety & Compliance

Safety isn't someone else's responsibility. You own the standard.
Walk the site daily. Address unsafe conditions the moment you see them.
Keep documentation, orientations, and job boards audit-ready.
Maintain full OSHA readiness at all times.
Model safe behavior in every action.

Production Planning & Operational Excellence

Build the schedule with your team and trades via pull planning then maintain and drive the strategy behind it through takt planning.
Lead Trade Partner Tacticals, Preinstall Meetings, and 1st Walks.
Ensure daily huddles, zone walks, and logs happen consistently.

Quality Control & Inspections

Walk with purpose and never past a problem.
1st Walks with your Assistant Super to confirm readiness before moving to the next zone.
Own inspections, permits, and TCO/CO.
Define "clean and organized" in measurable terms and hold every trade to it.
