This individual will oversee subcontractors, scheduling, quality control, safety, inspections, site logistics, and overall field execution.

The ideal candidate has a strong background specifically in multifamily construction, including affordable housing and/or market-rate apartment developments. Experience with townhome-style, walk-up, or similar multifamily projects is highly desirable, particularly projects featuring garages at the ground level with one to two stories of residential living space above.

Strong scheduling experience is a major requirement for this position. The Superintendent must be proactive in developing, managing, and maintaining the construction schedule while effectively communicating project progress, challenges, and solutions to ownership and project stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage construction of multifamily units with ground-level garages and residential living spaces above where applicable.
• Coordinate framing, roofing, waterproofing, building envelope, MEP systems, drywall, finishes, sitework, and other major construction scopes.
• Lead subcontractor coordination meetings, safety meetings, and daily field planning.
• Review construction drawings, specifications, and project documents to identify constructability issues and field conflicts.
• Coordinate closely with the Project Manager regarding RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement, and schedule impacts.
• Manage site logistics, material deliveries, staging, equipment, and workforce coordination.
• Coordinate inspections and ensure work is properly prepared before scheduled inspections.
• Maintain high standards for workmanship, quality control, jobsite organization, and safety.
• Maintain accurate daily reports, progress photographs, manpower logs, and field documentation.
• Oversee punch lists, unit completion, final inspections, turnover, and project closeout.
• Maintain clear and professional communication with ownership regarding project progress, upcoming milestones, challenges, and solutions.
• Build strong working relationships with owners, architects, consultants, subcontractors, inspectors, and internal project teams.

• Strong construction scheduling experience required.
• Proven ability to develop and manage look-ahead schedules and maintain overall project milestones.
