Job description

Who We Are

At ARC, we believe that our people are our greatest asset. We’re a collaborative team dedicated to building not only structures but also a positive, engaging workplace culture. Our mission goes beyond construction; we strive to create an environment where people enjoy coming to work and where our culture and core values drive everything we do.

Who You Are

You're a proven leader in the field with a passion for getting things done right the first time. You thrive in fast-moving commercial, multi-family, and mixed-use construction environments and take pride in running a clean, organized, and safe jobsite. You understand how to motivate subcontractors, manage shifting priorities, and keep a project moving forward—without sacrificing quality or professionalism. You're solution-focused, highly communicative, and comfortable being the go-to person onsite. Above all, you’re someone who takes ownership, leads by example, and knows how to bring a team together to deliver results.

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Project Superintendent to lead onsite operations for an upcoming commercial construction project scheduled to begin this fall. This is a long-term opportunity for a highly organized, hands‑on leader who knows how to keep crews moving, subcontractors aligned, and quality standards high. If you’re confident running complex builds from the ground up—working in fast‑paced commercial environments and coordinating multiple trades—you’ll thrive in this role. This position requires regular travel within the New Jersey and Philadelphia regions.

Key Responsibilities

Field Leadership & Supervision:

• Lead all onsite construction activities and ensure work is performed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with project specifications.
• Foster a positive, respectful jobsite environment among subcontractors, vendors, and team members.
• Serve as the primary onsite point of contact for project teams, inspectors, and stakeholders.

Schedule & Progress Management:

• Develop and maintain short‑term lookahead schedules in alignment with the overall project timeline.
• Monitor progress, proactively identify delays or issues, and implement recovery strategies.
• Coordinate inspections and ensure adherence to all code, safety, and regulatory requirements.

Quality & Compliance:

• Ensure all work meets design intent, quality standards, and technical specifications.
• Review shop drawings, submittals, and field conditions to resolve constructability issues.
• Maintain cleanliness and organization across the jobsite in line with safety and performance standards.

Subcontractor & Vendor Coordination:

• Review scopes of work and hold subcontractors accountable to performance expectations and project deliverables.
• Conduct regular coordination meetings to align teams and resolve conflicts early.
• Verify completion of work for progress billings and punch list sign‑offs.

Communication & Documentation:

• Maintain accurate daily field reports, logs, and jobsite documentation.
• Work closely with the Project Manager to communicate progress, budget implications, and manpower needs.
• Support project close‑out by leading punch list efforts, coordinating inspections, and collecting as‑built information.

Qualifications

• 5–8+ years of superintendent or construction management experience in commercial building, multi‑family, and mixed‑use construction projects.
• Position requires regular travel within the northern New Jersey and Philadelphia regions.
• Strong knowledge of construction documents, scopes of work, and subcontractor coordination.
• Ability to manage project schedules and field operations with minimal supervision.
• Familiarity with logistics and inspections on multi‑trade commercial sites.
• Excellent communication, problem‑solving, and organizational skills.
• Experience using or willingness to learn platforms like Bluebeam, Procore, and Microsoft Project.
• Experience with complex interior buildouts (cafés, kitchens, or food service areas) or high‑traffic commercial facilities is a plus.

Compensation

Annual Salary: $115k – $155k; commensurate with experience.

Why Join Us?

• A people‑focused culture that values teamwork, collaboration, and professional growth.
• Opportunities to lead engagement initiatives and enhance employee experience.
