For more than 35 years, Patrick A. Finn has built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and an outstanding client experience. With more than 800 completed remodeling and construction projects, we are proud to be one of the area's premier design-build remodeling companies.

We're looking for someone who knows what a well‑run jobsite looks like and takes pride in making it happen.

What You'll Do

As our Superintendent, you'll play a critical role in keeping projects organized, moving forward, and meeting Patrick A. Finn's high standards for craftsmanship and professionalism.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Oversee day-to-day operations on residential remodeling jobsites.
• Coordinate and manage subcontractors, trade partners, suppliers, and material deliveries.
• Help maintain project schedules and ensure work is progressing efficiently.
• Conduct regular jobsite walkthroughs to monitor quality, safety, cleanliness, and workmanship.

• Maintain accurate jobsite documentation, including daily logs, photos, and project updates.
• Support and lead carpenters and other field team members while promoting accountability, teamwork, and a positive jobsite culture.

You may be a great fit if you have:

• 5+ years of experience in residential remodeling, custom home construction, or a related construction environment.
• Experience as a Superintendent, Lead Carpenter, Foreman, or other hands‑on construction leadership role.

• Strong communication and leadership skills.
• A commitment to quality craftsmanship, safety, and professionalism.
• Comfort using technology and construction management software.
• A valid driver's license and reliable transportation.

Experience in design‑build remodeling is a plus, but we welcome candidates with strong residential construction backgrounds who are ready to grow into the role.

• Competitive starting salary of approximately $75,000-$85,000 per year
• Performance-based bonus potential with total earnings of $90,000
• Health insurance for full-time employees
• Paid time off
• Six paid holidays each year, with the office typically closed between Christmas and New Year's
