Job description

We are representing a respected, mid-sized General Contractor in the Greater Boston area that is seeking an experienced Senior Superintendent to oversee large-scale multi-family residential developments.

This contractor has developed a strong reputation for delivering high-quality residential projects throughout Massachusetts and continues to expand its portfolio through established developer relationships and a consistent pipeline of upcoming work.

The company offers the stability and resources of an established builder while maintaining the close-knit, hands-on environment of a smaller organization.

The Opportunity

• Lead ground-up multi-family construction projects from initial sitework through final turnover.
• Oversee all daily field operations, subcontractor coordination, site logistics, and construction sequencing.
• Work closely with Project Managers, Assistant Superintendents, and field engineers to maintain project schedules and budgets.
• Maintain high standards for safety, quality control, and subcontractor performance.
• Serve as the primary on-site leader, coordinating with ownership, design teams, and municipal inspectors.

What We're Looking For

• 10-15+ years of commercial construction experience, with a strong emphasis on ground-up multi-family residential projects.
• Proven experience as a Lead or Senior Superintendent on wood-frame, podium-style, or structural steel/concrete residential developments.
• Experience managing projects valued at $30M-$100M+ preferred.
• Strong understanding of scheduling, site logistics, subcontractor management, and construction sequencing.
• Demonstrated ability to independently run complex projects and mentor junior field personnel.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Projects Already in the Pipeline: Several upcoming residential developments provide visibility into future assignments and long-term career stability.
• Dedicated Project Support: Superintendents are supported by experienced project management teams and additional field personnel rather than being expected to handle everything independently.
• Work-Life Balance: Leadership takes a practical approach to scheduling and field staffing, with an emphasis on avoiding unnecessary weekend work.
• Consistent Local Work: The company's portfolio is concentrated in the Greater Boston market, allowing field leaders to establish roots without relocating between projects.
• Clear Path to Advancement: Opportunity to progress into a General Superintendent or Field Operations leadership position as the company continues to grow.

This position is ideal for an accomplished Superintendent who enjoys leading substantial residential developments but wants a more personal, supportive environment than is typically found with larger national contractors.
