WORKING SITE SUPERINTENDENT

Lead the Site. Build Great Work. Be Home.

RG Cowan Design Build | Grand Junction, Colorado

Are you an experienced Superintendent, Foreman, or Lead Carpenter who is tired of living out of a suitcase?

If you've spent years traveling for construction, working long rotations, staying in hotels, and missing time at home, this may be the opportunity you've been looking for.

RG Cowan Design Build is hiring a Working Site Superintendent to lead high-quality residential construction projects in the Grand Junction / Western Colorado area.

This is a hands-on field leadership role for someone who knows how to run a jobsite, coordinate people and trades, solve problems, maintain quality, and still enjoys working with tools when the site is under control.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Day-to-day jobsite leadership and field execution
• 14-day field planning and readiness
• Labor, material, equipment, and trade coordination
• Short-term schedule execution
• Site safety, security, cleanliness, and professionalism
• First-line quality control
• Daily logs, progress photos, and field communication
• Coordination of subcontractors and RGC field personnel
• Early identification of schedule risks, field conflicts, and required decisions
• Hands-on carpentry and construction work when management responsibilities allow

Your job is not just to be productive with tools. Your job is to make the entire jobsite productive.

HOW RGC SUPPORTS YOU

You are not expected to manage every aspect of the project alone.

Project Manager: Scope, Schedule, Budget, long-range planning, trade selection, and client management

Assistant Project Manager: Documentation, workflow, procurement, inspections, reporting, and project information

WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 7+ years of construction experience preferred
• Strong residential carpentry and general construction knowledge
• Superintendent, Foreman, or Lead Carpenter experience
• Ability to read architectural and structural plans
• Experience coordinating employees and subcontractors
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing
• Strong planning, organization, and problem-solving skills
• Professional communication with clients and trade partners
• Comfort using mobile technology for schedules, photos, daily logs, and project communication
• Commitment to safety, craftsmanship, and high-quality work

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

A successful Working Site Superintendent creates a jobsite where:

• Everyone knows the plan
• Labor, materials, and equipment are ready
• Trades are coordinated
• Quality problems are caught early
• The site is safe, clean, and organized
• The client experiences professionalism
• Problems are communicated before they become emergencies
• The schedule moves forward predictably

READY TO GET OFF THE ROAD?

Bring the leadership and construction experience you've developed traveling from project to project and put it to work closer to home.
