Job description

Location: Southeast Michigan (local work, minimal travel)

Employment Type: Full-Time

Compensation: $85-115k plus vehicle and phone allowance

We are partnered with design-build general contractor in Southeast Michigan to hire a Superintendent for ground-up commercial construction. The company has delivered design, development, and construction services in the region for more than 20 years, including projects it develops for itself.

This Superintendent will lead field operations from site mobilization through final turnover. You will typically run one project at a time, working in close partnership with the Project Manager and reporting to the Construction Services Manager.

Ground-up commercial experience is required. This role is built for a Superintendent who has taken commercial buildings from sitework all-the-way to turnover, not tenant improvements or renovations alone.

What You’ll Do

• Lead all on-site activities on ground-up commercial projects, from sitework and foundations through vertical construction, closeout, and turnover
• Build and maintain the overall project schedule, drive daily production, and control the critical path
• Run and update the 3-week look-ahead schedule with subcontractors
• Plan site logistics, sequencing, and manpower
• Anticipate and resolve constructability, coordination, and schedule issues before they reach the field
• Direct subcontractors to meet schedule, quality, and safety expectations, and lead coordination meetings
• Lead jobsite safety with consistent expectations and enforcement
• Oversee quality control and corrective actions, and keep a clean, organized jobsite
• Coordinate inspections with municipal officials and third-party agencies
• Build strong relationships with owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and consultants
• Document daily progress, photos, issues, and as-built conditions in Microsoft Teams
• Partner with the Project Manager on issue resolution and closeout
• Mentor and train Assistant Superintendents and field staff when assigned

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of construction field experience, including time as a Superintendent on ground-up commercial projects
• A proven record of delivering ground-up commercial buildings from sitework through turnover
• Strong knowledge of construction means and methods, sitework, and building sequencing
• Demonstrated ability to lead field teams and manage schedules
• Proficiency in MS Project scheduling
• Comfort documenting daily work in Microsoft Teams
• OSHA 30 (required)
• Certified Storm Water Management Operator (required)

The right person leads through planning and foresight, communicates clearly and directly, and takes full ownership of outcomes. They put the project first, solve problems instead of passing them along, and act with honesty and respect.

Why This Role

• Stay local. Build in Southeast Michigan instead of traveling out of state.
• Focus on one job. Run one project at a time (two only if they are small), so you can build it right.
• Direct access to ownership. A small, talented team with no layers of bureaucracy and no-nonsense administration.
• Build for the owner, too. Work on the company's own development projects, where it is its own client.
• Strong benefits. Employer-sponsored health care, vehicle and phone allowance, and flexible vacation.
