Job description

Compensation: $80,000 to $110,000 + project-based performance bonuses

Why this role matters

This Superintendent is the steady hand that keeps commercial projects moving forward in the real world. You are the field leader from mobilization to closeout, coordinating trades, protecting the schedule, and addressing issues before they turn into delays. This role carries real responsibility and real authority — nothing moves forward in the field without your sign-off.

Who You Are

You don't wait for issues to surface — you're already addressing them. You walk every site with a plan in your head, the details in view, and the right call ready to make. You build momentum, and you protect it.

Field ownership

You own the jobsite. From day one to final turnover, you are accountable for:

• Schedule
• Quality
• Safety
• Trade coordination
• Day-to-day field execution

This role is built for Superintendents who want true ownership, not just responsibility.

What You'll Do

• Lead daily jobsite operations from mobilization through closeout
• Plan and manage sequencing, manpower, and weekly lookaheads
• Coordinate subcontractors, inspections, and material deliveries
• Maintain safety, cleanliness, and organization across the site
• Run daily huddles and weekly trade meetings with clear expectations
• Track milestones, progress, and field productivity
• Maintain accurate daily logs, photos, and documentation
• Communicate clearly with the project team and leadership — no surprises, no scrambling
• Identify risks, conflicts, and gaps early
• Manage urban logistics and tight-footprint conditions
• Ensure work is executed intentionally so time does not kill margin

Closeout

• Drive punch lists to completion — not delay
• Coordinate final inspections and certificates of occupancy
• Lead final trade walks and as-built coordination
• Deliver a professional, organized turnover to ownership

What You Bring

• 10+ years as a commercial Superintendent or field leader
• Experience with adaptive reuse, urban infill, or complex commercial projects
• Strong sequencing and field coordination skills
• Confidence managing tight sites, active environments, and multiple trades
• Familiarity with Procore, Buildertrend, or similar tools
• OSHA 30 (or willingness to complete)
• Professional presence on the jobsite and with partners

Traits that matter

• Schedule-driven — you know time kills margin
• Detail-oriented and organized
• Adaptable in fast-moving environments
• Solution-minded under pressure
• Prideful about craftsmanship and outcomes

How You Lead

• You're decisive and accountable
• You lead with respect, not volume
• You hold trades to high standards while protecting relationships
• Your jobsites feel different — because they are

What You're Building

• Urban infill sites
• Tight footprints with complex conditions
• Commercial environments that demand precision

Compensation, benefits, and growth

• Project-based performance bonuses
• Tools, technology, and travel covered
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan
• A clear path to Senior Superintendent or Construction Director
