Description du poste

We are seeking an experienced Superintendent to lead field operations on K-12 and higher education projects across the Piedmont Triad. The Superintendent owns the day-to-day execution of the work: safety, schedule, quality, logistics, subcontractor performance, and a clean handoff to the owner. This role covers both ground-up new construction (schools, academic buildings, residence halls, student centers, athletic and support facilities) and upfit/renovation work in occupied or semi-occupied buildings, often under compressed summer and break-period schedules.

Reporting Structure

• Reports to: Director of Field Operations / Senior Superintendent
• Works alongside: Project Manager, Project Engineer, Preconstruction, Safety, and Quality staff
• Supervises: Assistant Superintendents, Field Engineers, Laborers/Carpenters, and coordinates all subcontractor field leadership

Project Types

Ground-up

• New elementary, middle, and high schools; additions and gymnasium/auditorium/CTE wings
• Higher education academic, lab, residence, dining, student life, and athletic buildings
• Site-intensive work: mass grading, erosion and sediment control, utilities, stormwater, paving, athletic fields
• Interior renovations and phased upfits in occupied schools and active campus buildings
• Classroom, lab, and library modernization; MEP/life-safety/envelope upgrades
• Summer-window and break-window turnarounds with hard owner-occupancy dates

Key Responsibilities

Safety and Compliance

• Lead and enforce the site-specific safety plan; conduct daily site walks, pre-task planning, and toolbox talks
• Maintain a safe separation of construction from students, faculty, staff, and visitors, including fencing, pedestrian routes, school drop-off/pickup patterns, and campus event traffic
• Ensure compliance with OSHA, NC building codes, NC Department of Insurance inspections, and applicable State Construction Office and local school-system requirements
• Investigate incidents and near misses; drive corrective actions to closure

Planning and Scheduling

• Contribute field input during preconstruction: constructability, phasing, sequencing, logistics, long-lead procurement, and summer-window feasibility
• Develop and maintain the baseline schedule and three-week look-aheads with subcontractors; update and recover as conditions change
• Plan phasing around academic calendars, testing windows, move-in/move-out, athletic events, and commencement
• Track critical path, long-lead deliveries, utility outages, and owner-furnished items

Field Execution

• Direct all trades on site; verify work is installed per drawings, specifications, and approved submittals
• Manage site logistics: laydown, crane and hoist plans, deliveries, access, parking, and temporary utilities
• Coordinate MEP, structural, envelope, and specialty systems (kitchens, labs, AV/technology, security, fire alarm, athletic surfaces)
• Manage multi-prime coordination where the delivery method requires it (including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and general trades under separate contracts), and be comfortable with CM at-Risk and design-bid-build

Quality Control

• Run the three-phase quality process: preparatory meetings, initial inspections, and follow-up inspections
• Lead mock-ups and first-in-place reviews, particularly for envelope, waterproofing, flooring, and finishes
• Own the field side of testing and special inspections, including soils, concrete, steel, fireproofing, and commissioning
• Maintain punch lists as you go, not just at the end

Subcontractor and Labor Management

• Hold subs accountable for manpower, schedule, quality, safety, and cleanliness
• Run weekly subcontractor coordination meetings and daily huddles
• Support compliance with HUB and local-participation goals on publicly funded work in coordination with the project team
• Verify pay applications and stored material against field-verified percent complete

Owner, Design Team, and Campus Relations

• Serve as the day-to-day face of the contractor for school principals, facilities directors, campus operations, and design teams
• Communicate proactively about noise, utility shutdowns, access changes, and schedule-sensitive activities
• Participate in OAC meetings, RFI and submittal turnaround, change-order pricing review, and field directives
• Maintain professionalism around minors, faculty, and the public, and comply with all site access and background check requirements

Closeout

• Drive substantial completion, certificate of occupancy, and final inspection milestones
• Coordinate commissioning, owner training, O&M manuals, attic stock, warranties, and as-builts
• Lead punch list completion and final cleaning ahead of occupancy dates, with first-day-of-school and first-day-of-semester as fixed deadlines

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of progressive field experience in commercial construction, with at least 4 years as a Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent
• Demonstrated experience on K-12 and/or higher education projects, with both ground-up and renovation/upfit work in the portfolio

• Valid driver’s license, ability to pass a background check and drug screen, and willingness to clear school and campus access requirements

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with occupied-building renovations, phased turnovers, and infection-control/dust and noise mitigation
• Experience with labs, performing arts, athletic facilities, dining, or residence halls
• Experience with State Construction Office projects, UNC System campuses, community colleges, or large local school districts
• Experience with CM at-Risk, multi-prime, and design-build delivery
• Familiarity with commissioning, building envelope performance testing, and sustainability or energy targets
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent field experience)
• Local knowledge of Triad subcontractors, suppliers, inspectors, and permitting offices
• Additional certifications such as CHST, SST, LEED Green Associate, or a competent-person credential

Core Competencies

• Leadership presence on site; sets the tone for safety and professionalism
• Problem solving under fixed completion dates
• Sound judgment on risk, especially around occupied spaces and minors
• Documentation habits: daily reports, photos, delay notices, and changes captured in real time

• Primarily on active job sites; exposure to weather, noise, dust, heights, and uneven terrain
• Ability to walk and inspect multi-story buildings and large sites daily, climb stairs and ladders, and lift up to 50 lbs
• Regular early starts; periodic extended hours and weekend or night work during summer turnarounds, utility cutovers, and closeout
