At Miranda Construction, we build the best buildings, with the best people. Our reputation is rooted in disciplined field execution, collaborative partnerships, and an unwavering commitment to quality and safety on every project we deliver.

We are seeking an experienced Superintendent to join our team — a field leader who thrives on tight coordination, holds high standards, and can drive a project from groundbreaking to turnover with confidence and professionalism.

Role Purpose

The Superintendent serves as the on-site leader for Miranda Construction projects. You will be responsible for on-site coordination across all phases of construction — directing subcontractors, managing schedules, enforcing quality standards, and ensuring every project is completed safely, on time, and in full compliance with plans and specifications.

This is a hands‑on leadership role requiring flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to establish immediate control and organization on active industrial job sites.

• Career Growth: We invest in field leaders who produce results and want to grow within the organization

• Identify conflicts in construction progress and communicate them to the project team for timely resolution

• Issue notices of non‑compliance to subcontractors for deficient work, scheduling failures, or safety violations
• Ensure all identified deficiencies are corrected by the responsible subcontractor prior to proceeding
• Coordinate required inspections with local jurisdictions and applicable authorities
• Perform job progress punch lists and completion walkthroughs with thoroughness and accountability

Subcontractor Management & Communication

• Ensure each subcontractor is fully executing and complying with their contracted scope of work
• Identify subcontractor non‑compliance with safety, health, and environmental quality standards
• Communicate with the project team regarding ASIs, RFIs, and material submittals

• Conduct toolbox talks and safety meetings

Safety & Site Management

• Monitor and enforce Miranda Construction safety standards and OSHA compliance at all times
• Conduct toolbox talks, safety meetings, subcontractor coordination meetings, and jobsite audits regularly
• Ensure the job site is consistently kept clean, organized, and secure
• Open the job site at the start of each day; secure it at the end of the day
• Report and address potentially unsafe conditions immediately

Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain a daily report of all site activities, workforce levels, and notable events
• Gather and maintain project material submittals and records of approvals at the job site
• Communicate drawing and specification conflicts or deviations to the project team prior to execution

Secondary Responsibilities
