Residential Construction Superintendent – San Clemente, CA

IJH Construction Inc. is seeking an experienced Residential Construction Superintendent to join our team and manage high-end residential remodels, additions, and custom luxury home projects throughout coastal Orange County.

We are a boutique general contractor focused on quality construction, strong client relationships, and well-managed projects. We are looking for someone who takes ownership of the jobsite, understands high-end residential construction, and can keep projects moving while maintaining a high standard of workmanship.

The Right Fit

We're looking for someone who understands that running a luxury residential project is about more than scheduling subcontractors. The right superintendent takes ownership of the project, knows what is happening in the field, catches problems early, maintains quality, and represents IJH Construction professionally with our clients and project partners.

This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys building, solving problems, and seeing a project through from demolition and framing to the final punch list.
