Job description

Run the jobs people actually see.

A well-established NYC General Contractor (nearly four decades in business, family-run, and still growing) is looking for a Superintendent to take full field ownership of its next wave of projects. The portfolio spans high-profile interiors across commercial, retail, hospitality, healthcare, and institutional work, with some ground-up too, though interiors are the core. This is a 100+ person GC/CM known for precision delivery and long-term repeat clients, with a steady, interior-focused pipeline.

The work is fast-moving, design-led interior construction, the kind of project where finish quality and sequencing actually matter, and where you’ll see your work featured, not buried behind a facade.

The projects you’ll run

• Corporate office fit-outs and full-floor renovations for name-brand tenants
• Retail flagship builds to exacting design and millwork standards
• Hospitality: restaurants, bars, and venues with tight sequencing and high finish demands
• Healthcare and institutional interiors requiring precision coordination
• Renovation and base-build work where interior coordination makes or breaks the schedule

What we’re looking for

• Experience running commercial interior fit-outs, tenant improvements, or high-spec renovations as a Superintendent
• A background with a GC, CM, or developer-side construction team in NYC
• Comfort with fast-track sequencing, MEP coordination, and finish-intensive delivery
• Working knowledge of NYC DOB requirements and inspections (DOB Superintendent License a plus, not a dealbreaker; they’ll support the right person through it)
• A field leader trades want to work for, someone who sets the standard and keeps a job moving without cutting corners

What the role looks like

• Own field operations from mobilization through final turnover
• Drive sequencing, logistics, safety, and quality on fast-moving interior projects
• Coordinate subcontractors, trades, vendors, and site personnel day to day
• Manage MEP rough-in, finishes, and commissioning against tight schedules
• Work directly with PMs, design teams, clients, and building management, so you’re never out of the loop
• Handle permits and DOB compliance without losing momentum
• Lead punch list, closeout, and handover to a consistently high standard

Why this role stands out

• Nearly four decades in NYC, family-run, and still growing: real stability in an industry that doesn’t always offer it
• A broad, steady pipeline across office, retail, hospitality, and healthcare (plus some ground-up), so there’s no downtime between projects
• A genuine project-team model (Account Exec, Estimator, PM, Assistant PM, and Super), so you’re never carrying a job alone
• A real safety and quality culture: weekly toolbox meetings, daily trade reviews, and daily quality checks built into how they work, not bolted on
• Modern field tools (Procore and digital daily logs), so less paperwork and more building
• Genuine on-site autonomy: this contractor trusts its Supers to run their jobs
• A real path into Senior Superintendent or project leadership as the company grows
