Job description

Run the jobs that keep New York’s hospitals open.

A long-established, privately owned New York General Contractor and Construction Manager is growing its healthcare team and looking for a Superintendent to take full field ownership of healthcare projects valued in the tens of millions. This is a full-lifecycle builder, delivering everything from preconstruction and ground-up new build to complex fit-outs and renovations, for both public and private sector clients. Healthcare sits alongside a broad book of commercial, government, and infrastructure work, so the work is steady and the firm isn’t tied to any single market.

This is field leadership at the sharp end: building in live, occupied hospitals and care facilities where infection control, life safety, and phasing have to be managed to the letter, with zero disruption to the people being cared for around you. You’ll run your own jobs, set the standard on site, and have the backing of a dedicated PM and project team. This is a full-time, in-person, site-based role.

The projects you’ll run:

• Healthcare builds valued in the tens of millions
• Ground-up, gut rehab, and modification/renovation work
• Complex, heavily phased work around active and occupied facilities
• Projects where ICRA and ILSM controls are central to how the job runs

What the role looks like

• Run day-to-day site operations and coordinate all work trades from mobilization to turnover
• Own and enforce site safety, including healthcare-specific controls (ICRA, ILSM) on live sites
• Ensure all work complies with contract documents, drawings, and specifications
• Build and manage the project schedule and three-week look-aheads, including complex phasing around active facilities
• Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, and deliveries, and keep trades sequenced and moving
• Oversee quality control and manage DOB, FDNY, and agency inspections
• Maintain daily logs and site documentation in Procore
• Support cost control through accurate field reporting and change tracking
• Lead punch list, closeout, and a high-standard handover to the client

What we’re looking for

• 8+ years of superintendent experience on healthcare construction projects
• Extensive healthcare construction experience in occupied and active environments
• A mix of ground-up, gut rehab, and renovation/modification project experience
• Track record managing heavily phased work
• Projects in the tens of millions
• Strong knowledge of NYC DOB and FDNY codes, OSHA, and site safety requirements
• NYC SST card and OSHA 30; DOB registration
• Comfortable with Procore and digital daily logs
• Based in or commutable to NYC

Why this role stands out

• Meaningful work: you’re keeping care running while you build
• A diverse, deep pipeline across sectors, so there’s no downtime between jobs
• Tens-of-millions scope and full field ownership of your jobs
• A long-established, privately owned firm: real stability in an industry that doesn’t always offer it
• A genuine project-team model (PM, Super, and support), so you’re never carrying a job alone
• A real safety and quality culture, which in healthcare work is non-negotiable
• A clear path into Senior Superintendent and field leadership

What’s on offer

• Competitive base salary of $140,000 to $175,000+, plus bonus
• Safe Harbor 401(k) plan
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-paid disability and life insurance, plus voluntary life
• Paid time off and paid sick time
• Genuine professional development and career advancement
• A collaborative, dynamic team environment
