About The Position

The Area Superintendent (AS) supervises a specific area of a construction project and establishes and achieves project goals for field management, including schedule, budget, safety, quality, and personnel development. The AS typically oversees assigned field engineers who assist with safety compliance, craft supervision and production, trade partner coordination, scheduling, material handling, daily reports, quality control, and craft training. This is a safety-sensitive position. The role coordinates and plans field construction work, collaborates with trade partners, participates in project and schedule meetings, maintains the area's portion of the four-week schedule, and keeps accurate cost and production records. It also supports material-handling and site-utilization planning, coordinates material needs and RFIs with project and office engineers, verifies material deliveries, and oversees quality control and punch-list completion. The AS builds working relationships with the owner, architect, engineer, and trade partners, and assists BIM and VDC engineers with resolving issues so the submittal process stays on schedule. The position requires a four-year degree in civil or structural engineering, architecture, or construction management; 5–6 years of experience on large commercial construction projects; a valid driver’s license; strong communication skills; and familiarity with specified construction software, layout, and drawing interpretation. The work includes field and office activities, including computer and office-machine use, reading blueprints and verifying field measurements, and periodically walking, kneeling, sitting, crouching, reaching, stooping, pushing, pulling, lifting, and standing. It involves climbing ladders, stairs, scaffolding, and ramps, and occasional exposure to high and low temperatures, noisy environments, and outdoor weather.
