About The Position

The Assistant Superintendent coordinates field operations for specific areas and/or specific self-performed and subcontracted trades on a project. This role ensures construction work is completed according to the project’s planned sequence and schedule, and implements and enforces applicable safety and quality control procedures. The position is active and hands-on, with significant time spent on active construction sites and some time in an office. Employees must adapt to varying weather, moderate to loud noise, elevated or confined work areas, moving mechanical equipment, and the fast pace of a project in progress. The role is physically demanding and involves frequent time on one’s feet, navigating uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, and hoists; bending, kneeling, reaching; and frequently lifting and carrying up to 25 pounds and occasionally up to 50 pounds. It also involves desk work that may require prolonged sitting, as well as effective communication and visual acuity for reading plans and inspecting work. This is a demanding, high-performance environment. The role requires flexibility to work extended hours, especially during critical project phases or client deadlines, and responsiveness to communications outside regular working hours when business needs, time-sensitive matters, or emergencies require it. A pre-employment drug fitness-for-duty screening and random quarterly drug fitness-for-duty tests are required. The compensation package includes base salary, bonus potential, and benefits. The stated base salary range is $90,000–$175,000; compensation may vary based on factors including education, experience, skills, and geographic location.
