About The Position

The Assistant Superintendent coordinates field operations for assigned project areas and/or self-performed and subcontracted trades. The role ensures construction work follows the planned sequence and project schedule, and implements and enforces applicable safety and quality control procedures.

Flexibility to work extended hours during critical project phases or client deadlines is expected, and business needs may require responsiveness to communications outside regular working hours for time-sensitive matters or emergencies.
