Construction Superintendent (Construction Site Manager/Supervisor) (61277)
About The Position
The Construction Superintendent is a field-based, hands-on leadership role responsible for overseeing all on-site construction activities across multiple retail locations. This position ensures projects are executed safely, on schedule, within budget, and in compliance with company standards and regulatory requirements. Unlike a Project Manager who focuses on planning and administrative coordination, the Superintendent serves as the primary on-site leader, managing daily field operations, subcontractors, and site logistics while reporting to the Project Manager or Construction Manager.

- Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management or related field (preferred but not required).
Responsibilities
- Supervise and direct all on-site construction activities, including coordinating subcontractors, trades, and labor crews.

- Enforce safety protocols, conduct regular site inspections, ensure compliance with OSHA standards, and maintain a safe working environment (including accident prevention and reporting).

- Resolve on-site issues, conflicts, or delays promptly (e.g., weather impacts, subcontractor performance, or unforeseen conditions).
- Document daily activities, progress reports, photos, and logs; communicate updates to project management.
- Train, mentor, and manage field personnel; address performance issues and promote teamwork.
- Oversee site security, temporary facilities, and environmental compliance (e.g., erosion control, waste management).
