About The Position

Jackson’s Realty & Builders (JRB), the construction division of Turtle Creek Management (TCM), is seeking an experienced, hands-on Field Superintendent to lead ground-up and renovation construction projects in Indianapolis and surrounding communities. Periodic travel within Indiana may be required based on project needs. The role is suited to a superintendent with strong wood-frame construction experience who can lead field operations on predominantly single-story, and occasionally two-story, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, senior living, and related healthcare projects.

The superintendent is the day-to-day field leader responsible for safely delivering high-quality projects on schedule. This includes coordinating trades, driving accountability, and resolving problems before they affect budget, schedule, quality, or facility operations. The position oversees work from mobilization through final completion and coordinates closely with project managers, company leadership, subcontractors, vendors, inspectors, utility providers, consultants, ownership teams, facility personnel, and local authorities.

TCM is a second-generation, family-owned company founded in 1962. Through JRB, it provides development, construction management, design-build, and general contracting services across senior living, healthcare, multifamily, self-storage, commercial projects, and related site infrastructure. The company emphasizes integrity, quality craftsmanship, accountability, teamwork, and long-term relationships, and often builds facilities for companies within its own organization.

Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience, qualifications, leadership ability, and the value brought to the role. JRB offers health insurance benefits, a 401(k) retirement plan, paid time off, a performance-based bonus opportunity, continuing education, and potential for long-term growth within the organization.
