Senior Project Superintendent

Rise Real Estate • Jacksonville, FL

3d • $130,000 - $175,000 • Onsite

About The Position

RISE is a vertically integrated real estate platform that develops, builds, and operates multifamily communities across growing markets. We construct assets we intend to own long-term, meaning field execution directly impacts operational performance, lease-up velocity, investor returns, and asset value for years after construction is complete. Our Superintendents are not paperwork managers; they are field operators entrusted with protecting execution at the highest level. This role is built for experienced field leaders who take pride in running disciplined, high-performing jobsites. The Lead Project Superintendent serves as the senior on-site construction authority responsible for driving all field operations from mobilization through certificate of occupancy. This role carries direct responsibility for schedule execution, trade partner accountability, jobsite safety, quality control, production sequencing, and field-level cost awareness. You will lead projects where speed, complexity, coordination, and accountability matter daily.

Requirements

• 12+ years of progressive field construction experience with minimum 5+ years as Lead Superintendent
• Proven track record delivering ground-up multifamily, mixed-use, institutional, or comparable large-scale projects in the $50M–$150M+ range
• Demonstrated success managing projects from site mobilization through certificate of occupancy
• Strong command of CPM scheduling, sequencing logic, manpower planning, and production recovery strategies
• Ability to independently lead large trade coordination efforts across complex vertical construction environments
• Expert-level understanding of construction documents, trade coordination, and field execution standards
• Proven ability to hold subcontractors accountable without losing control of the jobsite culture
• OSHA 30 certification required
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively based on project assignment needs

Nice To Haves

• OSHA 500 strongly preferred
• Experience within an integrated Owner / Developer / GC environment
• Multifamily podium, wrap, mid-rise, or structured parking experience
• Military / DoD construction exposure (NAVFAC / USACE / UFC standards)
• Experience mentoring and developing field teams on large-scale projects

Responsibilities

• Own and actively drive the master CPM schedule from groundbreaking through turnover.
• Identify critical path risks early and implement recovery plans before milestones are impacted.
• Maintain disciplined sequencing and manpower coordination across all trades.
• Run structured look-ahead planning meetings that produce measurable field execution outcomes.
• Enforce production accountability daily—not after delays occur.
• Hold subcontractors accountable to schedule, quality, manpower, and contractual scope requirements.
• Conduct preconstruction coordination meetings for all major scopes prior to field mobilization.
• Eliminate ambiguity between trades before conflicts impact production.
• Escalate non-performance immediately and drive corrective action without delay.
• Maintain jobsite discipline, organization, and operational flow across all phases of construction.
• Enforce project-specific quality standards at every phase of construction—not just punch walks.
• Lead preparatory inspections, pre-close inspections, and deficiency resolution processes.
• Ensure all field teams are building from current drawings, approved submittals, and updated RFIs.
• Proactively identify constructability and coordination issues before they become rework.
• Deliver projects aligned with long-term ownership standards—not minimum inspection thresholds.
• Serve as the primary safety authority on-site and enforce OSHA compliance without exception.
• Conduct daily safety inspections and immediately correct unsafe conditions.
• Lead toolbox talks, JHAs, and incident investigations.
• Stop work immediately when conditions present unacceptable risk.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and professionally managed project environment at all times.
• Represent the ownership and development platform professionally with inspectors, consultants, municipalities, and community stakeholders.
• Participate in OAC meetings and provide accurate field-driven updates to leadership.
• Coordinate jurisdictional inspections and maintain momentum toward CO milestones.
• Maintain strong communication flow between field operations and project management teams.
• Lead Assistant Superintendents and Project Engineers through direct mentorship and accountability.
• Develop field staff capable of operating at a higher level over time.
• Set the standard for professionalism, urgency, preparation, and execution on-site.

Benefits

• Base Salary: $130K–$175K DOE
• Performance-based bonus tied to delivery, safety, quality, and schedule outcomes
• Vehicle and travel allowances
• Health, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) participation
