About The Position

Novacom Building Partners is seeking a Site Superintendent for their Edmonton office.

• Competent in Procore (budget, schedule, RFIs, submittals, daily logs, observations, punch list).
• Working knowledge of Alberta OHS requirements, the Alberta Building Code, and commercial construction best practices.
• Willingness to work the back shift, including night and weekend work on compressed projects, and comfort being the senior person on site during that shift.
