About The Position

The Terrazzo Superintendent is responsible for daily field oversight and successful execution of Bonitz terrazzo projects, ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and in accordance with project plans, specifications, manufacturer requirements, and National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association (NTMA) guidelines. Bonitz terrazzo scopes include epoxy and cementitious poured-in-place terrazzo, precast terrazzo, floor and wall applications, custom logos and designs, and restoration of existing terrazzo in commercial, institutional, and residential buildings. This role directs terrazzo installation subcontractors on site and owns field execution, site sequencing, productivity, safety, and field quality while maintaining relationships with general contractors, customers, vendors, and internal teams. The Superintendent works as a parallel and equal partner to the Project Manager: the Superintendent leads field execution while the Project Manager owns budget, contracts, and change orders. Together, they manage schedule, risk, and customer communication. The Superintendent verifies substrate readiness, coordinates mockups and sample approvals, oversees installation from divider strip layout through grinding, polishing, and sealing, enforces safety requirements, maintains daily project documentation, and drives punch-list completion and turnover. The role requires strong leadership, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, working knowledge of terrazzo systems, and significant experience leading large construction projects. Bonitz, Inc., founded in 1954, is an employee-owned specialty trade commercial contractor serving the construction industry. The company designs and installs custom flooring, walls, ceilings, and cladding systems, and offers access, terrazzo and other specialty flooring, as well as floor care. Bonitz has divisions in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Louisiana, and Florida, and is an active member of the NTMA and the Terrazzo Promotion Committee of the Southeast.
