8d•$85,000 - $185,000

About The Position

The Superintendent leads field operations to deliver exceptional construction projects, overseeing self-performed and contracted work for compliance with contract documents, project schedules, safety requirements, and quality standards. The role plans and sequences work, manages jobsite logistics, materials, and personnel, and communicates project schedules and milestones to stakeholders. The Superintendent also mentors team members, builds strong stakeholder relationships, supports project cost and performance tracking, and contributes to project close-out activities. This is an active, hands-on role split between active construction sites and a typical office setting. Jobsite work involves variable weather, moderate to loud noise, elevated or confined areas, moving mechanical equipment, uneven terrain, and stairs, ladders, and hoists. The role requires frequent standing and movement, bending, kneeling, reaching, and lifting or carrying materials. It also includes desk work such as computer tasks, document review, and meetings. The position operates in a demanding, high-performance environment and requires flexibility to work extended hours, especially during critical project phases or client deadlines. The Superintendent may need to monitor and respond to communications outside regular working hours for time-sensitive matters or emergencies. A pre-employment drug fitness-for-duty screening and random quarterly screenings are required.
