Position Overview: 

We are looking for an experienced, proactive, and accountable Construction Superintendent who takes full ownership of their projects—from mobilization through closeout. This role is for someone who treats every project as if it were their own business. You will lead and manage complex construction efforts across commercial, healthcare, and industrial sectors, ensuring all aspects are delivered on time, within budget, safely, and to the highest standards of quality and professionalism. 

You are not just running a job—you are setting the tone, solving problems, leading by example, and driving results in the field. The ideal candidate will have deep construction knowledge, hands-on leadership skills, and the mindset of continuous improvement. If you don’t just want to “get through” a job—but instead want to master it, grow your scope, and lead with purpose—this role is for you. 

Key Responsibilities: 

Project Ownership & Execution 

• Lead the full project on the ground from start to punch list—this is your job, own it. 

• Understand the scope inside and out—know the job better than anyone else before it starts. 

• Maintain and drive detailed construction schedules and lookaheads; proactively address risks and bottlenecks. 

• Focus your time where it matters—on the most complex, high-impact aspects of the project. 

Field Leadership & Site Management 

• Be fully present—hands-on, accountable, and visible on-site. 

• Supervise daily construction activities, ensuring safe, clean, and organized jobsites at all times. 

• Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, and crews—run weekly trade meetings, preinstall coordination, and manage execution in the field. 

• Set a standard of “bias for action”—urgency around schedule, quality, and safety. 

• Lead QC efforts continuously, not just at project closeout. 

Client & Team Communication 

• Serve as the main point of contact for clients, inspectors, and consultants—professional, polished, and reliable. 

• Build strong relationships with trades and internal teams—earn trust through action and respect. 

• Ensure clients can walk the site confidently, even if you're the only one there—you represent the team. 

Cost Awareness & Accountability 

• Mind your business—manage what you can control: rentals, temp labor, logistics, etc. 

• Support the PM in cost tracking, scope clarification, and managing project changes. 

• Solve small cost issues early before they become big problems later. 

Closeout & Reputation 

• Finish strong—the last 10% of a project is what everyone remembers. 

• Drive completion with urgency and attention to detail. 

• Own the perception—firm but fair, professional but assertive. 

Soft Skills & Traits: 

• Extreme Ownership – You’re accountable for everything on your project. 

• Leadership – You set the tone for safety, quality, and culture on site. 

• Communication – You’re the “communication station,” ensuring clarity from field to office. 

• Problem Solving & Critical Thinking – You apply common sense to complex problems. 

• Organization & Time Management – You protect your time for deep thinking and urgent tasks. 

• Professionalism & Emotional Intelligence – You show up with confidence, humility, and control. 

• Conflict Resolution & Decisiveness – You make the call when others hesitate. 

• Humility & Growth Mindset – You’re always learning; you’d rather be wrong today than forever. 

Hard Skills & Technical Knowledge: 

• Proficient in reading and interpreting all construction plans, submittals, and scopes of work. 

• Strong understanding of construction methods, materials, building codes, and inspections. 

• Expert in managing schedules and lookaheads (MS Project, Primavera, etc.). 

• Knowledge of OSHA standards and jobsite safety best practices. 

• Experienced with quality control processes, inspections, and proactive conflict resolution. 

Qualifications: 

• 4+ years of Superintendent experience in commercial construction. 

• Experience across healthcare, industrial, and complex commercial projects preferred. 

• OSHA 30 certification (or willingness to obtain). 

• Track record of delivering projects safely, on time, and within budget. 

• Strong references and examples of project leadership and ownership. 

What You’ll Get: 

• The chance to lead real, complex projects—not just check boxes. 

• A team that values your ideas, initiative, and impact. 

• The opportunity to expand your scope of work and become a true subject matter expert.
