About PEAK

At PEAK Construction Corporation, we do more than build facilities — we build value, trust, long-term partnerships, and a culture where people come first. Headquartered in Rosemont, IL, with regional offices in East Windsor, NJ and Charleston–St. George, SC, we’re a national design-build leader trusted across the industry and country. We take pride in delivering excellence often beginning with land development and site analysis across Industrial, Freezer/Cooler, Hospitality, Healthcare, Commercial, and Specialty markets — but what truly sets us apart is our people. Our mantra is simple: Do The Right Thing. That commitment extends to how we treat clients, partners, and especially our team. We’re looking for a forward-thinking Project Superintendent I to carry out that mission even further.

About Your Role With PEAK

Additionally, you will take ownership of the field portion of the project budget, carefully managing costs and making strategic financial decisions. With a strong focus on scheduling, you will develop and utilize detailed scheduling skills to track progress on a weekly—if not daily—basis. Expanding your technical proficiency, you will enhance your computer skills and understanding of PEAK software to optimize workflow and project execution. Through your leadership, commitment to safety, and focus on operational excellence, you will drive the success of PEAK’s project team and ensure high-performance project outcomes.
