Project Superintendent I | Construction

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.
