Superintendent

This role oversees day-to-day field operations for diverse commercial and industrial construction projects in the Capital Region. The Site Superintendent coordinates subcontractors, ensures high-quality workmanship, maintains project schedules, and serves as the primary on-site leader and point of contact.

Responsibilities

• Lead daily field operations on active construction sites, ensuring work progresses safely, efficiently, and according to project plans and specifications.
• Coordinate and manage subcontractors on site, including scheduling their activities, clarifying expectations, and ensuring they have the resources and information needed to complete their work.
• Maintain a strong on-site presence whenever subcontractors are working, actively monitoring progress, resolving issues, and keeping the project on track.
• Oversee quality control by reviewing work in place, determining whether it meets project standards, and directing corrections or changes as needed.
• Create, maintain, and update short-term schedules, including 3–4 week look-ahead schedules, to align field activities with overall project milestones.
• Run and facilitate on-site project meetings with subcontractors, internal project teams, and other stakeholders to communicate priorities, resolve conflicts, and maintain alignment.
• Collaborate closely with project managers and assistant project managers, providing timely updates on progress, issues, risks, and resource needs.

• Ensure compliance with safety policies and OSHA standards, promoting a strong safety culture and addressing unsafe behaviors or conditions immediately.
• Act as the on-site representative for the general contractor, serving as the primary point of contact for subcontractors, clients, and inspectors.
• Work collaboratively with skilled trades, including carpentry and masonry, to sequence work effectively and resolve technical or constructability challenges.
• Support and participate in design-build processes as needed by coordinating field activities with design intent and clarifications.
• Hold subcontractors accountable for performance, deadlines, and quality, taking a hands-on approach to problem-solving rather than relying on minimal oversight.
• Assist in managing general construction activities on multi-family, hospitality, manufacturing, and other commercial projects, ensuring alignment with project goals.
• Use basic computer skills to manage documentation, schedules, and communication through Procore and other tools.
• Support weekend or early-morning work when required, coordinating with project managers and assistant project managers to ensure adequate coverage.
• Contribute to a positive project culture by demonstrating leadership, clear communication, and a focus on delivering quality projects on time.
