Superintendent
Purpose of the Role
The Superintendent is Barranco’s leadership presence in the field — the person who turns a plan on paper into clean, code-compliant, on-time work at the store. Across convenience-store and quick-service-restaurant sites nationwide, the Superintendent owns what happens on the ground: directing crews and subcontractors, safeguarding quality and safety, and keeping the customer’s operation running while our work gets done.
This role lives the Barranco standard of unrivaled reliability. When a Superintendent is on-site, the Project Manager, the client, and the crew all trust that the job will be run with ownership, clarity, and care — and that every detail is handled the way Barranco promised it would be.
Key Responsibilities
- Field Leadership & Execution
- Run the job — direct daily on-site operations across installation, remodel, and equipment-reset scopes, keeping work aligned to scope, schedule, and the approved plan.
- Lead the people — supervise and coordinate in-house crews and subcontractors, setting clear expectations and holding the standard for workmanship and pace.
- Own the details — read and interpret drawings, specifications, and equipment cut sheets, resolving field conditions before they become delays.
- Quality, Safety & Compliance
- Protect the site — enforce jobsite safety standards and a clean, organized work area at all times — no exceptions, no shortcuts.
- Guard the quality — verify that all work meets code, manufacturer specifications, and Barranco quality standards before it is called complete.
- Close it out right — conduct punch walks, document deficiencies, and drive them to closure so the client receives a finished, turnkey result.
- Coordination & Communication
- Be the face on-site — serve as Barranco’s on-site point of contact for store managers, client representatives, and inspectors — representing the company with professionalism and respect.
- Keep PMs informed — provide the Project Manager with timely daily reports, photos, progress updates, and early warning on anything that could affect schedule, budget, or the customer.
- Stay ahead of the work — confirm materials, equipment, and crews are staged and ready so field labor is never waiting on logistics.
- Project Stewardship
- Mind the numbers — track field labor, material usage, and change conditions accurately, protecting both the schedule and project margin.
- Think two steps ahead — anticipate sequencing needs and adjust crews and tasks to keep work moving through completion.
Candidate Profile
- 5–10 years of construction supervision experience, ideally in retail, c-store, QSR, restaurant, or food-and-beverage equipment environments.
- Hands-on knowledge of remodels, equipment installation, and the trades involved — enough to lead crews credibly and spot problems early.
- Able to read construction drawings, specifications, and equipment documentation with confidence.
- Strong leadership presence: sets a standard, earns respect, and keeps a crew focused and accountable.
- Calm and resourceful under pressure — solves field problems without losing the schedule or the relationship.
- Comfortable with extensive travel and multi-week deployments away from home.
- Working knowledge of jobsite safety requirements (OSHA 30 preferred); familiarity with field software such as Procore or mHelpDesk is a plus.
- Service-oriented and humble — willing to do whatever the job honestly requires, because no job is beneath us.
What Success Looks Like
- Projects delivered on time, on scope, and to Barranco quality standards — with a clean final punch.
- Zero recordable safety incidents and consistently organized, professional jobsites.
- Clients and store teams report minimal disruption to their operations during our work.
- Project Managers receive accurate, proactive field reporting they can rely on.
- Field crews and subcontractors are well-led, productive, and clear on expectations.
