Superintendent – Commercial Low Slope

About the role

The Superintendent is the senior field leadership presence across multiple active low slope jobsites. This role bridges office-side project management and field execution. You are directly accountable for field crew performance - safety, production pace, installation quality, and crew development - across every job in your assigned portfolio.

Responsibilities

• Visit every active job on your assigned list a minimum of 2x per week; high-risk or underperforming jobs get daily presence
• Verify foremen are executing daily: JSA completed, crew briefed, production goals set, quality standards met
• Conduct unannounced field audits on safety compliance, housekeeping, material staging, and work quality
• Own crew productivity across your jobs: monitor labor hours vs. budget and identify underperforming crews
• Serve as the primary field escalation point for foremen
• Ensure watertight conditions and property protection standards are maintained on every job, every day
• Enforce AR&M and OSHA safety standards with zero tolerance for non-compliance
• Conduct weekly safety inspections across assigned jobs; document findings and track corrective actions
• Ensure all incidents and near-misses are reported to Safety same-day
• Remove any crew member from a jobsite who refuses to comply with safety protocols - no exceptions
• Conduct a quality inspection on every job visit; verify workmanship meets manufacturer specs, AR&M standards, and approved shop drawings before crews move to the next phase
• Perform focused inspections at critical installation milestones: substrate prep, membrane attachment, flashing and detail work, and final punch
• Document deficiencies with photos and written notes; communicate same-day to foreman for correction and to PM for tracking
• Identify and document rework events; report frequency and root cause to the Division Head
• Support PMs in punch list prevention - catching deficiencies during production, not at closeout
• Evaluate foreman performance continuously: production leadership, crew management, safety discipline, communication
• Coach foremen on planning, crew deployment, and field decision-making
• Identify and develop right-hand men as future foremen; recommend promotions when ready
• Document and report persistent underperformance to the Division Head
• Recognize strong field performance - morale and retention are part of this job
• Coordinate with PMs on crew scheduling, job sequencing, and resource allocation
• Verify material deliveries on-site when the PM is not present: check quantities and condition against PO and delivery ticket; communicate confirmation or discrepancies same-day
• Identify equipment, material, and manpower needs in advance; flag shortages before they cost production days
• Facilitate crew moves between jobs when priorities shift
• Attend WAR Room kickoff meetings for all assigned jobs
• Provide daily field updates to the Division Head and PMs: production, crew issues, safety, quality
• Maintain a weekly report on assigned jobs: jobs visited, issues found, corrective actions, crew performance notes
• Escalate systemic issues with data and recommendations
• Participate in weekly L10 / production meetings with field performance data

Qualifications

• 7+ years of commercial roofing field experience, with a minimum of 3 years leading crews as a foreman, lead foreman, or superintendent

• OSHA 30 certification (or ability to obtain within 60 days of hire)
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple crews and job sites concurrently

• Comfortable using smartphones, tablets, and cloud-based field tools (time entry, scheduling, daily reports, photo documentation)
• Valid driver's license and clean driving record
• Able to climb ladders, work at heights, lift 50+ lbs, and perform the physical demands of a commercial roofing environment

Preferred

• Bilingual English / Spanish
• Prior experience working as a subcontractor to major GCs
• Experience on bonded public work, healthcare, or education projects
