Superintendent, Construction

About the Role

We are seeking a highly committed, hard-working leader with an extreme dedication to safety and a passion for superior quality. If you thrive managing construction processes in the field rather than in an office setting, this long-term career opportunity may be for you.

• Assist the project manager/engineer with duties such as coordinating material shipments, obtaining approvals for shop drawings, and managing subcontractor activities.
• Ensure subcontractors integrate effectively with project schedules and progress.
• Communicate construction schedule changes promptly to supervisors and subcontractors.
• Assist in preparing job progress and cost reports to reflect actual expenses accurately.
• Review and approve requisitions, field purchase orders, invoices, and other key documents.
• Maintain strong cooperation with owners and their representatives, keeping them informed of progress.
• Work amicably with architects or owner representatives while prioritizing the company’s long-term interests.
• Hold job site meetings with the project manager and regional manager.
• Report regularly to the project manager on progress, plans, and potential cost/schedule impacts.
• Maintain a daily diary to record significant project events, conditions, and decisions.
• Enforce the company’s safety program across all project phases and areas.
• Make decisions under tight deadlines and manage multiple activities to achieve desired results.
• Demonstrate leadership by addressing challenges, directing teams, and resolving conflicts effectively.
• Commit to quality by evaluating processes, incorporating customer feedback, and exceeding expectations.
• Act with integrity, supporting company values and maintaining a focus on customer requirements.

• Proficiency in Word, Excel, Outlook, and project scheduling programs.
• Experience using an iPad or similar tablet (highly preferred).
• Valid driver’s license in your state of residence.
• Ability to meet physical demands, including standing/walking for long periods (occasionally on uneven terrain), bending, kneeling, crouching, climbing stairs, and lifting up to 50 pounds.
