The ideal candidate will run jobs independently from mobilization through closeout, coordinating multiple subcontractors and trades so work is completed safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. This role calls for someone with strong field leadership, a solid command of construction documents and processes such as submittals and RFIs, and the confidence to make sound decisions in the field without constant oversight. As the company's primary on-site representative, the Superintendent will work closely with Project Managers, owners, architects, engineers, and inspectors to deliver successful projects and maintain strong client relationships. Duties Serve as the lead on-site authority, independently managing daily jobsite operations from preconstruction and mobilization through substantial completion, punch list, and closeout. Coordinate and sequence the work of all subcontractors and trades, including sitework, concrete, structural steel, framing, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), fire protection, roofing, and finishes, to prevent conflicts and keep work moving efficiently. Develop, maintain, and update the project schedule in collaboration with the Project Manager, including three-week look-ahead schedules, and proactively identify and resolve potential delays. Lead weekly subcontractor coordination meetings, pre-installation meetings, and preconstruction conferences; document action items and follow through to resolution. Review drawings, specifications, and approved submittals and shop drawings to ensure field installation matches approved materials, products, and methods. Identify discrepancies, conflicts, and design gaps in the field; prepare and initiate RFIs with clear descriptions and supporting documentation, and track responses to keep work from stalling. Assist the Project Manager with the submittal process by tracking long-lead items, verifying field conditions, and confirming that required approvals are in place before work begins. Identify potential changes in scope, document field conditions, and support the change order process with accurate information on time, materials, and impacts. Enforce jobsite safety programs and OSHA regulations; conduct toolbox talks, site safety inspections, and orientations, and ensure all subcontractors comply with company and site-specific safety plans. Manage quality control by inspecting work in progress, verifying compliance with plans and specifications, and ensuring deficiencies are corrected promptly. Schedule and coordinate municipal, third-party, and special inspections, and maintain relationships with building officials and inspectors. Plan and manage site logistics, including material deliveries, laydown areas, equipment, temporary facilities, site access, and protection of adjacent property. Maintain thorough project documentation, including daily reports, manpower logs, progress photos, meeting minutes, incident reports, and as-built markups. Communicate regularly with the Project Manager, owner representatives, and design team on progress, issues, and upcoming milestones. Lead the punch list, commissioning coordination, and closeout process, including warranties, O&M manuals, attic stock, and as-built documentation. Qualifications 10+ years of commercial construction experience, including at least 5 years as a Superintendent with a general contractor. Proven ability to manage projects independently from start to finish with minimal supervision. Extensive experience coordinating and sequencing multiple trades and subcontractors on active jobsites. Strong working knowledge of the submittal and shop drawing process, RFIs, change orders, and construction document control. Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, civil, and MEP drawings and specifications, and to identify conflicts before they become field problems. Solid understanding of building codes, inspection processes, and construction means and methods. OSHA 30 certification required; First Aid/CPR certification preferred. Demonstrated commitment to a strong jobsite safety culture. Experience building and maintaining construction schedules; familiarity with scheduling software such as Microsoft Project or Primavera P6 is a plus. Proficiency with construction management software such as Procore, as well as Microsoft Office Suite, for reporting and documentation. Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills, with the judgment to resolve field issues quickly and appropriately. Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to hold subcontractors accountable while maintaining productive working relationships.
