Our work spans custom residential construction, renovations and home projects, commercial construction, architectural design and drafting, and interior design. We specialize in complex, highly customized projects where thoughtful planning, clear communication, disciplined execution, and close attention to detail matter. We are a hands-on company. Our Project Managers, Superintendents, designers, trade partners, and leadership team work closely together from the early planning stages through final closeout.

We want clients to feel informed and cared for, trade partners to understand what is expected, and our teammates to be proud of the work we deliver.POSITION OVERVIEW
The Project Superintendent is VPC Builders' day-to-day leader on the jobsite. This person is responsible for field safety, short and long term planning, trade coordination, quality control, site organization, inspections, daily documentation, and the steady execution of the project schedule. The Superintendent works in close partnership with the Project Manager and serves as the primary field connection among trade partners, vendors, inspectors, design professionals, and clients visiting the site. The strongest candidate will see what is coming, prepare the site and team for it, and address small issues before they become expensive problems.KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Maintain a safe jobsite and enforce company and OSHA safety requirements. Conduct required safety communication, correct hazards promptly, and model professional field practices. Maintain a reliable short-term look-ahead plan. Confirm trade partners, labor, inspections, deliveries, equipment, information, and site readiness before work is scheduled to begin. Direct subcontractors and vendors on site, confirm scope and sequence, resolve field conflicts, and hold trade partners accountable for quality, schedule, safety, and cleanup. Review drawings and specifications and inspect work in progress. Protect completed work, use applicable quality-control checklists, and correct deficiencies before they are covered or carried forward.

Keep the jobsite clean, secure, organized, and presentable. Manage site access, deliveries, temporary protection, material storage, tools, and the removal or return of excess materials. Drive punch-list completion, verify corrective work, remove temporary materials and tools, and support final inspections.
