Superintendent

Excerpt Lead it. Own it. Get it done. Our client is seeking an experienced Senior Construction Superintendent to lead large-scale, ground-up commercial construction projects ranging into the double-digit millions. This is an opportunity for a seasoned construction professional who knows how to take ownership of a project in the field and drive it from groundbreaking through successful completion. The ideal candidate understands what it takes to manage a major project from a General Contractor’s perspective—coordinating subcontractors and trades, maintaining schedule and quality, enforcing safety standards, anticipating challenges, and keeping the project moving while maintaining strong relationships with owners and project stakeholders. This is a highly visible role for a Superintendent who takes pride in getting the job done on time, safely, within budget, and to the owner’s expectations.

Preferred Experience

Ideal Background The strongest candidates will likely come from established General Contractors and have a track record of successfully delivering complex, ground-up projects in the $10M–$50M+ range. The company is open to candidates coming from a variety of commercial construction backgrounds. Industrial and manufacturing experience is particularly relevant, but strong Superintendents with backgrounds in healthcare, large commercial, institutional, distribution, or other complex construction environments will also be considered. Most importantly, this person needs to understand that being a Superintendent is about more than simply managing the jobsite. They need to be a leader, communicator, scheduler, problem-solver, and owner advocate who can anticipate what is coming next, hold people accountable, and keep the entire project moving toward successful completion.
