Finishes Superintendent — Where Craft Meets Command
Reno, NV | Full-Time | $150,000 – $200,000 DOE
The Opportunity
Anyone can hang drywall. Delivering flawless finishes across a $20M+ commercial project — on schedule, with a dozen specialty subs running concurrently — takes a leader. Our client, a top-tier general contractor with four decades of building across Nevada and the Mountain West, is hiring a Finishes Superintendent to own the complete finish-out: framing rough-in through plaster, paint, ceilings, flooring, millwork, and final punch — plus shell scope including building envelope and weatherproofing. This is a highly visible field leadership seat where your standards become the building's finish quality.
