General Superintendent Job Description

Job Specifications

The General Superintendent serves as the operational command center for our framing and drywall division. Unlike a GC Superintendent who oversees the entire vertical scope of a project, this role demands deep specialization in framing, drywall, and taping—with a laser focus on production, precision, field coordination, and profitability across multiple active projects. This is a high-impact, field-centric leadership role balancing hands-on oversight with strategic planning across crews, materials, schedules, and safety compliance.

Candidate should have experience managing production, precision, and profit across multiple construction job sites. Carpentry experience, jobsite management, is desired. Industry-specific certification(s) and regional experience also desired.

The (Rough Carpentry) General Superintendent responsibilities are as follows:

Multi‑Site Production Leadership Oversee the framing progress across multiple job sites simultaneously, ensuring alignment with schedule, quality targets, and contractual requirements.
Schedule Adherence: Ensure framing milestones are achieved to avoid delays to mechanical, electrical, and other downstream trades.
Labor Allocation: Strategically direct and reassign foremen, framing crews, and specialized teams to maintain momentum on critical-path activities.
Quality Control: Conduct routine inspections on cold‑formed steel installation, including shear assemblies, fastening patterns, clip angles, headers, and hardware placement to ensure work passes structural and municipal inspections on the first cycle.
Logistics & Material Planning In cold‑formed steel framing, production is driven by precise coordination of factory-fabricated materials, connectors, and equipment.
Take-Off Verification: Review material deliveries against shop drawings and engineered plans; proactively identify shortages, mis‑fabrications, or delivery gaps to prevent production downtime.
Equipment Coordination: Manage hoists, lifts, and scaffolding to ensure safe and efficient installation of wall panels, trusses, joists, and other CFS assemblies.
Material Flow Planning: Oversee staging, sequencing, and onsite distribution of studs, track, structural members, hold‑downs, and related hardware to maintain uninterrupted workflow.
Technical Expertise & Safety Leadership
Plan & Drawing Interpretation: Resolve conflicts between architectural designs, structural engineering, and shop drawings. Lead issue resolution by coordinating RFIs and clarifying discrepancies before they impact schedule.
Safety Compliance: Enforce OSHA standards and company safety policies during one of the highest-risk phases of commercial construction. Ensure use of proper fall protection systems, guardrails, and personal protective equipment.
Technical Guidance: Provide mentorship and training on framing systems, including proper fastening, bracing, shear walls, anchorage requirements.

Ideal Candidate Profile

Experience
10+ years of experience in cold‑formed or rough carpentry/framing (steel preferred), production drywall, and taping.
Minimum 3 years in a supervisory or field management role overseeing multiple crews.
Technical Proficiency
Strong competency with PlanGrid, Procore, Bluebeam, or similar platforms for plan review, RFI management, and field documentation.
Soft Skills - Ability to communicate effectively with both field personnel and GC/Owner representatives. - Demonstrated strength in conflict resolution, scheduling negotiation, and maintaining productive relationships across all project stakeholders.
Knowledge Requirements- Framing knowledge (interiors and heavy gauge framing), Layout, Interior doors and hardware, Ceilings, Production Drywall, Taping, and some painting.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Your success will be measured by:
Budget Variance Control: Adherence to estimated materials usage for cold‑formed steel, connectors, and hardware.
Labor Efficiency: Meeting or exceeding targeted man-hour-per-square-foot production benchmarks.
Safety Performance: Maintaining a zero–lost-time incident record across all managed job sites.
Crew Development & Recruitment: Ability to attract, train, and retain high-performing framing teams. In today’s market, a well-connected General Superintendent is essential to securing reliable, skilled labor.
