Full Job Description

Project Superintendent / Estimator – Elevation Home Builders

Elevation Home Builders is a custom home builder, remodeler, and design firm in Iowa City, founded in 2017. We build and remodel homes that look as good in person as they do in photos — and we're hiring an experienced Project Superintendent / Estimator to run our job sites and help bring new projects in the door.

This is a dual role with real ownership. On the build side, you'll run day-to-day job site coordination — scheduling subcontractors, quality control, inspections, safety, and keeping every project on schedule and on budget. On the estimating side, you'll meet with prospective remodel clients, create 2D designs alongside our in-house design team, and build the budgets that turn leads into signed projects. You'll report directly to leadership.

What You'll Do

Job Site Supervision

Run superintendent duties across multiple job sites at once (remodel and new construction)
Perform daily site visits to confirm trades and vendors are completing work correctly before they leave — heading off delays and added cost
Meet trades and vendors on site the day a job starts to set clear expectations
Keep every job site clean, orderly, and secure; lock up tools and equipment at the end of each day
Follow CSR/DNR water-runoff guidelines and complete SWPPP weekly reports when required
Complete daily logs with photos in Buildertrend
Make sure the job site information box (layouts, designs, appliance specs, supporting docs) is on site before trades start

Scheduling & Budget

Build, schedule, and update project timelines weekly (or more often) in Buildertrend
Schedule subcontractors and vendors to keep construction flowing and finishing on time
Notify designers and leadership of all changes, issues, and delays so homeowners get timely change orders
Work with designers and leadership to keep projects on budget; process all change orders through Buildertrend

Quality Control, Inspections & Safety

Perform quality-control checks on all work performed on site
Coordinate inspections with building officials and be on site for every inspection (building, sprinkler, fire, health & safety)
Apply a working knowledge of the International Building Code as adopted by local governing bodies
Keep every job site safe and compliant with OSHA standards

Permitting & Utilities

Pull building permits and manage energy audits, NPDES, and SWPPP
Update documents on city and government sites and upload permits into Buildertrend
Set up utility service for projects (sometimes more than one per job)

Purchasing & Inventory

Purchase materials for jobs, the office, and carpenters based on take-off sheets
Track orders and deliveries to keep projects on schedule; deliver purchased items to job sites
Log invoices into job cost, draw sheets, and QuickBooks, and keep the accountant informed

Estimating & Client Meetings

Meet with prospective remodel clients to review their projects and take detailed notes on their wishes
Procure the blueprints and measurements needed to create design work
Offer both construction and design feedback to clients
Coordinate with management on how best to be involved in each project — every client is unique
Oversee marketing and recommend new ways to attract additional clientele, sharing ideas with leadership at appropriate times

Design & Budgeting

Create 2D designs in consultation with the in-house interior design team that meet client needs, code, and efficiency
Build Phase 1 budgetary numbers for clients to review before deciding to move to Phase 2
In Phase 2, help obtain bids that reflect the actual finishes clients select; meet subs and vendors on site as needed
Build complete client folders in Buildertrend — profile, job cost, design work, portfolio, bids, and progress photos

Hands-On Support (as needed)

Recommend and assist in hiring subcontractors
Step in to keep projects on schedule when a sub is delayed — demolition, minor framing or carpentry, unloading material, cleaning, painting, power washing
Handle office work as time allows — schedules, bookkeeping, and organizing and printing files for trades

Job duties are subject to change by supervisor.

Qualifications

High school diploma or GED
5+ years of construction experience
Blueprint and site-plan reading proficiency
Working knowledge of the International Building Code and OSHA safety standards
Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel)
Strong client and trade communication — clear, professional, and calm under pressure
Highly detail-oriented and organized; able to run multiple job sites at once
Valid driver's license
Able to climb ladders and stairs and lift up to 75 lbs

Bonus Points For

Experience with Buildertrend or similar construction management software
Experience with QuickBooks and job costing
Estimating or budgeting experience on remodel projects
2D drafting or design experience
Familiarity with local permitting, SWPPP, NPDES, and energy-audit processes
Background in both new construction and remodeling

What We Offer

Competitive pay based on experience, with annual performance reviews and raises
Health insurance options
401(k) retirement match (1:1 on the first 1%, 50% on the next 5%)
Paid time off
Paid holidays
Direct access to leadership and room to grow with the company

Time Off & Holidays

Vacation

10 paid vacation days, accessible in advance on the 1st of each year (accrual rate of 6.67 hours per month)
For mid-year starts, vacation is based on the number of full months left in the calendar year × 6.67 hours
Vacation can only be used in the same calendar year
Vacation must be approved by management at least 24 hours prior to the requested date

8 Paid Holidays
