Job Summary

The Construction Superintendent is responsible for the on-site planning, coordination, and execution of construction activities for multi-family, affordable housing, adaptive reuse, hospitality, commercial, and new construction projects. This role serves as the primary field leader, ensuring projects are completed safely, on schedule, within budget, and in strict compliance with contract documents, building codes, and company quality standards.

The Superintendent provides daily supervision of subcontractors, vendors, and field staff; coordinates inspections and material deliveries; enforces safety protocols; and maintains open communication with the Project Manager, ownership, design professionals, and inspectors. Success in this role requires strong leadership, technical construction knowledge, proactive problem-solving, and the ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

Project Execution & Site Management

Plan, coordinate, and supervise all on-site construction activities from mobilization through project closeout.
Ensure construction is executed in accordance with approved plans, specifications, schedules, and local codes.
Maintain full accountability for jobsite progress, sequencing, manpower planning, and daily production.
Open and secure jobsites daily and ensure appropriate site logistics, access, and security controls are maintained.
Walk the project daily, including all units and common areas, to monitor progress, identify conflicts, and plan upcoming work.

Scheduling & Coordination

Develop, maintain, and enforce detailed project schedules, identifying critical path activities.
Schedule and coordinate subcontractors, consultants, vendors, inspectors, and material deliveries to maintain workflow.
Lead pre-construction meetings, weekly subcontractor coordination meetings, and daily field briefings as required.
Identify schedule risks or delays and proactively communicate mitigation plans to the project team.

Quality Control

Establish and enforce jobsite quality control standards to ensure high-quality workmanship.
Inspect work in place to confirm compliance with plans, specifications, and contractual scope.
Identify deficient or non-conforming work and ensure timely correction by responsible parties.
Perform punch list creation, management, and verification of completion through project closeout.

Safety Management

Enforce all company safety policies and OSHA regulations at the job site.
Monitor site conditions to identify and correct unsafe behaviors or hazardous conditions.
Conduct safety meetings, toolbox talks, and incident reporting as required.
Ensure subcontractors comply with all health, safety, and environmental standards.

Documentation & Reporting

Maintain accurate daily logs documenting manpower, work activities, inspections, deliveries, weather conditions, and site issues.
Track and document subcontractor performance, productivity, and compliance.
Assist with RFIs, ASIs, material submittals, shop drawings, and field coordination as required.
Support Project Management with documentation needed for progress reporting and owner communication.

Team Leadership & Communication

Supervise subcontractors, vendors, assistant superintendents, and field personnel on a daily basis.
Provide clear direction, resolve field conflicts, and maintain productive working relationships.
Serve as the primary on-site liaison between ownership, inspectors, architects, engineers, and the project team.
Communicate constructability issues, design conflicts, and field conditions promptly for resolution prior to execution.

Cost & Resource Management

Monitor labor efficiency, material usage, and site operations to minimize waste and support budget adherence.
Assist Project Management with budgeting, subcontractor coordination, and scope of clarification.
Identify work outside of subcontracted scope and communicate promptly to the project team.
Support procurement planning, site mobilization, and equipment coordination.

Education & Experience

High school diploma or equivalent required; Associate’s or bachelor's degree in construction management, Engineering, or related field preferred.
Minimum 5–10 years of experience as a Construction Superintendent or equivalent field leadership role.
Proven experience in multi-family, rehabilitation, or complex commercial construction projects preferred.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple subcontractors and complex schedules concurrently.
Strong working knowledge of construction methods, sequencing, and building systems.

Licenses & Certifications

OSHA 30 (or equivalent safety certification) required or ability to obtain promptly.
Valid driver’s license with the ability to travel to assigned jobsites.
Additional trade certifications or supervisory training is a plus.

Skills & Competencies

Strong leadership and supervisory skills with the ability to direct diverse trade partners.
Excellent blueprint reading and construction document interpretation skills.
Effective verbal and written communication skills across all levels of project stakeholders.
Strong organizational, planning, and time-management abilities.
Ability to identify constructability issues, deficient work, and schedule conflicts.
Proficiency with basic construction technology (email, digital documentation, mobile devices, cameras).
High level of professionalism, accountability, and attention to detail.
Ability to work under pressure, adapt to change, and manage competing priorities.

Work Environment & Physical Demands

This is an on-site position with limited flexibility. The Construction Superintendent works primarily at active construction jobsites, both indoors and outdoors, and may be exposed to varying weather conditions, noise, dust, and other typical construction-related environments. This position requires regular on-site presence and interaction with project team members, subcontractors, and inspectors. The role requires the ability to stand, walk, climb stairs and ladders, and navigate uneven or elevated surfaces for extended periods. Physical demands may include lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling materials or equipment weighing up to approximately 50 pounds. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.
