Company TEG Design Build, LLC
About TEG Design Build
TEG Design Build is the construction division of The Eminence Group, a vertically integrated real estate development, construction, property management, and hospitality platform based in Newark, New Jersey.
Our work includes ground-up multifamily construction, affordable housing, adaptive reuse, historic rehabilitation, mixed-use development, commercial construction, and occupied renovations.
We operate with a lean team and expect leaders to understand the entire project, work directly with the field, and personally drive results. Our subcontractor base includes both established firms and smaller trades that often require more hands-on coordination with schedules, documentation, procurement, billing, logistics, and manpower planning.
Position Summary
TEG Design Build is seeking an experienced Site Superintendent to lead daily field operations on multifamily and mixed-use construction projects. We need a true field operator who continuously walks the building, understands every active scope, anticipates constraints, directs subcontractors, protects safety and quality, and keeps the project moving.
The Superintendent will be responsible for site safety, manpower, sequencing, quality control, inspections, logistics, utilities, deliveries, field documentation, short-interval planning, and daily execution. The successful candidate must be comfortable managing both established subcontractors and smaller trades that require direct guidance, operational support, and close follow-through.
Key Responsibilities
Field Leadership and Daily Operations
- Lead and supervise daily construction activities for assigned subcontractors, work areas, and project phases.
- Perform daily site walk-throughs and maintain direct knowledge of manpower, production, safety, quality, deliveries, inspections, and constraints.
- Provide clear daily direction to subcontractors and field personnel and proactively address coordination, productivity, and operational concerns.
- Coordinate field efforts between trades to support timely completion in strict accordance with contract documents, project standards, and safety requirements.
- Be a visible resource who guides, motivates, and assists subcontractors to achieve maximum safe production.
- Effectively communicate relevant project information, risks, progress, and required decisions to the Project Manager and construction leadership.
Plans, Scopes and Constructability
- Review all design documents and develop a working understanding of every assigned trade scope and project requirement.
- Become proficient in architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire-protection, envelope, and finish requirements necessary to execute the project to a high-quality standard.
- Coordinate implementation of design directives, RFIs, approved submittals, shop drawings, and field work orders within assigned areas.
- Generate RFIs based on field conditions and subcontractor requests; present them to the Project Engineer or Project Manager and support timely resolution.
- Assist in resolving field conflicts, layout issues, constructability concerns, and trade interfaces before they affect production.
- Assist with control points, layout verification, and field-engineering coordination to ensure installation accuracy.
Scheduling, Manpower and Logistics
- Maintain strong working knowledge of the project schedule, milestones, critical path, sequencing requirements, and procurement dependencies.
- Develop and maintain short-interval and two-week look-ahead schedules for assigned areas, including manpower and progress tracking.
- Coordinate manpower, work areas, access, staging, tools, equipment, consumables, and incidental field needs required for assigned scopes.
- Manage and facilitate delivery, unloading, inspection, staging, protection, and distribution of building materials.
- Monitor and track site deliveries and verify materials are available before labor is scheduled.
- Develop or support recovery plans when subcontractor manpower, production, procurement, or approvals fall behind.
Materials and Procurement Support
- Verify materials, equipment, accessories, and installation methods comply with approved submittals, shop drawings, specifications, and contract documents.
- Coordinate owner-purchased and directly sourced materials, including lumber, framing materials, LVT, tile, cabinetry, countertops, plumbing fixtures, doors, hardware, lighting, and appliances.
- Confirm labor-only subcontractors have the correct materials, fasteners, accessories, tools, layout, and installation information.
- Prevent gaps between suppliers and installers and report quantity, quality, damage, storage, or compatibility concerns immediately.
- Assist the project-management team with submittal and shop-drawing tracking, with particular focus on long-lead procurement and schedule dependencies.
Safety and Quality Control
- Monitor and enforce project safety requirements, housekeeping, access control, temporary protection, fire protection, and site security.
- Identify hazardous conditions that may cause injury or property damage and take immediate corrective action consistent with company standards.
- Coordinate with site safety personnel and subcontractor safety teams to ensure consistent implementation of project requirements.
- Perform first-work inspections, mock-up reviews, in-progress quality checks, and punch inspections rather than relying only on final punch lists.
- Verify field readiness before work begins, including required permits, approved documents, insurance/compliance status, access, preceding work, and inspection requirements.
- Promote a collaborative and respectful jobsite culture through proactive communication, accountability, and support of trade partners.
Inspections, Utilities and Documentation
- Coordinate jurisdictional authority visits, municipal inspections, special inspections, testing agencies, and utility-company representatives.
- Coordinate underground utility work with the site contractor and utility-company representatives.
- Ensure work areas are properly prepared for inspection and support timely approvals and corrective actions.
- Maintain accurate daily reports documenting manpower, work completed, weather, deliveries, inspections, delays, visitors, safety issues, and photographs.
- Maintain current field records for RFIs, field work orders, delivery tickets, manpower, inspections, and assigned-scope documentation.
- Assist with field office document control and ensure the field team has current approved information.
Meetings, Billing and Closeout
- Attend weekly subcontractor meetings, Owner/Architect meetings, coordination meetings, and progress meetings; provide updates on assigned scopes and constraints.
- Verify installed quantities and actual percentage complete to support subcontractor billing reviews.
- Assist with punch-list development and completion, coordinate subcontractor corrections, and verify work meets project requirements.
- Support certificate-of-occupancy inspections, commissioning, turnover, warranty documentation, and project closeout.
- Support development of Assistant Superintendents and field staff through daily mentorship, knowledge sharing, and coordination guidance.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum 7 years of field construction experience, including at least 3 years as a Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent on multifamily, mixed-use, commercial, adaptive-reuse, or substantial-rehabilitation projects.

- Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire-protection, and shop drawings.
- Experience coordinating multiple trades and managing both established subcontractors and smaller local trades.
- Strong understanding of sitework, concrete, framing, building envelope, MEP rough-in, drywall, finishes, inspections, and closeout.
- Ability to maintain detailed daily reports, manpower tracking, look-ahead schedules, and field documentation.
- Strong communication, leadership, problem-solving, and accountability skills.
- Ability to work early mornings, occasional evenings, and weekends as project conditions require.
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.

- Maintain an organized, clean, safe, and professional site.
- Prevent trades from working out of sequence and identify missing information before it affects production.
- Ensure labor, materials, approvals, inspections, access, and tools are ready before work begins.
- Maintain reliable field documentation, safety compliance, quality control, and clear escalation.
