Construction Superintendent – Carbon Residential | Full-Time | Southeast Portfolio | Field-Forward
About Carbon Residential Carbon Residential is an established owner and operator of apartment communities based in Miami, Florida. We acquire and reposition strategically located workforce housing in suburban infill locations — building communities designed to thrive for decades, not flip in five years. Our goal is to house 10,000 families in Carbon communities over the next ten years, and the construction function is central to how we protect and grow asset value across the portfolio.
Our Core Values We hire, develop, and promote based on these six values. If they resonate with you, you'll thrive here.
- Growth Mindset – Practice Kaizen. Never settle, figure it out. Get 1% better every day.
- High Integrity – Do what you say. Own your wins and losses.
- Discipline – Be purposeful, thoughtful, and diligent in everything you take on.
- Build to Last – Take the long view. Every decision optimizes for 10–15 year outcomes.
- Connection – Build genuine relationships that earn trust and respect — with residents, investors, vendors, and each other.
- All In, All Out – Work hard, play hard. Bring full energy and commitment, and enjoy the ride.
The Opportunity The Construction Superintendent is the field-level execution arm of Carbon's construction department. You work under the Construction Director, but on-site you're the authority — directing crews, keeping projects on schedule, and making sure every unit that comes off your sites meets Carbon's quality standards. This isn't a role where you wait for direction on every decision. You see what needs to happen and you handle it.
You'll own the day-to-day execution of active renovation and capital projects: coordinating subcontractors, driving timelines, catching problems early, and communicating project status clearly to the Construction Director. The best candidate for this role is someone who runs a tight ship without being told to — who has already identified an issue before leadership even knows there is one, and who shows up with a solution, not just a report.
If you need someone to manage you closely, this isn't the right fit. If you thrive on ownership and take pride in a job done right, keep reading.
Primary Relationships
- Reports directly to the Construction Director
- Coordinates with Regional Property Managers on unit priorities and project timing
- Directs subcontractors and field crews on-site across assigned projects
- Works alongside on-site maintenance teams on handoffs and ongoing standards
The Role
Project Execution & Schedule Management You own daily execution. Projects move because you're pushing them.
- Manage all on-site construction activities across assigned renovation and capital projects — unit turns, common area upgrades, exterior work, and value-add scopes
- Build and maintain field-level project schedules; track milestones daily and flag risks before they become delays
- Sequence work across trades to avoid bottlenecks — you know who needs to be where and when, and you make sure they are
- Coordinate with Regional Property Managers on unit prioritization and communicate realistic, grounded timelines
- Conduct daily site walks and document what you see: progress, quality, punch items, anything outstanding
Subcontractor & Crew Oversight On-site, you're the authority. Subs and crews work to your standard.
- Direct and coordinate subcontractors, laborers, and field staff across active job sites
- Hold subs accountable to scope, schedule, and quality — address performance issues directly when they come up, not after the fact
- Verify material deliveries, site logistics, and staging are coordinated so work doesn't stop because of something preventable
- Maintain solid working relationships with your vendor bench without letting standards slip
- Escalate contractor issues to the Construction Director with clear documentation and a recommended path forward
Quality Control & Scope Compliance Every unit that comes off your sites is a reflection of Carbon's standards. You're the last check before sign-off.
- Inspect completed work against approved scopes and specifications before sign-off — every time
- Identify and track punch list items; drive them to resolution without letting them linger
- Ensure all work is built per approved plans, building codes, and Carbon SOPs — no shortcuts
- Catch and flag scope creep or budget-impacting issues to the Construction Director immediately — no surprises
Documentation, Safety & Reporting Clean records and a safe job site go hand in hand. You run both without being reminded.
- Maintain daily logs, progress photos, and project documentation for every active site — organized and up to date
- Submit weekly status updates to the Construction Director covering schedule adherence, open issues, and upcoming milestones
- Keep records of work orders, change orders, material deliveries, and site communications
- Enforce job site safety standards across all crews and subcontractors without exception
- Report safety incidents, code issues, or significant project risks immediately
Travel You should expect to be on-site most days — walking units, directing crews, and keeping projects moving. Travel across the Southeast portfolio is part of the job, with frequency depending on active project load. This is a field role, not an office role.
Who You Are You're proactive by default. Problems on your sites rarely catch you off guard because you've already walked the job, spotted the risk, and addressed it. You don't wait to be managed — you manage up by communicating clearly and staying ahead of what leadership needs to know.
You hold your subs to a high standard without making it adversarial. You're organized — your logs are current, your photos are filed, and your documentation tells a clear story of every project. You take ownership of your sites completely: if something goes sideways, you own it, you fix it, and you communicate it. No excuses.
You're competitive about quality. A bad install bothers you. You notice what's off before someone else points it out, and you don't let it slide. You bring energy and presence to your sites, and the people around you know it.
