About FedVet Construction:
FedVet Construction is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) federal general contractor with active contracts across California, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii, and Guam. Our portfolio includes construction and renovation projects for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), NAVFAC, USACE, National Park Service, and Bureau of Reclamation. We are veteran-led, safety-first, and proud to serve the federal agencies that serve our nation.
Job Summary:
FedVet Construction is seeking an experienced Site Superintendent for an active VA construction project at the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System (SAVAHCS), located at 3601 S. 6th Street, Tucson, Arizona. The project involves interior renovation of an Interventional Radiology suite (Building 38, Room A-186), including selective demolition, light-gauge metal framing, rough and finish MEP, and medical equipment coordination in an actively operating VA medical facility. This is an ICRA Class IV project (highest infection control risk classification).
The Site Superintendent will serve as the primary on-site field authority responsible for day-to-day construction operations, subcontractor coordination, schedule management, and overall quality of work execution. The position is approximately 80% supervisory and 20% hands-on, commensurate with project scope and operational needs. The Superintendent reports to the Project Manager and Operations Manager, and works in direct daily coordination with the on-site SSHO and Quality Control Manager (QCM).
We are actively recruiting locally in the Tucson/Southern Arizona area. Local candidates will not be required to relocate. This position is project-based with strong potential to transition to additional FedVet federal projects upon project completion, though future project locations cannot be guaranteed.
Key Responsibilities:
- Serve as the primary on-site field supervisor for all construction activities; maintain a consistent on-site presence during all active work operations, including any after-hours or weekend shifts.
- Direct and coordinate all subcontractor activities to ensure work is executed safely, on schedule, within scope, and in conformance with contract documents, specifications, and drawings.
- Enforce compliance with ICRA Class IV infection control barrier requirements, including coordination with the SSHO, VA Infection Control, and Contracting Officer Representative (COR) for barrier integrity and worker movement protocols.
- Support the Quality Control Manager (QCM) in the execution of the Three-Phase Control System (Preparatory, Initial, Follow-Up) for all Definable Features of Work (DFOWs); attend and participate in preparatory and initial phase meetings.
- Coordinate with the SSHO to enforce the project Accident Prevention Plan (APP) and Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs); participate in daily safety briefings and toolbox talks.
- Manage project schedule at the field level; identify and communicate schedule risks to the Project Manager with recommended corrective actions.
- Coordinate delivery, staging, and storage of materials in compliance with SAVAHCS facility access, ICRA barrier, and VA infection control requirements.
- Review and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and submittals; communicate scope, sequencing, and technical requirements clearly to subcontractors and tradespeople.
- Conduct and document daily site observations; complete and upload Daily Reports, photographs, and field logs using Procore and/or other Government-required construction management systems.
- Attend and participate in construction coordination meetings, partnering sessions, and progress reviews with the Government COR, Project Manager, SSHO, and QCM.
- Coordinate with the VA Facility Manager, VA Engineering, and COR regarding access scheduling, phasing requirements, and occupant protection during active operations in a functioning medical facility.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and compliant work site consistent with SAVAHCS facility standards, ICRA Class IV requirements, and applicable VA regulations.
- Assist in identifying, documenting, and resolving Requests for Information (RFIs), field conflicts, and scope changes in coordination with the Project Manager.
Required Qualifications:
- Minimum of 5 years of experience as a Site Superintendent or Field Supervisor on federal construction projects, with demonstrated experience working on VA, NAVFAC, or USACE contracts.
