Residential Superintendent

Alexandria, Virginia | Full-Time | $35-$45/hour

Company vehicle, subsidized health insurance, paid time off and retirement match

You know what good construction looks like--and what it takes to get there.

Maybe you started your career as a carpenter and worked your way into a lead or superintendent role. You know how a job should be sequenced, what quality workmanship looks like, how to spot a problem before it becomes expensive, and how to keep a project moving.

That's the experience we're looking for.

At Harry Braswell Design, you'll lead high-end custom renovations, additions, and historic restorations throughout the Washington, D.C. area. Our projects include architect-designed spaces, specialized materials, and homes more than 150 years old.

This isn't production construction. Every project is different, and we're looking for someone who enjoys the challenge of figuring things out and getting the details right.

, with the top of the range available to someone who can independently lead complex residential projects. We're prepared to pay for the right person.

Projects That Actually Use Your Experience

Work on high-end custom homes, additions, and historic properties--not cookie-cutter subdivisions. Your knowledge of construction, sequencing, materials, and craftsmanship will matter every day.

Autonomy to Run the Job

You’ll be trusted to take ownership of your projects--coordinating trades, ordering materials, planning ahead, solving problems, and keeping the work moving. The goal is for a strong superintendent to oversee one to two projects as project needs and experience allow.

Work That Challenges You

Our projects often involve architectural details and specialized products you may not have worked with before. You'll be expected to research, problem-solve, and figure out how to make things work--not simply wait for someone else to provide the answer.

Benefits

The position includes a company vehicle, company-subsidized health insurance, paid vacation, sick leave and holidays, and a SIMPLE IRA with a dollar-for-dollar match up to 3% after the applicable eligibility period.

You’ll be responsible for keeping your projects organized, moving forward, and built to an exceptional standard.
