• Lead daily field operations for ground‑up construction, including sitework, foundations, structural systems, MEP integration, and project closeout.
• Direct, coordinate, and hold subcontractors accountable for productivity, sequencing, workmanship, and adherence to project plans and specifications.
• Actively drive project schedules by maintaining and updating the construction schedule, anticipating potential delays, and implementing corrective actions to keep the project on track.
• Enforce quality assurance standards by ensuring all work complies with plans, specifications, submittals, and federal quality control requirements.
• Promote and enforce a strong safety culture on site in accordance with OSHA regulations and military base safety protocols.
• Coordinate and communicate effectively with base personnel, inspectors, and internal project teams to resolve issues and keep stakeholders informed.
• Maintain thorough documentation, including daily logs, progress photos, RFIs, and other field reports to provide accurate records of project progress and issues.
• Take proactive ownership of field operations by identifying problems early, proposing solutions, and driving decisions without waiting for direction.
• Support project closeout activities, including punch lists, inspections, and turnover documentation, to ensure a smooth and compliant project completion.

• At least 7 years of ground‑up construction experience, ideally on federal, military, or industrial projects.
• Demonstrated ability to lead subcontractors, push schedules, and take full ownership of field operations.
• Hands‑on experience managing sitework, foundations, structural systems, and full‑building delivery.
• Strong understanding of federal construction standards, including quality control and safety protocols.
• Proficiency with construction management processes and tools, including field documentation and reporting.
• Experience working with or for a general contractor on ground‑up projects.
• Subcontractor management skills, including coordination, performance oversight, and conflict resolution.
• Familiarity with Procore or similar construction management software.
• OSHA 30 certification or equivalent safety training.
• Ability and willingness to travel and live on‑site for extended project durations.

• Experience delivering projects on active military bases or other secure federal facilities.
• Background in logistics, warehouse, or industrial‑type construction projects.
• Strong communication skills for coordinating with base personnel, inspectors, and project teams.
• Proactive, assertive leadership style with the confidence to make decisions and drive outcomes in the field.
• Interest in a long‑term, travel‑based superintendent role with ongoing assignments at military bases across the Northeast.
