About Us

Clayco is a full-service, turnkey real estate development, master planning, architecture, engineering, and construction firm that safely delivers clients across North America the highest quality solutions on time, on budget, and above and beyond expectations. With $8.1 billion in revenue for 2025, Clayco specializes in the "art and science of building," providing fast track, efficient solutions for mission critical, industrial, life sciences, power & energy, aviation, commercial, institutional, residential and sports & entertainment related building projects.

As part of the Clayco family, Ventana designs, supplies, and installs high-performing curtain wall façade systems. By working closely with the design team, we can ensure a competitively priced façade that is water and airtight and allows for optimal thermal control of the interior space. Traditionally, the façade is one of the major risk factors on any building, and the team at Ventana has a proven track record of taking the risk and delivering superior façade systems that guarantee long-term performance.

As a Superintendent, you will be based on the construction project site and will be responsible for field operations, onsite construction management, and ensuring that the quality of work and materials is upheld. The Superintendent will ensure that the workers are implementing what is on the design plan and the progress of the project, and sees to it that the project is completed on time and that all standards are met.

The Superintendent solves disputes in the field in a courteous and professional manner utilizing the specifications and drawings along with schedules to resolve fairly and in the best interest of the project.
