Superintendent, Construction

Since 1995, Cadre has built some of Colorado’s most coveted custom homes. We partner with the industry’s best architects, designers, and craftspeople, and we hold ourselves to the highest level of professionalism, integrity, and honesty. Our projects range from $1M to $70M, and every one demands the highest level of finish.

The Superintendent leads the field side of our complex builds. Because of that complexity, you are dedicated to a single project at a time, working in partnership with the Project Manager to deliver it safely, on schedule, and to Cadre’s quality standard, from preconstruction through closeout. You are the lead for scheduling, subcontractors, field supervision, staging and sequencing, safety, BMP, quality control, and constructability, and the main field contact for architects, engineers, and consultants.

You are accountable for the timely completion of your project and for building it in strict accordance with plans, specifications, and local codes. As an experienced team member, you also set the standard for our field staff and mentor the assistant superintendents around you.

• Lead by example in living Cadre’s core values, Respect and Accountability, with clients, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and consultants.
• Communicate respectfully and collaboratively with clients, the project team, architects, and trade partners, and use that style to lead projects and clients effectively, including through difficult conversations.
• Champion a culture of excellence and hold the project team and trade partners to Cadre’s quality standards.
• Supervise and mentor assistant superintendents and field staff.
• Represent Cadre and our clients professionally at all times.

• Join preconstruction meetings for upcoming builds, especially a project you may be assigned to, once it is far enough along to bring you in. Review plans, reports, and specifications, and help define scope, build the subcontractor directory, and develop design tweaks and value engineering.
• Review the full plan set for constructability and coordinate with subcontractors and the PM to define detailed scope.
• Lead site logistics, site clearing, erosion control (BMP) planning, abatement, demo, utilities coordination, and project mobilization.
• Assist with budgeting, bidding, and award of subcontracts, and run a preconstruction meeting with each subcontractor.
• Coordinate mockups and sample approvals for finish materials before installation.
• Give field feedback to preconstruction and estimating on durations, production, and trade performance to improve future budgets and schedules.

• Own the construction schedule from preconstruction to closeout, and continuously evaluate changes and delays for impact on schedule and cost. Document every change and delay.
• Maintain a rolling three-week look-ahead and flag potential schedule impacts to the PM before they become delays.
• Schedule and manage subcontractors, consultants, and vendors on the critical path, with adequate manpower for each task.
• Coordinate purchasing and delivery against lead times and the schedule, and verify materials and selections match the contract documents, selections schedule, and budget before they are ordered. Manage submittals and approvals.
• Identify work outside subcontracted scope and flag it to the PM early. Verify that every change order is accurate, complete, and fully approved before any work is executed.
• Ensure every subcontractor meets all compliance requirements, including contracts, insurance, licensing, and any other Cadre requirements, before they step onto the job site.
• Confirm each trade is ready to start before mobilization: prior work complete,…
