Superintendent, Construction

Superintendent | New Home Construction
Field Operations | Trade Partner Management | Quality & Customer Experience
An award-winning national production home builder is seeking a Superintendent to run day-to-day field operations at the community level, taking homes from lot start through final orientation and key handoff. This builder pairs disciplined construction practices with a quality-first build philosophy - and treats superintendents as the center of the field operation. The role owns schedule, trade performance, quality, and site safety for an active single-family community in California.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate all on-site construction activity at the community/subdivision level in accordance with company standards, sequencing, and processes.

• Direct and supervise trade partners and subcontractors; hold them accountable for performance, quality, safety, and adherence to scopes of work.

• Build and maintain construction schedules across multiple homes in different phases; manage workflow continuity and remove constraints before they cost days.

• Inspect and approve completed work for compliance with construction documents, company standards, and applicable building codes.

• Coordinate and manage municipal inspections, approvals, and Certificates of Occupancy with AHJs.

• Maintain job-site safety and OSHA/Cal-OSHA compliance; enforce SWPPP requirements and daily trade clean-up.

• Lead homeowner orientations and walk-throughs; resolve construction-related issues in coordination with sales and customer relations.

• Manage community-level cost control - variance POs, takeoff accuracy, and trade payment approvals.

• Maintain daily reports, progress photos, inspection logs, and field documentation to company standards.

• Utilize construction technology and scheduling software to manage, report, and forecast work.

• Mentor assistant superintendents and field staff; cultivate an accountable, safety-first culture.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of residential construction field management at the Superintendent level; production homebuilding strongly preferred.

• High school diploma or GED required; bachelor's in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field preferred - or 6-8 years of equivalent experience.

• Working knowledge of residential construction methods, sequencing, and California building codes.

• Proven ability to manage trade partners and run multiple homes in different phases simultaneously.

• Proficient with field/scheduling software (e.g., Procore, Bluebeam, MS Project, or builder ERP equivalents).

• OSHA certification a plus; valid driver's license required.

• Authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.

Compensation
$110,000-$120,000 base salary, depending on experience, plus bonus program and full benefits.
