• Nationwide

Full-time
• Exempt salary •
Based anywhere •
Per diem provided •
Retail & restaurant focus

We build the spaces where people shop, eat, and gather. As a growing commercial construction management firm, we specialize in ground-up and tenant improvement projects for national retail and restaurant brands, and we’re looking for a seasoned superintendent who knows what it takes to open on time and on brand.

About the Role

This is a field-first role for someone who thrives on the road. You’ll lead construction operations from the ground up, owning the schedule, the site, and the outcome on projects ranging from $50K to $10M. You can be based anywhere in the country, but you should expect to travel to project sites and work extended assignments away from home.

That’s not a caveat, it’s the job, and the right person will relish it.

What You’ll Do

• Lead field operations on projects ranging from $50K to $10M, coordinating directly with project managers, subcontractors, suppliers, landlords, and brand representatives.
• Drive project schedules, long-lead logs, and subcontractor phasing, with a sharp eye on the grand opening date.
• Set up and manage jobsite facilities: trailers, utilities, temporary power, and access, keeping the site safe, secure, and operationally ready.
• Run regular safety meetings and enforce OSHA standards throughout the project lifecycle.
• Coordinate between contract documents, subcontractors, and suppliers to resolve conflicts early, before they become schedule impacts.
• Lead quality inspections, own punch list execution, and manage the full project close-out process through certificate of occupancy and client turnover.
• Manage and develop field personnel, providing direction, feedback, and real-time coaching on site.
• Maintain accurate as-built documentation throughout construction.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of commercial superintendent experience, with a preference for retail, restaurant, or other tenant improvement work in occupied or active-use environments.
• A track record of hitting opening dates, you understand the downstream consequences of schedule slippage for retail and restaurant clients.
• Hands-on familiarity with brand standards, landlord coordination, and the approvals process common in national rollout programs.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, you’re comfortable presenting to ownership groups, design teams, and field crews in the same day.
• Proficiency with construction management software and scheduling tools.
• A self-directed, problem-first mentality, you identify issues before they become RFIs and resolve conflicts before they hit the schedule.
• Willingness to travel and work extended assignments away from home, this role is built for someone who thrives on the road.

Desired credentials (not required): OSHA 30, QCIS, PMP, CCM, and/or similar certifications are a bonus. We value candidates who invest in their professional development — credentials help, but your field record speaks louder.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to work in varying weather and outdoor conditions at active construction sites.
• Capable of lifting, pushing, or pulling up to 50 pounds and performing physical tasks including climbing, bending, and stooping.
• Proficiency operating standard business and field equipment (computers, phones, measuring tools).

Compensation & Benefits

• Exempt salary — competitive DOE
• Per diem for all out-of-town travel
• Medical, dental, vision & life insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
