Senior Construction Superintendent

Job Description

If you are the superintendent other GCs call when a project is on fire, this will likely be the best role you see in the next 5 years.

We build complex, schedule‐critical projects on active military installations. High security, heavy compliance, zero hand‐holding. You get real authority, a leadership team that backs you, and projects you can be proud to put your name on.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are hiring a Senior Construction Superintendent to own day‐to‐day field execution on federal / DoD projects (typical range: $1M–$10M+). You are the on‐site “CEO” of the job: safety, schedule, quality, coordination, and government interface all roll up to you.

Location:

Oahu, Hawaii (field-based on military installations; limited travel as required)
Employment:
Full‐time, exempt

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Run the jobsite from mobilization through closeout, start to finish.
• Build and manage the 3‐week look‐ahead schedule and align subs, suppliers, and inspections to it.
• Lead daily huddles and weekly coordination meetings with subcontractors and the government team.
• Enforce EM 385 and site‐specific safety plans; stop work authority is yours, and you use it.
• Maintain high‐quality work in line with plans, specs, and QC plans; walk the work constantly.
• Coordinate all field activities with the Project Manager (RFIs, submittals, changes, procurement).
• Keep site paperwork tight: daily reports, manpower logs, delivery tickets, photos, and documentation.
• Host government representatives (NAVFAC / USACE / AFCEC etc.) on walks, meetings, and inspections.
• Drive punch‐list completion, commissioning, and closeout so the project finishes clean.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN 12 MONTHS

• You have taken at least one project from NTP to substantial completion with 0 recordables and 0 missed contractual milestones.
• The contracting officer and COR request you by name on their next project.
• Your jobs are within or ahead of the budgeted schedule and gross margin targets.
• Field issues get solved at your level; you escalate only when it truly needs executive air cover.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 5+ years as a lead Superintendent on ground‐up, renovation, or infrastructure projects.
• Direct experience working on active military bases or federal projects (NAVFAC / USACE / VA / AF).
• Proven track record running projects in the $1M–$10M+ range with responsibility for schedule and site operations.
• Deep understanding of construction means and methods, sequencing, and field problem‐solving.
• Strong command of jobsite safety (EM 385, OSHA), quality control, and subcontractor management.
• Ability to read and interpret plans, specs, and submittals and catch problems before they hit the field.
• Competence with basic construction software (Procore or similar), email, and digital documentation.
• U.S. work authorization and ability to obtain base access / security badging.

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF

• You need someone else to build your schedule and tell you what to do each day.
• You avoid hard conversations with subs or the owner when things slip.
• You want a “desk job” or to manage projects from behind a screen instead of walking the work.
• You view safety and documentation as paperwork instead of part of building professionally.

WHAT YOU GET

• Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, plus performance‐based bonus tied to schedule, safety, and project profitability.
• Health benefits and retirement plan (details to be provided in interview).
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Relocation support for the right candidate.
• A backlog of real work on active bases, not “hope and maybes.”
• A leadership team that understands federal construction, runs a disciplined operation, and wants supers who own outcomes, not just tasks.
