Full-Time - Fast-Paced - High Accountability - Growth-Oriented

This Job Is NOT for Everyone

Before applying, please understand:

This is not a clock-in, clock-out position.

This is not for someone who avoids responsibility.

This is not for someone satisfied with average performance.

This role is for individuals who take ownership, push through challenges, and want to grow into true construction leaders.

If that excites you, continue reading.

About the Company

We are a fast-growing commercial construction company built on professionalism, urgency, accountability, and high standards. We move quickly. We expect excellence. We are building more than projects — we are building leaders and a scalable organization.

As our company grows, we are looking for a Project Superintendent who wants to work with us over the next 5–10-year horizon and see position growth and/or responsibility growth over the next 24 months and beyond.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a driven and accountable Construction Project Superintendent to lead commercial construction projects on site from start to finish.

You will be the field leader.

You will set the pace.

You will own the outcome.

If you thrive in high-responsibility environments and take pride in delivering projects the right way, this is for you.

If you prefer minimal oversight, limited responsibility, or rigid 40-hour weeks, this is not for you.

Core Responsibilities
  • Lead and manage all on-site construction activities
  • Drive schedules aggressively and hold subcontractors accountable
  • Ensure projects are completed on time and within budget
  • Coordinate with architects, engineers, inspectors, and subcontractors
  • Read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings accurately
  • Enforce OSHA and company safety standards without compromise
  • Conduct detailed quality control inspections
  • Maintain clean, organized, and professional jobsites at all times
  • Ensure sites are safe, orderly, and inspection-ready daily
  • Complete and maintain thorough daily logs without exception
  • Utilize construction management software including Buildertrend and Autodesk Construction Cloud
  • Upload photos, track progress, manage documentation, and keep systems updated in real time
  • Identify problems early and solve them proactively

Technology and documentation are not optional in this role. We prioritize accurate daily reporting, organized project files, and disciplined system usage. If you resist technology or paperwork, this position will not be a fit.

Work Ethic & Time Commitment

This position will require 50–60 hours per week during active project phases.

Clients matter.

We are looking for someone who understands that construction leadership requires presence, urgency, and follow-through.

This is not a travel position, but you must be willing to travel as needed depending on project demands.

Experience and Qualifications

Preferred Experience
  • 5+ years of commercial construction or project management experience
  • Strong blueprint reading and technical comprehension skills
  • Knowledge of OSHA standards and jobsite safety enforcement
  • Experience using Buildertrend, Autodesk Construction Cloud, or similar software
  • Proven ability to manage subcontractors and jobsite teams
  • Budget awareness and cost-control mindset
  • Strong quality control standards
However

Experience is important — but drive is more important.

If you have less experience but:

  • Are coachable and open to feedback
  • Are willing to work 50–60 hours per week
  • Are disciplined with documentation and organization
  • Take pride in clean, safe jobsites
  • Are committed to self-improvement and leadership growth

We are willing to invest in the right person. We cannot train work ethic. We cannot train ownership.

We can train systems and processes.

If you are looking for a static role with no increased expectations, this is not the right fit.

We are looking for someone who wants more responsibility over the next 24 months — not less.

As the company grows, leadership opportunities will expand. This role is designed for someone who wants to develop into higher levels of project or operational leadership.

If you are looking for long-term growth and upward mobility, this can be a strong opportunity. If you are looking for a static role…
