Lead Field Superintendent

With nearly 40 years of construction and development experience, Horizon delivers large-scale multifamily housing and mixed‑use communities across Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan. In 2024, we set a company record by breaking ground on 2,900 multifamily units across the Midwest and earned recognition as a Top 25 Builder by the National Multifamily Housing Council (Ranked #15
).

Your first project as a Lead Field Superintendent would be in Oak Creek or Racine, WI for a $40M project with an 18‑month schedule. These projects have a late summer start and we would like you to join us now for training and onboarding. The projects are generally 280 units with multiple buildings including club house and pool along with full site development.

As the leader on site, you will own the daily plan, coordinate structural/MEP trades, and drive the construction schedule from start‑up through turnover. You’ll set the pace for safety, quality, and productivity—partnering with the Project Manager, inspectors, and subcontractors to solve problems quickly and keep the build moving.

You’ll lead and develop the on‑site team—setting clear expectations, coaching field staff and trade partners, and building a high‑accountability culture centered on safety, quality, and schedule performance. Horizon supports your growth through our Lead Training program, which strengthens core superintendent leadership skills like communication, documentation, employee management, and field operations best practices.
