Williams Contracting is seeking an experienced Residential Construction Superintendent to lead day-to-day field operations across our custom home and residential remodeling projects.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows how a well-run residential jobsite should operate. You will coordinate subcontractors, manage daily sequencing, monitor quality, solve field issues, communicate with the project team, and make sure each project continues moving forward safely, efficiently, and professionally.

If you take pride in organized jobsites, quality craftsmanship, clear communication, and getting the details right, this is an opportunity to take real ownership of the field with a custom residential builder in the Olympia area.

Williams Contracting is a custom home design-build company specializing in ground-up custom homes, residential remodels, and detailed custom construction projects.

Our reputation is built on craftsmanship, organization, communication, and delivering a professional construction experience from the beginning of a project through final completion.

We expect our jobsites to reflect those same standards: clean, organized, productive, safe, and professionally managed.

As Residential Construction Superintendent, you will be the primary field leader responsible for keeping construction activity organized and progressing according to plan.

• Oversee daily field activity across assigned residential projects

• Coordinate subcontractor arrival times, site access, work readiness, and completion
• Ensure work areas are prepared before the next trade begins
• Anticipate scheduling conflicts, delays, and trade dependencies
• Communicate schedule updates and field priorities clearly with the office team
• Maintain momentum across each phase of construction

• Regularly inspect work for quality, accuracy, and compliance with plans
• Verify custom details are being executed correctly
• Catch deficiencies before they become costly rework
• Hold subcontractors and field crews accountable for workmanship
• Protect completed finishes throughout construction

• Set clear expectations regarding scope, schedule, quality, and jobsite conduct
• Confirm subcontractors have the information, materials, and access needed to perform their work
• Verify work is complete before trades leave the site

• Communicate recurring performance issues to company leadership

• Provide regular progress updates to project management and leadership
• Document jobsite conditions, progress, issues, and completed work as needed
• Participate in project and field coordination meetings
• Communicate professionally with homeowners when appropriate
• Escalate problems early rather than allowing them to grow
• Help identify practical solutions to field challenges

• Previous experience as a Superintendent, Foreman, Lead Carpenter, Field Supervisor, or similar field leadership role
• Strong understanding of residential construction sequencing and building systems
• Ability to read and interpret architectural plans, structural drawings, specifications,…
