Site Superintendent

Costo Construction is a fifth generation, family-owned general contractor in Palm Desert. We deliver high-end residential renovations, custom new homes and commercial projects across the Coachella Valley. Our owners are on our jobs every week, and our clients hire us for the craftsmanship and clear, fast communication. Our pipeline is growing, and we're adding a Superintendent to run our commercial projects up to $7 million.

You'll run the jobsite on commercial projects up to $7 million: tenant improvements, interior remodels, medical and office space, country club and community facilities, and ground-up buildings. You own the field: schedule, safety, quality and subcontractor performance. You'll work with our Project Managers and report to ownership. We give our superintendents real authority, clear field standards and a bonus tied to how their jobs perform.

We hire for character as much as experience. The right person for this role is:

• A team player: You work closely with our Project Managers, subs, inspectors and owners, and you build a jobsite culture people want to be part of
• Experienced in exactly this role: You've already run commercial jobsites as the lead superintendent, so you can take over the field from day one
• An owner of your work: You treat your jobsite as your own, follow through without reminders, and own your mistakes as well as your wins
• A problem solver: When a conflict, delay or field issue comes up, you work it out on site and bring the PM options, not just the problem
• Positive under pressure: You keep a steady, constructive outlook with owners, tenants and crews, even on the hard days

• Run daily site operations from mobilization through closeout and turnover
• Build and maintain the 3-week look-ahead and keep the master schedule on track
• Coordinate and sequence all subcontractor trades; hold them to scope, quality and schedule
• Run weekly subcontractor and safety meetings; enforce site safety and Cal/OSHA requirements
• Schedule and walk city, fire and special inspections; manage corrections
• Review drawings and specs ahead of the work in Bluebeam; flag conflicts and push RFIs to the PM
• Verify that everything is built per the approved plans, specs and submittals, and elevate any discrepancy to the PM the same day
• Coordinate in the field with subcontractors, the architect and engineers to resolve conflicts before they become rework
• Manage work in occupied buildings: phasing, noise and dust control, owner and tenant coordination
• Keep daily logs, photos and reports current in Job Tread
• Drive punch lists, closeout documents and a clean turnover

• Weekly toolbox talk and safety walk: Documented with sign-in sheets; hazards corrected immediately
• Daily site management: On site and running the job every working day: manpower, trade sequencing, deliveries, laydown, site access and housekeeping. You are Costo's leader on the jobsite from start to end of each day
• Weekly 3-week look-ahead (issued Monday): Sent to every sub on site and tied to the master schedule
• Weekly subcontractor coordination meeting: Run on site, with minutes and action items sent the same day
• Pre-installation meetings: Held with each major trade before it starts, covering scope, layout, sequencing, tie-ins with other trades and quality expectations
• Trade coordination: MEP, framing and finish conflicts found and resolved in the field before rough‑in, not after the work is installed
• Built‑per‑plan verification: Layout, dimensions, elevations, materials and installed work checked against the current approved drawings, specs and submittals before each trade starts and before work is covered, and documented with photos
• Discrepancy escalation: Plan…
