About Schell Creek Construction: Schell Creek Construction is a premier builder known for high-integrity projects and uncompromising quality. We believe that the best leaders are those who stay close to the work. We aren’t looking for a "clipboard superintendent" who manages from the truck; we need a seasoned professional who takes total ownership of the job site and leads by example.

Construction Superintendent. As a Construction Superintendent, you are the primary authority on the job site. You are responsible for the successful execution of the project from mobilization through close-out. You will manage the flow of work, the safety of the personnel, and the quality of the finished product.

• Site Operations & Leadership:
  • Daily Management:
    Direct all field personnel and subcontractors to ensure project milestones are met. Maintain a highly organized, clean, and professional job site at all times.
  • Hands-On Participation:
    Lead from the front by assisting with physical labor, technical trades (carpentry, concrete, etc.), and site problem‑solving as needed.
  • Logistics & Staging:
    Plan and manage site logistics, including material deliveries, equipment staging, and temporary utilities to minimize downtime.
  • Reporting:
    Regularly update Project Managers on field progress, material needs, and any potential deviations from the project plan.
• Project Management & Administration:
  • Schedule Oversight:
    Develop, manage, and update the 2‑week look‑ahead schedules. Identify potential bottlenecks early and implement corrective actions.
  • Documentation:
    Maintain meticulous daily logs, including weather conditions, manpower counts, work performed, and site visitors.
  • RFI & Submittals:
    Review blueprints and specifications deeply; identify discrepancies early and initiate Requests for Information (RFIs) to prevent rework.
  • Meetings:
    Lead weekly on‑site subcontractor coordination meetings to review safety, schedule, and quality expectations.
• Quality & Safety Compliance:
  • Quality Assurance:
    Conduct "first‑work" inspections for every trade to ensure the standard is set correctly from day one. Manage the punch‑list process throughout the project, not just at the end.
  • Safety Culture:
    Act as the primary Safety Officer. Conduct daily tool‑box talks, enforce OSHA compliance, and ensure all workers have the proper PPE and training.
  • Inspections:
    Coordinate with local building officials and third‑party inspectors to ensure all work is permitted and approved.

• Experience:
  
  3 or more years of experience in a construction supervision role.
• Technical Mastery:
  Strong ability to read and interpret complex architectural, structural, and MEP drawings.
• The "Working" Factor:
  Must have a background in the trades (e.g., Journeyman‑level carpentry or concrete) and a willingness to perform physical work alongside the crew.
• Software
  
  Skills:
  
  Proficiency with project management software (Procore, Buildertrend, or similar), digital blueprints (Bluebeam), and standard email/spreadsheets.
• Soft Skills:
  
  Exceptional communication skills and the ability to resolve conflicts between subcontractors or vendors professionally.
• Requirements:
  Valid Driver’s License and clean driving record; OSHA 30 certification preferred.

• A Culture for Builders:
  We value leaders who lead from the front. If you take pride in being a "boots on the ground" superintendent, you will thrive in our environment.
• Uncompromising Integrity:
  Join a team that prioritizes high‑quality craftsmanship and honest communication above all else.
• Competitive Compensation & Benefits:
  • Competitive salary based on experience.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Paid time off and holidays.
  • IRA with company match.
• Growth & Development:
  We are committed to providing opportunities for career growth and professional development within the company.
