Site superintendent

Helio Urban Development is building two small apartment buildings, in Truro and North Kentville. We need an experienced site superintendent on contract to be our eyes on both sites.

(one or two visits a week per site, about 2 days a week)

• Walk and photograph each site, and file a short written report the same day.
• Book and attend municipal inspections when our project manager confirms a stage is ready.
• Confirm deliveries the day before, mark drop zones, receive materials just in time.
• Check each trade's crew and progress against the schedule, and flag anything behind or unsafe.
• Keep the site rules on neighbours, garbage and safety.

No ordering, and no approving changes or invoices. You report to our project manager.

• 10+ years on Nova Scotia residential or multi-unit sites, as a super, foreman or lead hand.
• You read drawings and schedules, and spot when the site differs from them.
• Your own vehicle, and a phone for photos and simple apps.
• WCB Nova Scotia coverage and liability insurance as a contractor.
• No ties to a trade or supplier on these jobs, or you declare them up front.
• A plus:
  Red Seal or Gold Seal; panelized framing; knowing the local inspectors.

• Independent contract, from early October to dry-in around year-end, then renewable monthly.
• Pay: a day rate plus mileage, invoiced monthly.

• One person for both sites, or one per site: tell us which suits you.
