SITE Superintendent - Federal Construction in Washington

Job Description Job Description

CJW Contractors Inc. is seeking a highly experienced, motivated, and mission-driven Site Superintendent with a minimum of 15 years of dedicated federal construction experience. The successful candidate will serve as the primary on-site authority for all construction operations, safety enforcement, subcontractor coordination, reporting, and schedule management. This role demands a self-starter with exceptional foresight — someone who anticipates construction activity needs well in advance, drives production relentlessly, and holds themselves and their teams to the highest standards of federal construction excellence.

• Serve as the on-site authority and single point of contact for all day-to-day field operations on federal construction projects including renovations, design-build (DB), design-bid-build (DBB), and ground-up new construction.
• Establish and maintain overall project site logistics, temporary facilities, access control, and material laydown plans from mobilization through demobilization.
  
  Manage and direct all subcontractors, self-perform crews, and suppliers on site, ensuring compliance with subcontract scope, project plans, specifications, and applicable federal regulations.
• Maintain a professional, organized, and well-run job site at all times — including implementation and enforcement of badging, PPE, and access procedures on secure government installations.
• Coordinate SECNAV 5512 NAC ( Agency Check) processing and installation access requirements for all personnel, subcontractors, and material deliveries onto Navy facilities.
• Foster a culture of accountability, craftsmanship, and team cohesion across all site personnel and subcontractor work forces.

• Demonstrate expert-level ability to read, interpret, and apply construction drawings including architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection plans.
• Cross-reference project specifications (UFGS, CSI Master Format, and project-specific supplemental conditions) to verify that all installed work meets design intent and contract requirements.
• Identify discrepancies, conflicts, or ambiguities between drawings and specs; promptly initiate RFIs through the Project Manager with clear, field-level documentation.
• Review and interpret shop drawings, submittals, and product data against contract documents prior to installation to prevent rework and non-conformances.
• Maintain a current, marked-up set of drawings on site at all times and actively contribute to as-built document preparation throughout construction.

• Champion a zero-incident safety culture across all site personnel, subcontractors, and visitors — safety is a core value, not a compliance checkbox.
• Conduct daily Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) reviews and site safety inspections; proactively identify and immediately correct unsafe acts or conditions before they result in incidents.
• Enforce full compliance with EM 385-1-1 (USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual), OSHA 29 CFR 1926, and all applicable Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) plans throughout the project.
• Immediately halt any operation presenting an imminent danger or unacceptable risk; document and report to the Project Manager and COR per contract requirements.
• Coordinate and verify that all subcontractors submit and follow approved AHAs, maintain current certifications, and provide adequate competent persons for controlled activities.
• Lead or facilitate weekly Toolbox Talks and Safety Stand-Down meetings as required; the ability to prepare and deliver engaging safety topics is strongly .
• Investigate near-misses and incidents immediately; prepare factual written incident reports and lead corrective action / root cause analysis.
• Maintain OSHA 300 logs, subcontractor safety submittals, and all site safety records in an audit-ready condition at all times.
