Overview

We are seeking a Project Superintendent to serve as the on‑site field leader for capital improvement and renovation projects across our multi‑family portfolio. This role is responsible for the day‑to‑day execution of construction activities, ensuring work is performed safely, on schedule, and to Clear Investment Group’s quality standards.

The Project Superintendent will be embedded at the property during active Cap Ex phases and act as the primary on‑site representative for ownership—coordinating contractors, managing field logistics, and proactively resolving issues as they arise. The ideal candidate is hands‑on, decisive, highly organized, and thrives in an active construction environment while occupied or partially occupied.

Key Responsibilities On‑Site Project Execution & Oversight

• Serve as the primary on‑site lead for assigned Cap Ex and renovation projects.
• Coordinate daily construction activities, sequencing, and site logistics.
• Ensure work is completed in accordance with plans, specifications, and schedules.

Schedule & Progress Management

• Maintain and enforce project schedules in coordination with the Director of Construction & Capital Projects.
• Identify schedule risks early and drive corrective action to keep projects on track.
• Track daily progress and verify completion of work scopes.

Contractor & Trade Coordination

• Manage general contractors, subcontractors, and vendors on‑site.
• Conduct daily check‑ins, site walks, and progress reviews with trades.
• Enforce contract requirements, quality standards, and site expectations.

Quality Control & Punch Management

• Monitor workmanship and materials to ensure quality standards are met.
• Identify deficiencies early and ensure timely corrections.
• Lead punch list creation, tracking, and closeout.

Budget Awareness & Cost Control

• Support cost control efforts by monitoring field execution and flagging scope gaps, change conditions, or inefficiencies.
• Verify completed work aligns with approved scopes prior to payment review.

Safety & Compliance

• Enforce jobsite safety standards and OSHA compliance.
• Ensure contractors follow site‑specific safety plans and local regulations.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and professional jobsite.

Coordination with Internal Teams

• Work closely with Property Management to coordinate unit access, tenant communication, and minimize disruption.
• Provide frequent field updates to Construction leadership, including progress photos, risks, and milestones.

Reporting & Communication

• Deliver regular written and verbal updates on schedule, quality, safety, and issues.
• Escalate problems promptly with proposed solutions.

Tenant & Occupant Considerations

• Coordinate renovation activities in occupied properties with sensitivity to residents and site staff.
• Support smooth transitions between construction and stabilized operations.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 5–7 years of experience as a Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, or similar field leadership role.
• Strong hands‑on experience with multi‑family renovations, rehabs, or repositioning projects (occupied preferred).
• Deep understanding of construction sequencing, means and methods, and trade coordination.
• Working knowledge of local building codes, inspections, and permitting processes.
• Proven ability to manage jobsite schedules, quality, and safety simultaneously.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to lead trades and collaborate with internal teams.
• Comfortable using basic project management and reporting tools (e.g., Smartsheets, Procore, or similar).
• High accountability, strong work ethic, and a “get it done” mindset.
• Willingness to be on‑site full time and relocate or reside near assigned properties as required.
