Job Description & How to Apply Below

1. FEDERAL FIELD EXPERIENCE — NON-NEGOTIABLE

  • Minimum 10 years as a Site Superintendent on federal government construction contracts — commercial experience does not count toward this threshold.
  • Must have delivered projects under NAVFAC, USACE, GSA, USAF, or NIH contract vehicles — MACC/IDIQ, SATOC, MATOC, or standalone task orders.
  • Must have managed at least two of three delivery methods:
    Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and IDIQ Task Order.
  • Must have experience on occupied federal facilities — managing active operations, phasing, and access control while construction is ongoing.
  • Experience on DoD installations in the DC Metro region is strongly preferred:
    Indian Head, Dahlgren, NRL, JBAB, Bethesda, Fort Belvoir, Aberdeen, Patuxent River, Norfolk Naval Station.
  • Minimum portfolio must include at least three of the following federal project types:
  • Interior renovation of occupied federal building (office, lab, or medical)
  • MEP upgrade or full system replacement on a federal facility
  • Fire Alarm / Mass Notification System installation or upgrade
  • Perimeter security / Force Protection (anti-ram barriers, guard booths, fencing)
  • Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) — erection and full enclosure
  • Design-Build project with a Designer of Record and government design review
  • Ground-up new construction on a military or federal installation
2. CERTIFICATIONS — MUST BE ACTIVE ON DAY ONE

The following are hard requirements — not preferred qualifications:

OSHA 30-Hour Construction — active, not expired

First Aid / CPR — current certification

Valid driver's license — required for all CJW operating states

Preferred — differentiating qualifications:

Active CAC or DBIDS base access credential — can get on-site Day 1

Procore Certification — platform used on all CJW projects

ASHE Healthcare Constructor — relevant for NIH and VA hospital work

Note: CQM-C is NOT required for this role — that is the QC Manager's credential

3. SITE MANAGEMENT & EXECUTION COMPETENCY
  • Must establish and maintain full site logistics from mobilization through demobilization without PM direction — staging, laydown, temporary facilities, access control, haul routes.
  • Must manage and direct multiple subcontractors simultaneously — knows how to sequence trades, resolve conflicts on site, and maintain production momentum.
  • Must manage badging, escort, and installation access for all personnel and subcontractors on secure military bases — including coordinating DBIDS and base access submissions.
  • Must be able to read and apply construction drawings at expert level — architectural, structural, civil, MEP, fire protection — and cross-reference against specs without assistance.
  • Must identify field conflicts, drawing discrepancies, or scope ambiguities and immediately communicate RFI needs to the PM with clear documentation.
  • Must maintain a marked-up, current set of drawings on site at all times and contribute to as-built preparation throughout the project.
  • Must conduct and document pre-task meetings before each new trade activity — not just attend, but run them.
4. SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT
  • Must produce and own a 3-week lookahead schedule every week without PM prompting — distributes to subs, updates actuals, identifies float risks.
  • Proficient in Primavera P6 or MS Project at the task level — can update actuals, identify critical path erosion, and revise after a government-directed change.
  • Must understand CPM logic well enough to have an independent recovery conversation with a COR without the PM present.
  • Must have documented a government-caused delay with contemporaneous field records sufficient to support a future REA — and understand why that documentation matters contractually.
  • Must pre-order long-lead materials and pre-position crews well in advance — anticipates, does not react.
5. SUBCONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT & COMMUNICATION
  • Must be comfortable reviewing subcontract scopes of work and identifying gaps before work begins — not just directing subs verbally after the fact.
  • Must produce written subcontractor direction — emails, field directives, notices of non-compliance — when verbal coordination is insufficient or a paper trail is required.
  • Must run a weekly subcontractor coordination meeting and…
