What are the responsibilities and job description for the Residential Construction Superintendent position at Enso Homes?
At Enso Homes, we're actually revolutionizing residential construction. We build homes that heal, not harm. Every material choice, every building method, every decision filters through one question: Does this contribute to human well-being?
This isn't another superintendent job. This is about running projects like you own them, building an elite in-house crew from scratch, and transforming how homes get built in Austin (and beyond).
You're a builder who sees the bigger picture. Someone who's spent time in the trades, understands the work from the ground up, and has earned respect on job sites across Austin. Your phone holds hundreds of contacts: reliable tradesmen, quality subs, trusted vendors. People answer when you call because they know you deliver.
More importantly, you're a leader people choose to follow. Not because of your title, but because they trust your vision, your standards, and your ability to have their backs. When you're running the show, crews know they're in good hands.
You see broken systems everywhere in construction and it drives you crazy. Toxic materials. Wasteful practices. The same old way things have "always been done." You're ready to build something better.
Build Your Crew: Your primary mission is assembling and leading an in-house team of exceptional tradesmen. You'll recruit, hire, mentor, train, and retain the absolute best talent in Austin. This isn't about managing subs forever. It's about building our core team.
Run It Like You Own It: Each project is your business. You make the calls, own the outcomes, and operate with complete accountability. No excuses, no finger pointing, just results.
Champion Wellness Construction: You'll lead the charge on non-toxic materials and healthy building practices. This means educating crews, pushing vendors, and holding the line on quality when everyone else cuts corners.
Leverage Your Network: Bring your Austin connections from day one. Your relationships with quality tradesmen, reliable vendors, and trusted subs will accelerate our growth.
Bridge Two Worlds: Translate our wellness mission into job site reality. Help traditional crews understand why we build differently and get them excited about being part of something bigger.
- Hands-on trade experience (you've worn the tool belt)
- Deep Austin network of tradesmen, subs, and vendors
- Proven ability to recruit and build high-performing teams
- Bilingual (English/Spanish) to lead inclusive job sites
- Tech-forward approach to project management
- Obsession with quality that others call unreasonable
- 3-5 years running high-end residential projects
1) Growth That Matters: Build something from the ground up. Your fingerprints will be on every aspect of how we operate.
2) Real Compensation: $90k-$110k base, healthcare support, PTO, performance bonuses. The right leader could push us higher.
3) Impact Beyond Paychecks: Every healthy home protects families for generations. Your work here matters on a cellular level.
4) Ownership Mentality Rewarded: Run projects like they're yours because that's how we'll treat you.
We're a startup disrupting a slow-to-change industry. That means no playbook, constant evolution, and building while we fly. Some days will test everything you've got. This isn't a clock-in, clock-out role. When you're building something revolutionary, the mission doesn't stop at 5pm. But if you're tired of choosing between your paycheck and your principles, if you know construction can be a force for good, then we need to talk.
This intensity isn't for everyone. But for the right person, someone who's been waiting for a company brave enough to build differently, this is home.
