Construction Superintendent | High-Impact Retail Projects | Western U.S. Travel

Are you someone who lives and breathes construction — especially in fast-paced retail environments? Can you lead teams confidently, coordinate subcontractors, and drive results without compromising quality, compliance, or schedule? If that sounds like you, this opportunity may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

A leading general contractor operating throughout California and the western U.S. is hiring an experienced Construction Superintendent to run high-profile commercial projects, from new builds to complex remodels. This is your chance to join a tight-knit, results-driven team known for delivering on time, on budget, and with pride.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Superintendent, you’ll be responsible for the overall execution of site operations. This includes coordinating subcontractors, managing schedules, and ensuring work meets all safety and quality standards. You’ll work closely with clients, inspectors, and internal teams, using platforms like ProCore to track progress, document key updates, and manage communication.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading daily jobsite activity with a sharp focus on safety, compliance, and execution
  • Conducting site walks, reviewing plans regularly, and proactively identifying any issues
  • Facilitating site meetings with subcontractors, clients, and inspection teams
  • Using construction software to submit RFIs, track changes, and log daily reports
  • Holding trade partners accountable for quality and schedule adherence
  • Ensuring clean, professional project closeouts with minimal loose ends

What Success Looks Like

You’ll be trusted to take control of active jobs, large or small, and push them forward without missing a beat. Whether managing a new build or stepping into a live remodel, your leadership will drive progress, build trust with clients, and ensure safe, timely completion.

Those who thrive in this role demonstrate attention to detail, strong decision-making under pressure, and the ability to lead diverse field teams with calm confidence. You’ll be expected to run multi-million-dollar projects while juggling field logistics, client expectations, and documentation with minimal supervision.

This is a high-responsibility role built for a construction professional who brings both field expertise and leadership maturity. If you know how to take a jobsite and make it hum, we’d like to hear from you.
