What are the responsibilities and job description for the Superintendent position at Findorff?
At Findorff, we bring expertise and value in construction that extends far beyond building. Since 1890, we’ve grown from humble beginnings into a trusted construction partner — driven by strong relationships, a dedication to safety, quality, and craftsmanship, and a commitment to the communities we serve.
What We Are Looking For
29-story, 994000 sf student housing project in downtown Tempe, AZ. The new building will consist of 791 units and 1534 bedrooms. The project contains three levels of parking with units on top of the parking podium. The property will feature a rooftop pool, fitness center, and recreation rooms as amenities. We broke ground earlier this year with a completion date of summer 2028.
What You’ll Do
As a Superintendent with Findorff, you’ll lead field operations from project kickoff through completion, owning execution, team coordination, and jobsite performance. You’ll direct and supervise field personnel and subcontractors, manage schedules, labor, and cost performance, and ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and with high quality. Because our work spans a wide range of project types, sizes, and complexities, no two projects look exactly the same. What stays consistent is your role as a hands-on leader, able to build strong relationships across project teams, lead by example, and contribute to the growth and development of others through training and mentorship.
Diversity matters. Findorff recognizes the talents of all, appreciating the different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that make us a stronger company and partner for the communities we live and work in.
