Your Role: General Construction Superintendent

This position functions as a General Construction Superintendent, responsible for all field operations on residential construction projects. 

While Fountain Services is an electrical contractor by trade, this role is not trade-specific. The Superintendent will oversee and coordinate multiple subcontractors and trades (framing, concrete, roofing, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, finishes, etc.), ensuring work is performed safely, on schedule, and to quality standards. 

The Superintendent partners closely with the Project Manager to deliver projects on time, within budget, and in accordance with company policies and procedures.

Key Responsibilities

• Field Leadership: Manage all daily site operations including supervision of subcontractors, coordination of construction activities, enforcement of safety protocols, and execution of the project schedule.
• Schedule Management: Develop and maintain detailed look-ahead schedules; drive progress to meet critical milestones and proactively resolve conflicts and delays.
• Quality Assurance: Ensure all work is performed to high standards, in accordance with plans, specifications, building codes, and owner requirements.
• Safety Oversight: Enforce site safety policies and maintain compliance with OSHA and company standards; conduct regular safety meetings and inspections.
• Team Coordination: Collaborate closely with project managers, engineers, architects, consultants, and client representatives to maintain alignment and ensure clear communication.
• Inspections & Reporting: Coordinate with local authorities for inspections and approvals; maintain daily logs, safety documentation, and progress reports.

Minimum Requirements

• 8 years of general construction field leadership experience, preferably in a general contractor or homebuilder environment
• High School Diploma or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of all elements of commercial construction including structural, MEP, and architectural coordination in retrofit or hybrid new/old environments.
• Ability to read and interpret complex drawings, submittals, and technical documents.
• Strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
• Proven experience with project manager software

Portfolio

Fountain Services is recognized for delivering complex electrical projects across the region. This Superintendent role, however, supports our general construction initiatives, requiring hands-on leadership across all trades rather than electrical-only supervision.
