Sports Field Construction Superintendent

The Role

• Lead daily field operations as the boots-on-the-ground superintendent — coordinating crews, sequencing trades, and keeping the project on schedule from mobilization to closeout.
• Work alongside your crew. Grade, install turf, set drainage, lay base material — you can do the work, not just direct it.
• Operate heavy equipment including bulldozers, excavators, motor graders, and skid steers safely and efficiently.
• Read and execute from construction drawings and specifications. Identify issues before they hit the field and flag them through the proper channels.
• Own quality at every phase — verify subcontractor work meets spec before the next scope begins. Never sign off on work that doesn't pass.
• Run daily field reports — weather, manpower, work completed, deliveries, open issues, and next day plan. Done daily, no exceptions.
• Hold the site to a high safety standard. Conduct daily safety observations, stop work on critical hazards, and notify the project manager the same day.
• Manage punch list through closeout — track open items by priority, verify completions in the field, and drive the project to substantial completion.
• Serve as the primary point of contact on site for subcontractors, inspectors, and owners' representatives.

What You Bring

• Strong documentation discipline — daily reports, QC logs, and safety records done completely and on time.
