- Maintain quality standards, trade sequencing, inspections, and punch lists
- Coordinate material/equipment procurement and deliveries

- 7–10 years as a Project Superintendent in hotel and/or commercial office ground-up construction
- Comprehensive knowledge of all 16 CSI divisions
- Strong experience coordinating site logistics, site safety, foundations, building envelope, MEPS, and elevators
- Ability to manage subcontractors and vendors while maintaining schedule, budget, and safety compliance
- Proficiency with daily reporting, quality control checks, and look-ahead schedules
- Solid communication and client-facing skills — able to lead weekly OAC meetings
- OSHA 30 (required)
- Ability to read and interpret full plan sets (structural, architectural, civil, interior design, and MEP) and ensure trade compliance
Preferred
- Experience using Microsoft Office and MS Project
- DOB Superintendent or Site Safety Management license (or willingness to obtain — company supported)
- The ability to travel is a plus!
Must have a thorough knowledge, understanding, and mastery of ALL project plans, including but not limited to site work, civil & SOE, structural, architectural & interior design and MEPS, including plumbing riser diagrams & fixture placement plans & schedules, electrical feeder riser & feeder diagrams, lighting plans & light-fixture schedules & specifications and knowledge and experience with building codes as affected by local ordinances.
