What are the responsibilities and job description for the Construction Superintendent position at Martin Horn?
Superintendent — Commercial Construction
Martin Horn is looking for an experienced Superintendent to run the field on ground-up commercial projects ($10M ). You'll own execution from start through closeout — building the schedule, driving subcontractor coordination, holding the line on quality and safety, and keeping the job on time and on budget.
What makes this different: you'll run your site with real backing. Our superintendents are supported by an in-house shop, PMs and executives who partner with the field instead of second-guessing it, real-time cost data, and a strong pipeline that keeps you building rather than chasing the next job.
Why Join Martin Horn
- Voted Best Contractor in Charlottesville, building here since 1979
- A strong self-perform shop behind you on tools, equipment, and manpower
- PMs and executives who support the field, not manage from a distance
- A safety-first jobsite culture that has your back
- A steady pipeline of quality commercial work across Central Virginia
- A team you'll actually like — UVA games, concerts, and off-site outings, and we give back together
We've built a culture rooted in integrity, trust, and accountability, and we back it up: people are paid well, supported in their growth, and treated like family. With 25 office and 40 field professionals, we hire top talent and empower them to excel.
