Overview
We’re partnering with a well-established, owner-led construction firm based in Eastern Kentucky to hire a Project Superintendent to lead on-site execution of ground-up commercial construction projects.
This role is reporting directly to company leadership. You will own the jobsite, manage subcontractors effectively, and ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to a high standard of quality.

- Coordinate and supervise multiple subcontractors across trades
- Maintain clear, consistent communication with internal leadership, clients, and subs
- Ensure all work is completed in compliance with plans, specifications, and safety standards

- Track record of delivering projects on schedule
- Excellent communication and leadership skills — able to run a jobsite and represent the company well
- Experience with K-12 or large commercial building projects is strongly preferred
- Ability to work independently with minimal oversight and take full ownership of a project
