About NOVA Construction Management
NOVA Construction Management is a high-performing, small general contractor and a division of Hernandez Construction, an industrial contractor focused on large warehouse, cold storage, and manufacturing projects across South Florida.
NOVA specializes in industrial and commercial interior buildouts—distribution centers, cold storage tenant improvements, and office/retail buildouts inside larger industrial parks—typically ranging from 50,000 to 800,000 SF. Because we’re a smaller, fast-growing group, field staff see the full project lifecycle instead of being siloed by trade, making it an ideal environment for learning and advancement.

This role is designed for someone with solid field experience (foreman/lead carpenter/field engineer) who wants to grow into a full Superintendent role while getting direct exposure to scheduling, coordination, safety, and quality control.
