Commercial Construction Superintendent
Northern Virginia/DC | Full-Time | $95,000–$140,000 DOE Bonus
An established commercial general contractor with more than a century of history is looking to add experienced Commercial Construction Superintendents to its team in Northern Virginia.
This is an opportunity for a strong field leader who knows how to take ownership of a project, lead subcontractors, protect the schedule, and drive a commercial build from the ground up through turnover.
The company has a strong pipeline throughout Northern Virginia and works across a variety of commercial markets, including industrial, healthcare, retail, recreational, institutional, office and other ground-up construction.
What You'll Do
- Take full ownership of day-to-day field operations on commercial construction projects
- Lead projects through sitework, foundations, structure, envelope, MEP, interiors and final turnover
- Coordinate and manage subcontractors, suppliers and field personnel
- Drive project schedules, sequencing and short-term lookaheads
- Maintain high standards for safety, quality and jobsite organization
- Coordinate inspections, materials, manpower and equipment
- Maintain daily reports, RFIs, as-builts and other field documentation
- Work closely with Project Managers, clients, architects, engineers and ownership
- Identify field issues early and keep projects moving toward successful completion
What We're Looking For
- 5 years of commercial construction Superintendent experience
- Strong ground-up commercial construction experience is required
- Demonstrated ability to independently lead a project in the field
- Strong knowledge of construction means/methods, sequencing and subcontractor management
- Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications and scopes of work
- Strong communication and client-facing skills
- Experience with Procore, Bluebeam, MS Project and/or similar construction technology preferred
- OSHA 30 and First Aid/CPR preferred
- Pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) experience is a plus
Why Consider It?
This isn't a company looking for someone simply to oversee subcontractors. They're looking for a true field leader and will give that person the authority and support to run the job effectively.
You'll have:
- A stable company with 100 years in business
- Strong backlog and diverse commercial projects
- Direct access to company leadership and ownership
- Experienced Project Management and office support
- Competitive base salary starting around $95K–$125K, with flexibility above that for highly experienced Superintendents
- Performance bonus opportunity
- Vehicle allowance
- Company-paid base health insurance - medical benefits are 100% employer paid
- Dental, vision and life insurance
- 401(k) match
- PTO and additional employee benefits
Project Territory
Projects are concentrated throughout Northern Virginia, particularly Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, Fauquier and Stafford Counties, with additional work throughout the greater DC/Mid-Atlantic region.
If you're an experienced Superintendent who enjoys running the field, building from the ground up and having real ownership of your projects, we'd like to hear from you.
