What are the responsibilities and job description for the Superintendent - Healthcare Construction position at SpawGlass?
As our Healthcare Superintendent, you will lead field operations for construction projects in complex healthcare environments, ranging from interior remodels within active hospital settings to major expansions and ground‑up facilities. This role is critical to ensuring work is executed safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to ongoing patient care and hospital operations.
In this role, you will oversee the day‑to‑day field execution of projects, including trade coordination, site logistics, sequencing, safety enforcement, and quality control. You will work closely with project managers, hospital stakeholders, clinical teams, infection prevention personnel, and trade partners to manage construction activities in occupied environments, maintain compliance with infection control risk assessments (ICRA) and interim life safety measures (ILSM), and ensure work aligns with project schedules, drawings, and specifications. You will lead daily huddles, enforce site safety protocols, monitor progress, and proactively address field issues to keep work on track.
Experienced Superintendents will lead complex, multi‑phase projects in active healthcare environments, develop and manage detailed phasing and logistics plans, coordinate shutdowns and critical tie‑ins, mentor field engineers and assistant superintendents, and collaborate closely with preconstruction and project management teams to optimize project execution strategies.
Success in this role is defined by your ability to maintain a safe, clean, and highly controlled jobsite while delivering high‑quality work in sensitive, operational environments.
