  • Help standardize field procedures and best practices across projects
  • Identify potential risks and proactively address issues before they impact the project
  • Maintain strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, and project teams
  • Support the development and growth of the company's field operations team
  • Promote a culture of accountability, teamwork, communication, and safety

Qualifications

  • 5–10 years of commercial construction Superintendent experience
  • Proven experience overseeing commercial construction field operations
  • Experience managing multiple jobsites and/or multiple Superintendents
  • Strong understanding of commercial construction means, methods, scheduling, and sequencing
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and mentor field personnel
  • Strong understanding of construction plans, specifications, and contract documents
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Strong organizational and problem-solving abilities
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and projects simultaneously
  • Proficiency with construction management software such as Procore is a plus
  • Ability to travel between jobsites throughout the Denver metro area

The Ideal Candidate

We're looking for someone who is more than just a strong Superintendent. The right person will be a field leader who takes ownership, communicates well, and gets things done.

You should be:

  • A go-getter who doesn't wait for problems to solve themselves
  • Comfortable making decisions and taking ownership in the field
  • A strong communicator who can work effectively with both field and office teams
  • Able to hold subcontractors and project teams accountable
  • A mentor who can develop and support other Superintendents
  • Highly organized and able to manage multiple active projects
  • Calm and solutions-oriented when challenges arise
  • Focused on safety, quality, schedule, and client satisfaction
