Superintendent

About the Role:

A well-established general contracting firm is looking for an accomplished Senior Superintendent with over a decade of hands-on field leadership to run projects across the Cape Cod, MA area.

This role owns the on-site execution of construction work from groundbreaking through final turnover. You'll be the point person for keeping jobs safe, on schedule, within budget, and built to the standards spelled out in the plans, specs, and contract. Working alongside the Project Manager and the wider project team, you'll direct trade partners and field staff, manage how the site runs day to day, keep the schedule moving, and hold the line on safety and craftsmanship. We're looking for someone who knows construction sequencing inside and out, leads people well, communicates clearly, and gets ahead of problems before they become delays.

What You'll Do:

• Take full ownership of daily field operations, making sure work stays aligned with design intent, contract terms, schedule, budget, and quality and safety expectations.
• Direct trade contractors, vendors, and field crews so the job keeps moving productively and on pace.
• Set clear standards for the field team and hold trade partners and staff accountable to schedule, safety, quality, and output.
• Stay on top of job site safety through regular walk-throughs and close coordination with the safety team.
• Champion a safety-first mindset and keep site operations aligned with internal policy and applicable regulations.
• Oversee everything logistical on site, equipment, deliveries, site access, material laydown, temporary facilities, and general site organization.
• Study drawings, specs, submittals, and other project documents to catch conflicts or buildability issues before they hit the field.
• Build and maintain the project schedule with the Project Manager, keeping key milestones and the completion date on track.
• Sequence near-term and longer-range field work to keep crews productive and efficient.
• Keep the Project Manager and project team informed on progress, staffing, safety, quality, and any open issues or needs.
• Run daily and weekly coordination meetings with trades and field staff, documenting decisions and commitments.
• Keep thorough, accurate daily logs, progress photos, as-builts, and other required jobsite records.
• Help carry out project changes in step with the project management team.
• Flag and help work through field issues, unforeseen conditions, RFIs, design conflicts, sequencing snags, buildability concerns.
• Get ahead of potential schedule risks and field obstacles, and bring solutions before they slow the job down.
• Keep an eye on workmanship to make sure finished work meets contract, company, and industry expectations.
• Coordinate inspections and make sure work is ready for review by owners, designers, code officials, and other stakeholders.
• Support closeout: punch list, inspections, commissioning, and turnover.
• Keep the jobsite clean, organized, and run professionally.
• Mentor and guide Superintendents, Assistant Superintendents, and other field staff.
• Represent the company well in front of clients, at inspections, in project meetings, and at industry events.

What We're Looking For:

• 10 years of field leadership experience as a Superintendent, Senior Superintendent, or in a similar supervisory capacity.
• A track record of successfully running complex projects start to finish.
• Solid grasp of jobsite safety requirements, building systems, construction methods, sequencing, and site logistics.
• Demonstrated skill in building and managing schedules, coordinating multiple trades, and keeping a jobsite safe and productive.
• Comfort reading and interpreting blueprints, specs, contracts, shop drawings, and related documents.
• A strong eye for buildability and a proactive approach to resolving field conflicts.
• Strong leadership, communication, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
• Proven ability to direct, motivate, and coordinate trade partners and field teams.
• Comfortable with field technology — tablets, project management and scheduling software, digital plan viewers.
• OSHA 30 certification required; CPR/First Aid a plus.
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management or a related field preferred, not required.
• Willing and able to travel throughout Cape Cod and the Islands.
