Construction Assistant Superintendent

UrbanCore Construction
Richmond, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 7/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/16/2031

ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT

Build the Project. Protect the Plan. Lead from the Field.

If you're the kind of person who can't walk past a problem without fixing it, notices the details others miss, and takes pride in leaving a jobsite better than you found it, this role was built for you.

At UrbanCore, we believe planning and discipline create freedom. Great jobsites don't happen by accident, they're built through preparation, communication, and relentless attention to detail.

We're looking for an Assistant Superintendent who wants to be in the field, support the team, and help create jobsites that are safe, organized, and predictable.

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK HERE

Most construction environments accept chaos as part of the job.

We don't.

UrbanCore is a collaborative environment built on mutual respect; for the work, the plan, and the people doing it.

We believe the best projects are built through:

  • Clear expectations instead of constant urgency
  • Disciplined planning instead of last-minute scrambling
  • Accountability without blame
  • Respect for every trade partner on site

When we execute well, our teams:

  • Build better projects.
  • Create flexibility through discipline.
  • Protect their time and energy.
  • Deliver consistent results.

THE ROLE

The Assistant Superintendent is the Superintendent's right hand.

You're responsible for helping the project run smoothly every single day by keeping the field organized, identifying issues before they become problems, and making sure work is ready before crews arrive. You will coordinate trades, support production, maintain quality, and help create an environment where every trade can succeed.

Success in this role isn't measured by how busy you are. It's measured by how well the project flows.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Daily Field Execution

  • Support daily operations alongside the Superintendent.
  • Walk the project continuously to identify deficiencies, safety concerns, and roadblocks before they impact production.
  • Maintain high standards for quality, organization, and craftsmanship.
  • Coordinate inspections and maintain accurate field documentation.
  • Assist with punch list and closeout activities.

Operational Excellence

  • Lead daily huddles and foreman meetings.
  • Help maintain zone control and predictable workflow across the project.
  • Track observations, handoffs, and roadblocks.
  • Keep project information current and visible.
  • Reinforce consistent execution of UrbanCore's field processes every day.

Site Logistics

  • Coordinate material deliveries with vendors and trade partners.
  • Ensure materials are properly staged, protected, and available when crews need them.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, professional jobsite.
  • Support implementation of the site's logistics plan.

Safety Leadership

Safety isn't someone else's responsibility. It's everyone's.

  • Conduct daily safety walks.
  • Identify hazards before they become incidents.
  • Support trade orientations and maintain documentation.
  • Reinforce safe work practices across the entire site.
  • Promote a clean, organized, and safe working environment.

YOU'LL THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU...

  • Take pride in staying organized.
  • Notice details other people overlook.
  • Communicate clearly and respectfully.
  • Enjoy being in the field instead of behind a desk.
  • Take ownership without waiting to be asked.
  • Stay calm under pressure.
  • Believe preparation prevents problems.
  • Care about quality as much as production.
  • Respect every person working on the project.

This role is not for someone who prefers to wait for direction, overlooks the details, or believes "good enough" is good enough.

EXPERIENCE

  • Construction field experience preferred.
  • Experience reading construction drawings preferred.
  • ProCore experience is a plus but not required.

WHY URBANCORE

We're building more than buildings.

We're building a better way to work.

Our systems are designed to eliminate unnecessary chaos so our teams can focus on building great projects, supporting one another, and going home proud of what they accomplished each day.

If you're looking for a place where preparation matters, details matter, and people matter-we'd love to meet you.

  • Employee Health Coverage, 100% paid by company
  • 401K with Company Match of 100% up to 3%, and 50% up to 5%
