About the opportunity
This is a field leadership seat running projects on site from pre-construction through closeout.
This is a senior field leadership seat. The Superintendent runs the job on site in partnership with the Project Manager and is the person the client, the design team and the trades deal with on constructability and field issues.

You will lead job site safety initiatives, enforce quality standards across the project team and subcontractors, and act as the primary point of contact for field and constructability issues.
