Senior Superintendent

Senior Superintendent

Large-Scale Commercial, Industrial & Mission-Critical Construction
Recruiting Partner: TrendHR

TrendHR is partnering with an ENR Top 25 General Contractor to hire a Senior Superintendent to lead field operations on complex, high-visibility projects across the U.S.

This is a true field leadership role. You will run the jobsite, direct subcontractors, drive the schedule, and set the tone for safety, quality, and production. You will work closely with Project Management and company leadership while having the autonomy to make real-time field decisions.

If you enjoy building large projects, leading crews, and taking pride in a well-run jobsite, this is worth a conversation.

What You’ll Do

Field Leadership

• Lead all onsite construction activities from mobilization through completion

• Direct field staff, subcontractors, and daily production operations

• Act as the primary field contact for owners, inspectors, architects, and project teams

• Maintain jobsite organization, accountability, and workflow

Safety & Quality

• Champion a strong safety culture and enforce site safety standards

• Conduct safety planning with project teams and subcontractors

• Ensure all work meets company quality standards and contract requirements

• Coordinate inspections and regulatory compliance

Schedule & Coordination

• Develop and execute production and phasing plans

• Maintain and update construction schedules (P6)

• Coordinate trades and resolve field conflicts quickly to keep projects moving

• Review drawings, shop drawings, and specifications

Project Execution

• Manage manpower planning, equipment, and material flow

• Oversee daily reports, documentation, and progress tracking

• Partner with Project Managers on job status and forecasting

• Support payroll, staffing, and field personnel oversight

Subcontractor Management

• Coordinate subcontractors and enforce performance expectations

• Facilitate onsite coordination meetings

• Troubleshoot construction challenges and recommend solutions

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of construction experience, superintendent experience strongly preferred

• Experience leading complex commercial, industrial, or mission-critical builds

• Strong knowledge of OSHA and construction safety standards

• Ability to read and interpret plans and specifications

• Proven leadership and team management ability

• Strong communication and decision-making skills

• Willingness to travel and work onsite for project durations

• Valid driver’s license

Why This Role Stands Out

• ENR Top 25 General Contractor with national resources

• Large, complex projects (not small tenant finish-outs)

• Real field authority and leadership responsibility

• Strong partnership between field and project management

• Stable project pipeline and long-term career growth

Benefits

• 401(k)

• Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance

• Paid Time Off

Work Location: Project-based / In-person
