What You'll Do

As a Superintendent with Findorff, you'll lead field operations from project kickoff through completion, owning execution, team coordination, and jobsite performance. You'll direct and supervise field personnel and subcontractors, manage schedules, labor, and cost performance, and ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and with high quality. Because our work spans a wide range of project types, sizes, and complexities, no two projects look exactly the same. What stays consistent is your role as a hands-on leader, able to build strong relationships across project teams, lead by example, and contribute to the growth and development of others through training and mentorship.
  • Apply Construction Expertise: Use your deep understanding of building systems, materials, and construction methods to lead with safety, anticipate and mitigate risks, proactively solve problems, and keep projects moving forward.
  • Drive Procurement Efforts: Lead bidding and contracting processes, oversee subcontractor and vendor selection, and manage submittals to keep work aligned with project requirements and timelines.
  • Plan and Execute Projects: Develop and maintain project schedules, lead meetings, coordinate with self-perform teams and subcontractors, and champion safety planning to deliver successful, well-executed projects.
  • Own Financial Performance: Manage all financial aspects of your projects - from preconstruction and estimating through forecasting, cost control, and change management - ensuring strong financial outcomes.
  • Lead Project Teams: Provide clear direction and leadership to project teams, fostering strong communication, mentoring team members, resolving conflicts, and building lasting relationships with clients, partners, and internal stakeholders.

Why Findorff
  • Employee-owned (ESOP) to build long-term wealth alongside your career
