Now hiring - Field Operations Traveling Superintendent Commercial Construction • Nationwide
We build the spaces where people shop, eat, and gather. As a growing commercial construction management firm, we specialize in ground-up and tenant improvement projects for national retail and restaurant brands - and we're looking for a seasoned superintendent who knows what it takes to open on time and on brand. What you'll do
Lead field operations on projects ranging from $50K to $10M, coordinating directly with project managers, subcontractors, suppliers, landlords, and brand representatives.
Drive project schedules, long-lead logs, and subcontractor phasing - with a sharp eye on the grand opening date.
Set up and manage jobsite facilities: trailers, utilities, temporary power, and access - keeping the site safe, secure, and operationally ready.
Run regular safety meetings and enforce OSHA standards throughout the project lifecycle.
Coordinate between contract documents, subcontractors, and suppliers to resolve conflicts early - before they become schedule impacts.
Lead quality inspections, own punch list execution, and manage the full project close-out process through certificate of occupancy and client turnover.
Manage and develop field personnel - providing direction, feedback, and real-time coaching on site.
Maintain accurate as-built documentation throughout construction.
What you bring
5+ years of commercial superintendent experience, with a preference for retail, restaurant, or other tenant improvement work in occupied or active-use environments.
A track record of hitting opening dates - you understand the downstream consequences of schedule slippage for retail and restaurant clients.
Hands-on familiarity with brand standards, landlord coordination, and the approvals process common in national rollout programs.
Strong verbal and written communication skills - you're comfortable presenting to ownership groups, design teams, and field crews in the same day.
Proficiency with construction management software and scheduling tools.
Willingness to travel and work extended assignments away from home - this role is built for someone who thrives on the road.
A self-directed, problem-first mentality - you identify issues before they become RFIs and resolve conflicts before they hit the schedule.
Physical requirements
Ability to work in varying weather and outdoor conditions at active construction sites.
Capable of lifting, pushing, or pulling up to 50 lbs and performing physical tasks including climbing, bending, and stooping.
Proficiency operating standard business and field equipment (computers, phones, measuring tools).
