Full Job Description
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).
Compensation & benefits
  • Exempt salary - competitive DOE
  • Per diem for all out-of-town travel
  • Medical, dental, vision & life insurance
  • 401(k) with employer match
