Job Description

Construction Superintendent

Salary: Up to $150,000

• Location: Miami, FL
• Reports To: Project Director / Owner’s Representative

About the Project (Confidential)

Our client is a private developer delivering high-spec, luxury commercial environments across Miami. Projects are at varying stages of completion, and the client requires a disciplined, highly present Superintendent who can drive day-to-day site activity, enforce standards, and ensure flawless execution.

The environment includes both internal owner’s representatives and third-party consultants, requiring a Superintendent who commands respect onsite and maintains tight control over schedule, coordination, and craftsmanship.

Role Overview

We are seeking a hands-on, assertive, boots-on-the-ground Site Superintendent who can function as the true quarterback on site. This individual must be present five days per week (starting at 7:30am) and act as the central authority ensuring progress, sequencing, and luxury-grade quality.

This role covers the full lifecycle of construction—from pre-construction planning through punch list—with a heavy emphasis on commercial office delivery and high-end finishes.

Scheduling ability is non-negotiable. The successful candidate must have prior experience building schedules from scratch and managing trades toward critical paths.

Key Responsibilities

Site-Based Leadership

• Lead daily onsite activity with a consistent presence (Monday–Friday, 7:30am start).
• Serve as the authoritative “boots on the ground,” driving momentum and ensuring clarity among all subcontractors and partners.
• Act as the main enforcer of safety, sequencing, site readiness, and quality expectations.

Trade & Stakeholder Coordination

• Coordinate closely with internal owner’s reps and external representatives.
• Oversee subcontractors and GCs, ensuring alignment with project standards and timelines.
• Maintain assertive, direct communication — challenging underperformance immediately.

Scheduling & Progress Control

• Create, maintain, and manage detailed construction schedules.
• Anticipate upcoming work (e.g., knowing a wall must be ready for drywall in two weeks) and sequence trades accordingly.
• Identify risks early, initiate corrective action, and keep the site advancing without delays.

Quality Assurance & Finishes Oversight

• Uphold strict standards for luxury interior fit-out, ensuring flawless finishes.
• Conduct ongoing inspections, ensure craftsmanship consistency, and manage punch list execution.
• Protect the integrity of design intent and project specification.

Lifecycle Project Involvement

• Participate in pre-construction planning and early-phase coordination.
• Drive execution through rough-in, framing, MEP, drywall, and finishing.
• Manage commissioning, closeout documentation, and handover compliance.

Candidate Profile

Required Background

• 5–10+ years as a Site Superintendent for a General Contractor.
• Strong history delivering high-end commercial office or luxury interior projects.
• Full lifecycle experience from pre-construction to punch list.
• Demonstrable ability to build and manage schedules independently (mandatory).
• Experience managing trades, GCs, and multiple construction stakeholders simultaneously.

Leadership Style

• Assertive, direct, and comfortable in a blue-collar, high-accountability environment.
• Military background or military-style discipline is a plus.
• Someone who can be “relentlessly persistent” — the person everyone knows is on site, watching, driving, questioning.
• Detail-obsessed and unafraid to enforce standards.

Personal Traits

• Early riser with consistent onsite presence.
• Thick-skinned, confident, and comfortable challenging trades.
• Highly structured, dependable, and solutions-oriented.
• Strong communicator with a bias toward action and clarity.
