Commercial Superintendent

Construction Superintendent (a.k.a. Chaos Coordinator in a Hard Hat) Summary: You're the boss of the jobsite jungle. From blueprint to final broom sweep, you're the one making sure everything gets built, nobody gets hurt, and the porta-potty doesn't tip over. You'll juggle schedules, budgets, subcontractors, and the occasional surprise inspection all while pretending you're not stressed. What You'll Actually Do: Keep the project on time, on budget, and (mostly) on everyone's good side. Coordinate crews, subcontractors, and deliveries like a construction-themed air traffic controller. Enforce safety rules like a steel-toed hall monitor. Hold weekly safety meetings (bonus points if you bring donuts). Keep the jobsite clean enough that OSHA doesn't cry. Track everything: hours, receipts, weather, who brought the wrong materials again. Order materials before you run out (because teleportation isn't a thing yet). Schedule inspections and testing and try not to schedule them all on the same day. Coach your crew like a grizzled construction Yoda. Attend meetings, take notes, and nod wisely. You Might Be a Good Fit If You: Have 10-15 years of experience and a sixth sense for when something's about to go sideways. Can read blueprints like bedtime stories. Know how to motivate a crew without yelling (too much). Can lift 50 lbs and your team's morale. Own tools, know how to use them, and don't leave them in your truck overnight. Are fluent in construction speak and subcontractor excuses. Perks: Competitive pay (yes, real money). Endless opportunities to say I told you so. The satisfaction of pointing at a finished building and saying, I built that. Daily cardio from walking the site 47 times.
