Assistant Superintendent Jobs in Virginia

An Assistant Superintendent in the construction industry plays a critical role in managing and coordinating construction projects. They oversee daily operations on the construction site, ensuring work is carried out safely, on time, and within budget. They liaise with subcontractors, monitor construction progress, enforce safety regulations, and report to the Construction Superintendent. The Assistant Superintendent also helps in troubleshooting any construction issues, managing construction crew, and maintaining quality control throughout the project.

Important skills for an Assistant Superintendent include strong leadership abilities, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and high attention to detail. They should have a thorough understanding of construction procedures, equipment, and OSHA safety protocols. Most positions require a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or a related field, though substantial on-the-job experience can sometimes be substituted. It is also beneficial to hold certifications such as Certified Construction Manager (CCM) or Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) certification. Prior to becoming an Assistant Superintendent, individuals may have roles such as Construction Foreman, Site Supervisor, or Project Coordinator.
