Construction Superintendent

Job Title: Construction Superintendent Job Description This construction superintendent role offers a long-term opportunity with an established general contractor that focuses on commercial projects across Central Indiana and select locations in surrounding Midwest states. The position centers on ground-up commercial construction, including retail, financial, and dispensary projects, with an initial assignment on a new-build banking facility in Newburgh, Indiana.

The superintendent will take full ownership of the jobsite, lead field operations, and act as the primary on-site representative, ensuring projects are built safely, accurately, and on schedule. The organization follows a “trust, but verify” philosophy and values superintendents who remain visible in the field, build strong client relationships, and consistently verify that subcontractor work matches the drawings and specifications.

Responsibilities Serve as the primary company representative and point of contact on the jobsite, maintaining a professional presence with clients, subcontractors, and inspectors. Manage daily field operations from project startup through closeout, ensuring work progresses safely, correctly, and on schedule. Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, inspectors, consultants, and deliveries to keep the project organized and efficiently sequenced.

Prepare and maintain four-week look-ahead schedules, updating and adjusting as needed to reflect field conditions and project milestones. Ensure subcontractors are properly sequenced, understand their responsibilities, and meet schedule commitments. Walk the project consistently to independently verify completed work and confirm that installations match drawings, specifications, and client expectations.

Manage jobsite quality control by identifying deficiencies early and driving timely corrective actions before they become larger issues. Enforce site safety expectations, promote safe work practices, and maintain a safe working environment for all personnel on site. Review drawings, details, and current construction documents, including digital plans and PDFs, to stay current with design requirements and changes.

Coordinate foundations, underground work, site activities, framing, building enclosure, and subsequent interior and finish scopes. Communicate schedule risks, field issues, and required decisions to the Project Manager and other office-based partners in a timely manner. Work collaboratively with the Project Manager, Assistant Project Manager, Project Engineer, and office team, focusing on field execution while they manage cost and administrative functions.

Build and maintain professional relationships with the client and subcontractor partners to support repeat business and a positive project experience. Conduct or support inspections and ensure work complies with applicable requirements, standards, and client-specific construction guidelines. Document project progress through email, construction management systems, and other digital tools, maintaining clear and accurate records.

Keep the job moving through proactive communication, including direct phone calls and regular field follow-up with trades and stakeholders. Protect and strengthen the client relationship by delivering consistent, high-quality work that positions the company for future projects. Perform limited hands-on field tasks when reasonably needed, such as minor adjustments or small corrective items, to help maintain progress.

Engage actively in the field rather than managing solely from the trailer, staying visible, accessible, and involved with daily jobsite activities. Support future assignments that may include projects in Central Indiana and other regional locations such as Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan, or nearby states, including occasional travel as needed.
