Senior Superintendent - Commercial Construction

Senior Superintendent Commercial Construction

If you're a Superintendent who naturally takes the lead, earns respect on the jobsite, and knows how to build strong teams, this could be your next step. A leading Rockford/Beloit area commercial general contractor is seeking a Senior Superintendent to run large, complex projects and mentor field teams while maintaining high standards for quality and safety.

The Role

As a Senior Superintendent, you will oversee day-to-day construction operations from preconstruction through closeout. You'll serve as the primary on-site leader, responsible for planning, coordination, and execution, while partnering closely with project management to deliver successful projects.

This role is ideal for someone who takes ownership, communicates clearly, and understands how to keep projects moving without unnecessary friction.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all on-site construction activities and field personnel
• Plan and manage project schedules, sequencing, and logistics
• Coordinate subcontractors and trades to maintain productivity and workflow
• Enforce safety standards and ensure compliance with company and regulatory requirements
• Maintain quality control and ensure work aligns with contract documents
• Lead jobsite meetings and communicate effectively with owners, architects, and internal teams
• Mentor and develop assistant superintendents and field staff
• Partner with project managers on schedule impacts, cost control, and risk mitigation
• Drive projects through punch list, commissioning, and closeout

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of experience as a Superintendent on commercial or light-industrial construction projects
• Experience leading large, complex, or multi-phase work
• Strong understanding of construction means and methods across trades
• Proven ability to lead teams, hold accountability, and resolve issues proactively
• Calm, solutions-oriented approach under pressure
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Experience using construction management software such as Procore or similar

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Leadership role on high-quality, meaningful commercial projects
• Company culture built on trust, accountability, and long-term relationships
• Strong partnership between field leadership and project management
• Competitive compensation with bonus potential
• Comprehensive benefits and long-term career stability

This is a role for a Senior Superintendent who wants to make an impact not just run a job but help shape teams and elevate how projects are delivered. If you're looking for a company that values experienced leadership and invests in its people, this opportunity is worth a conversation.
