    Job Description

    About HorizonWorks

    HorizonWorks is a veteran owned construction management and project delivery firm supporting projects across the public and private sectors. We operate as an trusted partner and extension of our clients, focused on execution, accountability, and getting work done right in the field.

    We're a small, hands-on team, which means every person we bring on has a direct impact on our projects and our reputation.

    The Role

    We are looking for a construction superintendent who can take ownership of field operations and drive work forward.

    This is not a sit-back role. You'll be expected to lead from the field, identify issues early, coordinate trades effectively, and keep the job moving.

    What You'll Be Responsible For

    • Lead daily field operations and site coordination
    • Manage subcontractors and enforce work sequencing
    • Monitor quality of work and installation standards
    • Identify and communicate field issues before they become problems
    • Coordinate inspections and resolve conflicts in real time
    • Maintain daily reports and progress tracking
    • Enforce jobsite safety expectations
    • Work closely with the Project Manager to align field execution with schedule and project goals

    What We're Looking For

    • 7–18+ years of construction experience (commercial, mixed-use, or similar)
    • Strong understanding of construction sequencing and field operations
    • Ability to read drawings and catch issues early
    • Proven experience managing subcontractors and holding the accountable
    • Comfortable being the point person in the field
    • Strong communication skills, clear, direct, and professional

    What Sets This Role Apart

    • You won't be buried in layers of management
    • You'll have direct visibility with leadership and clients
    • Your decisions will actually impact the job
    • We value people who can think, act, and solve, not just follow process

    Compensation

    • Salary Range: $75,000 – $200,000 (based on experience)
    • Performance-based bonus
    • Opportunity for growth as the company expands

    Why HorizonWorks

    We're building a team of people who take pride in their work and want to be part of something growing. If you're looking for a role where you can own your work, be respected in the field, and grow with a company, we'd like to talk.
