Healthcare Construction Superintendent

Charleston, SC

Solid Rock Recruiting is working with a long-term client in the Charleston area that is looking to add an experienced Healthcare Construction Superintendent to their team.

This is a long-term opportunity with an established specialty subcontractor that is continuing to grow its healthcare division. They have major hospital work in the Charleston market, with additional projects already in the pipeline.

This role is a little different from a traditional Superintendent position. You will still be heavily involved in the field, coordinating trades, maintaining the schedule, and making sure work is being completed safely and correctly. However, there is also a strong focus on project coordination, documentation, communication, and working closely with the project team.

The ideal candidate is someone who understands healthcare construction, can confidently manage field operations, and is comfortable handling the project documentation and communication that comes with complex hospital work.

What You'll Be Doing

• Oversee day-to-day construction activities on major healthcare projects
• Coordinate subcontractors, field personnel, and MEP trades
• Work closely with the existing field team to keep the project on schedule
• Review plans and identify potential issues before they impact the project
• Track and manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, daily reports, and other project documentation
• Coordinate drywall, metal framing, rated wall assemblies, and other specialty interior construction
• Help coordinate specialized healthcare construction, including MRI room assemblies and related systems
• Communicate with clients, ownership, subcontractors, and other project stakeholders
• Utilize Procore and other construction software to track project progress and documentation
• Assist with project setup and mobilization prior to the start of construction
• Maintain a strong focus on safety, quality, schedule, and productivity
• Help bridge communication between the field and project management teams

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of commercial construction experience
• Previous healthcare or hospital construction experience is required
• Experience as a Superintendent, Senior Superintendent, General Superintendent, or similar construction leadership role
• Strong understanding of commercial construction and field operations
• Experience with drywall, metal framing, or commercial interior construction is strongly preferred
• Understanding of rated wall assemblies and healthcare construction requirements
• Experience coordinating multiple trades and subcontractors
• Comfortable with RFIs, submittals, change orders, scheduling, and project documentation
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Ability to work effectively with clients, subcontractors, field personnel, and project stakeholders
• Comfortable splitting your time between the field and a project trailer/office
• Ability to work onsite full-time in the Charleston area

Software Experience

Experience with the following is preferred:

• Procore
• On-Screen Takeoff
• Construction management software
• Change order management systems

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is more than a single-project opportunity.

The company is actively growing its healthcare division, with additional hospital projects already in the pipeline. The right person will have the opportunity to grow with the division and take on additional responsibility as the company continues to expand.

You will also be brought on before the project begins, giving you the opportunity to get familiar with the plans, team, schedule, and expectations before construction gets underway.

• Long-term opportunity with an established company
• Growing healthcare construction division
• Major hospital projects in the pipeline
• Existing field personnel already in place
• Opportunity for long-term career growth
• Relocation assistance may be considered for the right candidate

Interested?

If you have healthcare construction experience and are open to hearing about a new opportunity, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation and give you more information.
