    Description

    Summary
     
    Our client is a well-established, full-service general contractor with a diverse portfolio spanning residential and commercial construction. The company provides comprehensive construction services, including project planning, general contracting, project management, custom home building, multifamily construction, commercial development, and high-end residential work.
    The organization has built its reputation around quality craftsmanship, professionalism, accountability, and delivering projects in a manner that meets or exceeds client expectations.
    We are currently seeking an experienced Site Superintendent to take a lead role on an immediate ground-up residential construction project in Altadena, CA. This is a hands-on field leadership position responsible for overseeing day-to-day construction activities, coordinating subcontractors and vendors, maintaining schedule and quality standards, and ensuring the project progresses safely and efficiently from mobilization through completion.
    The ideal candidate will have a strong background in ground-up residential construction, preferably involving custom, luxury, or architecturally detailed homes. Because this position requires a consistent on-site presence, candidates located within approximately 25 miles of Altadena are strongly preferred due to the significant traffic challenges throughout the Los Angeles area.
     
    Duties & Responsibilities
    • Serve as the primary on-site construction leader and oversee all day-to-day field operations for the project.
    • Manage and coordinate subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, inspectors, and other site personnel to ensure work is completed according to plans, specifications, schedule, and quality expectations.
    • Develop, maintain, and actively manage the project schedule, identifying potential delays or conflicts before they impact critical milestones.
    • Coordinate the sequencing of all trades from site preparation and foundations through framing, roofing, MEP systems, interior finishes, landscaping, and final completion.
    • Conduct daily site walks to monitor progress, workmanship, safety, cleanliness, and overall project organization.
    • Read, interpret, and work from architectural, structural, civil, MEP, and other construction drawings and specifications.
    • Identify design conflicts, constructibility issues, missing information, and potential field problems early and coordinate appropriate resolutions with the Project Manager, architects, engineers, and subcontractors.
    • Coordinate material deliveries and verify that required materials are available when needed to maintain project momentum.
    • Manage and document RFIs, submittals, inspections, field changes, and other project documentation as required.
    • Coordinate required inspections with local building officials and other governing agencies.
    • Maintain consistent communication with the Project Manager and broader project team regarding progress, schedule, manpower, material requirements, quality issues, and potential delays.
    • Conduct subcontractor coordination meetings and clearly communicate upcoming activities, site requirements, sequencing, and expectations.
    • Hold subcontractors accountable for their contractual scope, schedule commitments, workmanship, safety practices, and site cleanliness.
    • Maintain a safe, clean, organized, and professional jobsite at all times.
    • Enforce company safety policies and ensure subcontractors and site personnel comply with applicable OSHA and local safety requirements.
    • Perform quality-control inspections throughout each phase of construction and ensure deficiencies are identified and corrected promptly.
    • Maintain accurate daily reports, progress documentation, photographs, inspection records, punch lists, and other required field documentation.
    • Monitor project progress against established milestones and proactively develop solutions when issues arise.
    • Participate in project closeout activities, including punch-list completion, inspections, commissioning, corrective work, and final turnover.
    • Establish and maintain professional working relationships with owners, architects, designers, consultants, subcontractors, vendors, and other project stakeholders.
    • Represent the company professionally and serve as a strong ambassador for its standards of quality, integrity, and customer service.
    • Take ownership of the project and proactively address issues rather than waiting for problems to escalate.
    Qualification & Requirements
    • 7+ years of progressive construction experience, with significant experience serving as a Site Superintendent or Construction Superintendent.
    • Proven experience managing ground-up residential construction projects from sitework through final completion.
    • Strong preference for candidates with experience in custom, luxury, high-end, or architecturally detailed residential construction.
    • Demonstrated ability to independently manage a jobsite and effectively lead multiple subcontractors and trades.
    • Strong understanding of residential construction sequencing, including sitework, foundations, framing, roofing, waterproofing, MEP systems, drywall, millwork, finishes, landscaping, and final closeout.
    • Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, civil, and MEP plans, specifications, details, and schedules.
    • Strong understanding of construction means, methods, building codes, inspections, and quality-control procedures.
    • Proven ability to develop and maintain construction schedules and keep subcontractors accountable to established milestones.
    • Experience identifying constructability issues and resolving field conflicts before they result in delays or costly rework.
    • Strong knowledge of jobsite safety practices and OSHA requirements.
    • Proficiency with construction management software such as Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Buildertrend, or similar platforms.
    • Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office and the ability to maintain accurate project documentation.
    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with subcontractors, owners, architects, engineers, and internal project teams.
    • Highly organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and capable of managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced construction environment.
    • Must demonstrate strong leadership, accountability, professionalism, and sound judgment.
    • Must be comfortable working in a hands-on, field-based environment and maintaining a consistent presence on the jobsite.
    • Valid California driver's license and reliable transportation.
    • Ability to work on-site in Altadena, CA for the duration of the project.
    • Candidates located within approximately 25 miles of Altadena are strongly preferred due to the demands of the Los Angeles commute.
    • OSHA 30 certification is preferred.
    • Relevant construction management, engineering, architecture, or related education is preferred but equivalent field experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.
    • Experience working on projects involving high-end finishes, demanding architectural details, and discerning clients is highly desirable.
