Superintendent Of Construction

Construction Superintendent

Location: Central Connecticut

Employment Type: Contract-to-Hire

Compensation: Highly competitive hourly pay with overtime eligibility

A rapidly growing, well-established construction and engineering firm is seeking experienced Construction Superintendents to lead commercial projects throughout Central Connecticut. This is a true field leadership role-you'll run your own jobs with strong Project Manager and Project Engineer support, real decision-making authority, and a clear path to long-term growth.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy owning your jobsite, and take pride in delivering high-quality work efficiently, this opportunity offers autonomy, consistency, and upward momentum.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Project Variety: Commercial projects typically ranging from $1M-$4M with shorter durations of 2-4 months
• Growth-Oriented Company: Join a firm that's actively scaling with a long-term expansion strategy
• Clear Advancement Path: Strong potential for permanent placement and leadership growth
• Field-First Culture: Entrepreneurial environment where Superintendents are trusted and empowered
• Car Allowance Provided
• Ownership Mentality: Long-term incentives available upon full-time conversion

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Manage all onsite construction activities from mobilization through closeout
• Lead subcontractors, field crews, vendors, and site logistics
• Serve as the primary onsite contact for clients, inspectors, and consultants
• Review and interpret drawings, specifications, permits, and scopes of work
• Plan and execute daily work plans and short-term schedules (3-4 week look-aheads)
• Enforce quality control standards and ensure regulatory compliance
• Maintain daily reports, logs, and documentation using Procore
• Champion jobsite safety and OSHA compliance
• Coordinate inspections, testing, and closeout deliverables
• Proactively identify and resolve field issues in collaboration with Project Management

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as a Construction Superintendent or similar field leadership role
• Strong commercial construction background with projects $2M+
• In-depth knowledge of construction means, methods, sequencing, and logistics
• Ability to confidently read and interpret blueprints and technical documents
• OSHA 30 Certification
• Hands-on experience using Procore
• Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel to project sites across Central Connecticut

Nice-to-Have Experience

• MS Project or similar scheduling tools
• Mechanical systems or renovation project experience
• Experience leading projects $5M+
