Required Experience
Applicants must have:
- Minimum 7+ years of commercial construction experience.
- Proven experience managing multifamily podium (Type III over Type I) projects.
- Experience on projects with concrete podium decks, wood framing, waterproofing, elevators, MEP coordination, and life safety systems.
- Ability to manage project schedules, subcontractors, inspections, and daily field operations.
- Strong knowledge of OSHA safety requirements and jobsite safety management.
- Experience using Procore (preferred).
- Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, RFIs, ASIs, and submittals.
Responsibilities
- Manage all day-to-day field operations from mobilization through project closeout.
- Coordinate and supervise all subcontractors to maintain schedule and quality.
- Develop and maintain three-week look-ahead schedules.
- Coordinate inspections with city officials and third-party inspectors.
- Work closely with the Project Manager, ownership, architects, engineers, and consultants.
- Identify conflicts before they impact the schedule and proactively develop solutions.
- Maintain project documentation, daily reports, safety logs, and quality control inspections.
- Ensure all work complies with project plans, specifications, and building codes.
- Manage punch lists and turnover through project completion.
- Lead weekly subcontractor coordination meetings.
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is someone who:
- Takes ownership of the project.
- Holds subcontractors accountable.
- Communicates professionally with owners, consultants, and trade partners.
- Solves problems instead of creating them.
- Is organized, proactive, and detail-oriented.
- Can maintain schedule without sacrificing quality.
- Leads by example and keeps the jobsite clean, safe, and productive.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Performance bonus opportunities.
- Vehicle allowance/company vehicle (based on position).
