DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

  • Minimum 15 years of experience as a Construction Superintendent on commercial high-rise projects within major metropolitan markets.
  • Successfully served as the General Field Superintendent from planning through closeout on at least one luxury or Class A high-rise residential tower in Miami-Dade County. Okay if the others out of State.

YOU WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

  • Vertical concrete construction
  • High-rise logistics and sequencing
  • Crane and hoist operations
  • Site safety and quality management
  • Luxury residential finishes
  • Weather planning and recovery

  • Schedule execution
  • Coordination with owners, architects, engineers, consultants, and municipal agencies

WHY YOU WANT THIS OPPORTUNITY

Technical ability alone is not enough.

This role requires someone who has already navigated the unique challenges of delivering a luxury residential tower in South Florida. Success depends upon understanding the local construction environment, permitting authorities, subcontractor market, inspection requirements, weather impacts, labor availability, and the pace required to keep a project of this magnitude on schedule.

Our client is seeking a leader who can assume responsibility immediately with minimal transition risk.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH:

  • Luxury condominium towers
  • High-rise residential buildings exceeding 50 stories
  • Projects valued in the hundreds of millions
  • Ground-up construction from preconstruction through turnover

If you have successfully led projects of this caliber in Miami-Dade County, we would welcome a confidential conversation. 

Florida Construction Connection specializes in connecting construction management professionals with organizations building the nation's most significant projects.
