Junior Construction Superintendent Jobs in Rosharon, TX

Construction Superintendent – Parks & Recreational Construction

Location: Greater Houston Area

Salary: $120,000–$140,000 DOE

Industry: Commercial Construction | Parks | Site Development | Recreational Facilities

About the Company

Our client is a rapidly growing commercial contractor specializing in the construction of parks, recreational facilities, amenity centers, playgrounds, and outdoor community spaces throughout the Greater Houston area. Unlike traditional commercial general contractors, they self-manage highly specialized site development projects that require expertise from raw land through project completion.

They are seeking an experienced Construction Superintendent who can immediately step into a leadership role, manage multiple projects, and become a long-term contributor to a company that values integrity, collaboration, and a family-first culture.

Position Overview

This role is ideal for a Superintendent with a strong background in civil/site construction, structural concrete, grading, drainage, underground utilities, and commercial site development.

The successful candidate will oversee projects from raw land through final completion while coordinating subcontractors, solving field challenges, communicating with owners and architects, and ensuring projects remain on schedule and within budget.

This is not a traditional vertical construction superintendent role. Success requires understanding everything happening below grade just as much as what is built above it.

• Read and interpret civil, grading, drainage, and structural plans.
• Identify field conflicts and develop practical solutions while maintaining project schedules.
• Communicate effectively with owners, architects, engineers, inspectors, and municipal representatives.
• Manage project schedules, quality control, budgets, and daily field operations.
• Conduct regular jobsite inspections and ensure compliance with company standards.
• Mentor junior field staff and assistant superintendents.
• Maintain detailed project documentation and reporting.
