  • Review and markup shop drawings for structural and finish trades.
  • Build, maintain, and communicate the project schedule, including the critical path, look-ahead schedules, manpower needs, deliveries, and site constraints.
  • Support client, architect, designer, engineer, inspector, and subcontractor communication in the field.
  • Collaborate with PM, APM, PA, and subcontractors to foresee and solve problems.

What we're looking for:
  • 20+ years of construction experience.
  • 10+ years of experience as a carpenter or other trade experience.
  • 5+ years of experience as a Superintendent in high-end custom residential construction.
  • Experience building large custom residential projects, ideally with project budgets in the $10 million to $25 million range.
  • Currently has or has had a GC license and has run your own GC company, and wants to go back to working for someone else.
  • Strong ability to read architectural, structural, civil, and MEP plans and translate them into field execution.
  • Current experience using MS Project, Primavera, Procore, or similar construction management software tools is required.
  • Keen understanding of best practices for construction and building codes.

Benefits:
  • 401(k) with 4% match
  • Dental, vision, and health insurance
  • Paid Holidays
  • Employee assistance program
  • Referral program
