Company Introduction

This position is with a Cleveland-area based general contractor and developer that delivers commercial and multifamily construction projects throughout Northeast Ohio. The company operates as a hands-on builder, self-performing work and managing projects directly rather than acting as an owners representative or consulting firm.

The organization focuses on ground-up commercial construction, tenant improvements, and large-scale multifamily developments. With a lean structure and strong local presence, the company emphasizes accountability, quality execution, and long-term relationships. Team members are given meaningful responsibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to grow as the business continues to scale.

The Superintendent works closely with the Project Manager to ensure projects are executed according to plan, while independently managing day-to-day site operations. This position requires a hands-on leader who can run jobs with minimal oversight, maintain strong control of site logistics, and hold subcontractors accountable to schedule and quality expectations.

Ideal candidates are experienced field leaders who take pride in ownership of their projects and are comfortable being the primary authority on-site.
