Job Description

Job Title: Superintendent Commercial & Multifamily Construction

Location: Greater Cleveland / Northeast Ohio (On-site)

Pay: $70,000 – $100,000 Annually (Based on experience)

Job Type: Full-Time

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.

Role Overview

The Superintendent will own day-to-day field operations for commercial and multifamily construction projects from site mobilization through final closeout. This role is responsible for on-site execution — directing trades and self-perform crews, holding the schedule, and maintaining a safe, productive, and well-organized job site.

The Superintendent will work closely with project management to keep field execution aligned with the project schedule, budget, and plans, running work that ranges from office and retail build-outs to ground-up multifamily developments. Ground-up projects require hands-on familiarity with site work and full construction sequencing from the ground up.

Ideal candidates are field leaders who can run a job site independently, hold subcontractors accountable, and consistently deliver projects on time and to standard.

Core Responsibilities

• Manage all on-site field operations from mobilization through final closeout
• Direct and coordinate subcontractors, vendors, and self-perform crews daily
• Run projects across office build-outs, retail build-outs, and ground-up multifamily
• Oversee site work and ground-up sequencing on new construction projects
• Develop, maintain, and enforce the project schedule and look-ahead planning
• Enforce job-site safety, quality control, and code compliance at all times
• Coordinate inspections, material deliveries, and trade sequencing to keep work on track
• Partner with the Project Manager to align field execution with budget and project plans
• Maintain daily logs, track progress, and report on schedule and field issues
• Drive punch list, closeout, and turnover activities

Required Background

• 5+ years of construction field experience, including time as a Superintendent or a strong Assistant/Lead Superintendent ready to step up
• Hands-on experience running commercial work — office and retail build-outs or tenant improvements
• Ground-up construction experience, including site work, strongly preferred
• Ground-up multifamily project experience is a strong plus
• Comfortable managing projects ranging from a few hundred thousand up to $30M
• Ability to build from plans, manage trades, and hold cost and schedule on-site
• Strong communication skills and confidence directing subcontractors in the field
• Ability to work on-site across the Greater Cleveland and Northeast Ohio market

Compensation & Perks

• Base salary range of $70,000 to $100,000 depending on experience
• Potential project-based performance bonus
• Stable local project work with no extensive travel
• Lean team environment with high autonomy and visibility
• Long-term growth opportunities as the organization expands
