Construction Superintendent

Posting Description

You’re at your best when leading all phases of site construction—from breaking ground, through infrastructure and vertical construction, to final inspections and move‑in. You oversee all on‑site activity, including scheduling, supervising trades, quality inspections, and maintaining compliance with safety standards. You’re skilled at reading and interpreting plans, scopes of work, and specifications, and ensuring every detail is executed to high standards.

You’re comfortable coordinating complex workflows, directly managing multiple team members, and keeping projects on schedule—especially when collaborating with peers, other departments, subcontractors, and volunteers. You support your fellow team members—Project Manager, Project Engineer, and site staff—by ensuring communication is clear, timelines are met, and challenges are proactively addressed. You’re excited to contribute to Habitat for Humanity’s mission by delivering high‑quality homes safely, efficiently, and on‑time.
