J & J Construction is seeking a hands‑on Working Superintendent who can run commercial construction projects in the field while also self‑performing carpentry and related trade work as needed. This role is ideal for a leader who is equally comfortable managing subcontractors, coordinating with airport/owner representatives, and picking up tools to keep production moving.

This is not a desk superintendent role. We are looking for someone who leads from the front, drives schedule, enforces standards, and fills gaps in the field when necessary.

Field Leadership & Project Execution

• Lead day‑to‑day field operations on commercial construction projects.
• Manage subcontractors to ensure quality, safety, and schedule compliance.
• Develop and maintain short‑interval schedules and 3‑week look‑aheads.
• Coordinate inspections, testing, and owner/airport requirements.
• Conduct daily site walks and enforce quality control standards.
• Maintain site organization, logistics planning, and material flow.
• Proactively identify and solve field issues before they impact schedule or cost.

Self‑Perform Work

• Perform and/or assist with carpentry and general trades work including framing (metal/wood), blocking and backing, doors, frames, and hardware installation, millwork and finish carpentry, light demolition and punch‑out, temporary protection and site logistics.
• Support production during critical schedule periods.
• Assist with layout and minor field modifications as required.

Safety & Compliance

• Enforce company safety policies and site‑specific safety plans.
• Conduct toolbox talks and maintain a safe jobsite.
• Ensure compliance with airport, federal, and local regulations.
• Maintain proper documentation (daily reports, incident reports, etc.).

Communication & Documentation

• Submit accurate daily reports with manpower, production, and issues.
• Coordinate with Project Managers and office staff.
• Track field quantities and assist with change order documentation.
• Participate in project meetings with clients and inspectors.
• Represent J & J Construction professionally at all times.

• 7+ years of commercial construction field experience.
• 3+ years in a Superintendent or Lead Foreman role.
• Strong carpentry background with the ability to self‑perform work.
• Experience in airport or secure environment projects preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and schedules.
• Strong leadership and communication skills.
• OSHA 30 certification preferred.
• Willingness to travel (airport projects nationwide).

• Takes ownership of the project.
• Leads by example and works alongside crews when needed.
• Strong work ethic and high accountability.
• Schedule‑driven and solution‑oriented.
• Comfortable in fast‑paced, operational environments (airports).
• No ego — focused on getting the job done right.

• Ability to lift 50+ lbs.
• Ability to work on ladders, lifts, and active construction sites.
• Able to perform physical carpentry tasks daily when required.

• Competitive salary (based on experience)
• Travel compensation
