Job Description

Construction Superintendent – Restaurant Construction

Employment Type: Full-TimeOpportunities: Local and Traveling Superintendent Positions (Southeast Florida)Industry: Commercial Construction / Restaurant Construction

Position Overview

We are seeking experienced Commercial Construction Superintendents with General Contractor experience, preferably with a strong background building restaurants.

The Superintendent will be responsible for the complete field execution of an assigned project from preconstruction and mobilization through final completion and turnover. This is a true supervisory position focused on managing subcontractors, maintaining the construction schedule, ensuring quality and safety, coordinating inspections, and delivering projects successfully.

The General Contractor does not self-perform construction work. Superintendents are responsible for coordinating and supervising subcontractors and ensuring that each trade completes its work according to the project plans, specifications, schedule, and quality expectations.

Superintendents are typically assigned to one project from start to finish, providing direct ownership and accountability throughout the project lifecycle.

Manage day-to-day field operations from project startup through turnover

Coordinate subcontractors, manpower, sequencing, materials, equipment, and deliveries

Monitor subcontractor installations for compliance with plans, specifications, codes, and project standards

Identify unacceptable or deficient work and coordinate corrective action

Inspect rough-ins, finishes, dimensions, equipment locations, and other critical construction details

Coordinate required building and trade inspections

Maintain an ongoing punch list throughout construction rather than waiting until project completion

Ensure completed work meets client expectations before turnover

Quality control is an ongoing field responsibility, with Superintendents expected to inspect work as it is installed and address deficiencies promptly.

Maintain a safe, clean, organized, and professional jobsite

Enforce applicable safety requirements and jobsite procedures
