Job Description - Assistant Director of Field Construction

Assistant Director of Field Operations (Field-Based)
Location: Tomball, TX
Salary: $140,000–$175,000 + performance bonuses
Schedule: Full-Time | 80% Field / 20% Office

About the Opportunity
We are partnering with a fast-growing construction firm seeking a highly experienced Assistant Director of Field Operations to support and elevate their field leadership team. This role is critical to improving efficiency, strengthening project execution, and allow the Director of Construction to focus on strategic initiative. This role is perfect for a seasoned field leader who has spent their career building, troubleshooting, and guiding teams—and who genuinely thrives in a field-first environment.

About the Role
This position will work directly with the Director of Construction, overseeing planning, technical review, and on-site execution across Large Format Parks, Small Specialty Parks, and select Amenity Center projects. Acting as a Senior Superintendent or General Superintendent–level leader, this person will support construction managers, anticipate issues before they become problems, and step in to resolve field challenges quickly and effectively.

This individual will have deep technical understanding of amenity and hardscape construction—including civil work, elevations, and grading. Building/vertical construction experience is not required. Success in this role requires a field-first mindset, mature professionalism, strong communication skills, and the ability to collaborate with architects, inspectors, customers, and internal teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with construction managers to ensure all aspects of projects are planned in advance and executed efficiently
  • Identify potential issues early through technical review and field insight
  • Solve complex on-site problems quickly and independently
  • Oversee field operations for Large Format Parks, Small Specialty Parks, and portions of Amenity Center projects
  • Maintain strong communication with architects, customers, inspectors, and internal teams
  • Support permitting and inspection processes as needed
  • Serve as a senior field leader (Senior Superintendent / General Superintendent level)
  • Report directly to the Director of Construction and alleviate day-to-day field pressures
  • Mentor field staff and strengthen overall field execution and consistency
  • Ensure projects meet quality, schedule, and safety standards

What Were Looking For

  • Extensive background in field construction, ideally in amenity, hardscape, and civil-focused projects
  • Strong knowledge of civil elevations, grading, and technical site work
  • Ability to foresee risks and prevent issues before they impact schedules
  • Skilled at problem-solving without constant office support
  • Experience with permitting, inspections, and working with municipalities (preferred)
  • Comfortable leading client and architect meetings with a steady, professional presence
  • Thrives in a field-based leadership role and prefers staying close to the work
  • Field lifer mentality—hands-on, grounded, and passionate about building

Why This Role Matters
This hire will significantly improve operational efficiency, elevate the performance of construction managers, and enable the Director of Construction to focus on long-term planning and growth. The Assistant Director of Field Operations will become a cornerstone of the organizations field leadership and a critical resource for solving complex challenges across multiple project types.
