Senior Superintendent

Superintendent / Senior Superintendent
Location: Miami Beach / Palm Beach corridor, FL
Industry: High-End Residential Construction (Ground-Up Custom)
Reports To: Director of Field Operations

About the Opportunity
An established South Florida luxury residential builder with a 15-year track record is expanding its field team. The firm builds ground-up custom estates and high-end condominium projects for discerning private clients, working alongside nationally recognized architects and interior designers.
Projects are deliberately grouped between Palm Beach and Miami Beach, with a recent push deeper into Miami — so you are not living on I-95.
Current and upcoming work includes:

• 30,000 SF ground-up estate — approximately $50M, two stories, two wings
• 15,000 SF ground-up custom home
• 10,000 SF high-end condominium — $17M–$18M

These are healthy-budget projects with unusually complete and detailed drawing sets. Every element is intentional.

What You'll Own

• Run the site day to day from precon through certificate of occupancy
• Coordinate all trades and resolve field conflicts before they escalate to the office
• Own the 2–3 week lookahead and participate directly in the master schedule process
• Review and approve shop drawings and submittals; assess constructability before work is released
• Perform layout and verify installed work in the field against drawings, shop drawings, and submittals
• Maintain daily logs, photo documentation, and RFI tracking in Procore
• Enforce quality standards on high-end finishes and custom details
• Manage manpower planning and hold trade partners accountable to schedule and scope
• Mentor and develop assistant superintendents and junior field staff

Field structure:

These jobs are intentionally well-staffed. The larger estate runs a Senior Superintendent, two Superintendents, and two Assistant Superintendents — one Superintendent per floor, with assistants covering wings and exterior coordination. You are not stretched thin across everything.

What We're Looking For
Hard Requirements

• Proven ground-up high-end residential experience — ideally at least one project delivered from precon through CO
• Strong construction fundamentals: sequencing, layout, means and methods, trade coordination
• Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, MEP, and shop drawings at a detailed level
• Scheduling capability — Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project preferred; must be a real contributor to the schedule, not a passive recipient
• Procore proficiency; genuinely organized and disciplined with documentation
• Comfortable in the details on projects where finishes, alignment, and craftsmanship are non-negotiable

Preferred

• Bilingual (English / Spanish)
• Degree or industry certification — viewed as a signal of commitment, not a requirement
• Experience mentoring assistant superintendents or foremen

Cultural Requirements — Non-Negotiable

• Humble, hungry, smart. This is how leadership describes every long-tenured person here.
• Teachable. Years of experience are expected — so is willingness to learn this firm's way of building. "My way or the highway" does not work here.
• Operator, not a check-in. You make decisions and run your site without calling the office over every issue.
• Collaborative and respectful. The ability to get trades working together is valued as highly as technical knowledge.
• Starts with the end in mind. Anticipates what's coming three weeks out, not what's on fire today.

Team Structure
Superintendents and Project Managers operate as peers — the PM does not sit above the Super. Superintendents report to the Director of Field Operations; Project Managers report to the Director of Project Management. Both functions are led by long-tenured leaders promoted from within.

Growth Path
The firm runs a defined internal growth matrix. People here have moved from laborer to field engineer to assistant superintendent to superintendent to senior superintendent within a mid-size team, nearly 1/3rd have 10+ years of tenure. Leadership is actively building the next layer of field operators — this role has a clear runway.

Tools & Systems

• Procore (daily logs, drawings, RFIs, photo documentation)
• Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project
• 2–3 week lookahead scheduling
• Microsoft Office / Google Suite
