Construction Superintendent in New York

Job Description

About the Company

We are a leading New York City-based general contractor specializing in ground-up residential construction, delivering high-rise and mid-rise developments across the five boroughs. From foundations to final punch list, we run our jobsites with discipline, transparency, and a genuine commitment to getting our field teams what they need to succeed.

About the Role

As our project pipeline continues to grow, we're looking for a Construction Superintendent to lead the day-to-day execution of one of our active NYC developments. This is a role for a superintendent who wants real ownership of a jobsite — not someone managing from a trailer buried in paperwork, but someone who's out on the deck every day, running the schedule, coordinating trades, and solving problems before they become delays.

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day field operations for a ground-up high-rise or mid-rise residential project, from site mobilization through substantial completion and closeout
• Develop, maintain, and drive the project schedule in coordination with the project management team, keeping trades sequenced and on pace
• Coordinate and supervise subcontractors on-site, holding trades accountable to schedule, quality, and safety standards
• Run and lead weekly OAC (owner-architect-contractor) meetings, subcontractor coordination meetings, and daily field huddles
• Identify and resolve field conflicts, RFIs, and constructability issues in real time, working closely with the project engineer and architect
• Enforce jobsite safety standards and support the safety team in maintaining a compliant, incident-free site
• Manage site logistics, material deliveries, hoisting/crane schedules, and DOB inspections specific to high-rise and mid-rise vertical construction
• Track and report daily progress, manpower, and schedule status to the project management team
• Mentor assistant superintendents and field engineers, building bench strength for future projects
• Partner with the safety and quality teams to ensure the project is delivered on time, on budget, and to spec

Qualifications

• 7+ years of construction superintendent experience in NYC, with direct experience on ground-up high-rise and/or mid-rise residential projects
• Strong working knowledge of NYC DOB processes, inspections, and code requirements
• Proven ability to read and coordinate off construction drawings, specs, and structural/MEP plans
• Hands-on experience managing structural steel or concrete superstructure phases, curtain wall/façade installation, and interior fit-out sequencing
• A track record of running projects on schedule and keeping subcontractors accountable without unnecessary friction
• OSHA 30 certification (required); Site Safety Manager (SST) license a plus
• Strong leadership presence — this role requires someone who can command a jobsite and earn trust fast
• Proficiency with scheduling and project management software (Procore, Primavera P6, MS Project, or similar)

Required Skills

• Experience on Local Law 97-compliant or high-performance residential buildings
• Existing relationships with NYC-area subcontractors and trade unions
• Background progressing from assistant superintendent to superintendent within a similar GC environment

Skills

• None specified

Pay range and compensation package

Salary: $165,000–$195,000, commensurate with experience

• 401(k) with 3% Safe Harbor match
• 20 days PTO plus paid holidays
• Access to comprehensive health plans
• Real ownership of high-visibility NYC developments, backed by a project management team that actually supports the field
• A clear path to Senior Superintendent or General Superintendent as our project volume grows
