Construction Superintendent

Commercial Construction Superintendent — Tenant Improvement

Location: San Jose, CA

Compensation: Base salary up to $200K + full benefits

Some superintendents manage the schedule. The great ones set the pace , protect the quality, and keep the job moving no matter what the building throws at them.

We’re looking for that kind of superintendent.

This role is with a Tenant Improvement–focused general contractor operating across Class A office, corporate interiors, tech spaces, life‑science conversions, and high‑end commercial buildouts. Projects move fast, clients expect precision, and field leadership is the difference between a smooth turnover and a painful one.

What You’ll Lead

• Day‑to‑day field operations for commercial TI projects from mobilization through punchlist
• Coordination of subcontractors, inspections, deliveries, and site logistics in active, occupied buildings
• Enforcement of safety, quality, and cleanliness standards across all phases of construction
• Short‑interval scheduling, look‑ahead planning, and daily reporting
• Problem‑solving in real time — sequencing, conflicts, unforeseen conditions, and client‑driven changes
• Maintaining strong relationships with building engineers, property managers, and client reps
• Ensuring work is completed to spec, on schedule, and with minimal disruption to tenants

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• 7–15+ years of experience as a Superintendent in commercial TI or interiors construction
• Deep understanding of interior systems: framing, finishes, MEP coordination, life‑safety, and building operations
• Proven success running fast‑paced TI projects in downtown/urban environments
• Ability to lead subcontractors with clarity, urgency, and respect
• Strong communication skills — you keep PMs informed and clients confident
• Comfortable navigating occupied spaces, tight timelines, and shifting priorities
• Tech‑savvy with field management tools (Procore, Bluebeam, PlanGrid, etc.)

Why This Role Stands Out

• Consistent pipeline of negotiated TI work with repeat clients
• Projects with visibility, speed, and complexity — never boring
• Leadership that trusts superintendents to run the field, not micromanage them
• Competitive compensation with a base up to $200K , plus bonus and full benefits
• A culture built around professionalism, accountability, and doing things the right way
