High-End Residential Construction Superintendent

Superintendent

Custom Residential Construction | Renovations, ADUs, Custom Homes

The Opportunity

This is a field-forward leadership role for a highly skilled finish carpenter who knows custom residential work inside and out. You will run projects day to day, manage trades and clients, and step in hands-on when the job calls for it.

This is not commercial construction. It is not production housing.
This is detail-driven, client-facing, high-quality residential work.

Long term, this role can grow into a Project Manager position for the right person.

What You’ll Be Doing

Project Execution

• Oversee residential renovation, ADU, and custom home projects from active build through closeout
• Maintain schedules, scopes, and daily progress in coordination with ownership
• Perform jobsite walkthroughs, quality checks, and inspections
• Step in hands-on as needed, especially on finish work and problem areas

Subcontractor & Trade Management

• Coordinate and manage subcontractors and specialty trades
• Hold quality standards and sequence work correctly
• Identify issues early and resolve them before they affect schedule or client trust

Client & Communication Management

• Serve as the primary on-site point of contact for homeowners
• Provide clear project updates and set expectations
• Represent the company professionally at all times

Quality & Detail

• Maintain a high bar for finish quality, alignment, fit, and overall craftsmanship
• Catch small issues before they become expensive ones
• Protect the long-term reputation of the company on every project

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience

• 5+ years in custom residential construction
• Strong background as a skilled carpenter, with emphasis on finish carpentry
• Proven experience on renovations, ADUs, and custom homes
• Direct experience managing subs, schedules, and homeowners

This Role Is a Fit If You

• Care deeply about quality and details
• Can lead without ego and communicate clearly
• Are comfortable being less hands-on day to day, but capable of stepping in when needed
• Want to grow into a Project Manager role over time

This Role Is Not a Fit If You

• Come primarily from commercial construction
• Prefer production or tract home environments
• Avoid client interaction or ownership-level accountability

Growth Path

This role sits between a senior carpenter and an Associate Project Manager. As trust, consistency, and project ownership increase, there is a clear path into a Project Manager position.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Long-term growth opportunity within a stable residential builder
• Projects you can be proud to put your name on
• Healthcare, 401k + PTO

Pay: $75,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Health insurance

Work Location: In person
