Construction Superintendent Full Time

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
