• Use Procore to manage project documentation, daily reporting, photos, schedules, RFIs, and field communication.
• Collaborate with project managers, architects, engineers, ownership, and trade partners to resolve field issues.
• Assist with cost awareness, change management, and budget-related field decisions.
• Lead, mentor, and support field staff while promoting a positive, accountable, and solutions-oriented jobsite culture.
• Provide clear and consistent updates to project stakeholders.

What We’re Looking For

• Several years of progressive field leadership experience as a construction superintendent or in a comparable role.
• Strong experience leading ground-up commercial construction projects.
• Ground-up multifamily residential or senior living construction experience is highly preferred.
• Proven ability to manage subcontractors, suppliers, schedules, quality control, and jobsite safety.
• Strong understanding of construction documents, plans, specifications, building codes, and field coordination.
• Experience using Procore for construction management, project documentation, and reporting.
• Ability to identify problems, make informed field decisions, and keep projects moving forward.
• Strong leadership, organizational, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in an entrepreneurial environment.
• OSHA or other relevant construction safety certifications are preferred.

Compensation & Benefits

• Highly competitive salary.
• Performance-based bonuses.
• 401(k).
• Vehicle allowance.
• Comprehensive medical and dental benefits.
• Long-term career growth opportunities.
• Projects located throughout the Chicagoland area, with no out-of-state travel required.
