A bit about us:

Our client is an established construction organization with a strong reputation for delivering quality commercial construction projects. The company is continuing to grow and is looking to add an Assistant Superintendent / Punch List Superintendent to its field team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is earlier in their construction career and wants to build a long-term path in field supervision.

Our client is particularly interested in candidates who have come up through the trades and are ready to take the next step into a supervisory role. Someone who has spent time in the field, understands how work actually gets installed, and wants to move into construction management could be an ideal fit.

This position will work closely with the Superintendent and project team, helping coordinate day-to-day field activities while taking ownership of punch list, closeout, quality control, and project completion.

You don't need to have 15 years of Superintendent experience.

You do need to know construction, be willing to learn, and have the drive to become the person running the jobsite down the road.

Why join us?

This company offers an opportunity to get your foot in the door with an established construction organization while developing the skills needed to advance your career in field operations.

You'll have the opportunity to:
Work directly alongside experienced Superintendents and project leadership
Learn the ins and outs of running a commercial construction project
Gain hands-on experience with scheduling, coordination, quality control, and closeout
Take ownership of punch list and project completion activities
Coordinate subcontractors and help keep field activities moving
Develop relationships with subcontractors, vendors, owners, and project team members
Build experience reading plans, tracking progress, and identifying field issues
Transition your trade experience into a broader construction leadership role
Develop the skills necessary to progress toward a Superintendent position
Work on active commercial construction projects
Join a team that values people who understand construction from the field up

This is a particularly strong opportunity for someone who has spent time actually building things and is ready to move to the other side of the hard hat.

If you've been a carpenter, electrician, plumber, mason, or another construction trade and have started thinking, "I could run this job," this could be the next step.

5 Questions You Should Ask During the Interview

Here are 5 questions we think you could ask during your interview. Use them as a guide to help you write your own questions.

Remember: Always have at least 5 questions prepared for the interview. If you do not, you run the risk of looking unprepared.

What does success look like in this role, and how is it measured?

Why ask this? You want to ensure you have a clear understanding of expectations before accepting the role. Knowing how success is measured helps you hit the ground running and avoid surprises about performance evaluations. It also signals to the employer that you're results-driven.

Can you describe the team dynamic and the company culture?

Why ask this? Skills and experience matter, but if the work environment isn’t a good fit, you won’t be happy or productive. This question helps you gauge whether the company values collaboration, how teams interact, and whether the culture aligns with your work style and values.

What are the biggest challenges facing the person in this role right now?

Why ask this? Every job has challenges, and it’s better to know them upfront. This helps you assess whether the role is a good fit for your strengths and whether the company is realistic about its expectations. If they hesitate to answer, it could be a red flag.

How does the company support work-life balance and employee well-being??

Why ask this? Burnout is real, and some companies expect employees to sacrifice personal time for the job. By asking this, you’ll get a sense of how they value work-life balance, flexibility, and well-being—things that are crucial for job satisfaction and long-term success.

These questions help you make an informed decision while also showing your professionalism and strategic thinking!
