The successful candidate will provide overall site leadership, coordinate field operations, and ensure work is completed in accordance with approved plans, specifications, schedules, budgets, and quality standards. This role will involve supervising project superintendents, subcontractors, foremen, and site personnel while maintaining a strong focus on safety, productivity, and client satisfaction.
Key responsibilities include developing and managing site logistics, construction sequencing, manpower planning, and short- and long-term schedules. You will monitor progress, identify risks, resolve field issues, and coordinate activities among construction teams, consultants, suppliers, and other stakeholders. The General Superintendent will review drawings and specifications, support procurement and material planning, lead regular coordination and progress meetings, and ensure accurate reporting of project status.
