Lead Superintendent | Ground-Up Multifamily | South of Boston

Build it your way. If you want autonomy, ownership, access to leadership, influence, and career growth let's talk.

We're recruiting a Lead Superintendent for a multifamily Developer/General Contractor south of Boston.

This isn't a role where you're one of ten Superintendents on a roster. You'll be the Superintendent. From groundbreaking to Certificate of Occupancy, the job is yours.

Even better, construction hasn't started yet. Groundbreaking is a few months away, giving you the chance to get involved early, plan the site, establish your standards, and set the project up the way you believe it should be run - not inherit someone else's problems.

Why experienced Supers make this move

If you're at Suffolk, Callahan, Shawmut, Dellbrook, Consigli, Columbia, or another large GC, you already know the upside - and the downside.

The projects are impressive, but decisions can take days, meetings fill your calendar, and it's easy to feel like another Superintendent in a large organization.

This is different.

You'll report directly to the COO. He's accessible, makes decisions quickly, and trusts his field team to run the work. There are fewer layers, less bureaucracy, and far more autonomy.

If you like owning your jobs instead of asking permission to run them, you'll probably enjoy this environment.

The project

You'll lead construction of a new 170-unit mixed-use apartment community featuring residential and retail space.

The project includes:

• Full sitework and utilities

• Wood-frame construction on slab

• Ground-up construction from day one

• Built to the new Massachusetts Passive House energy code

This isn't just another apartment building.

Passive House construction demands exceptional planning, coordination, and attention to detail. Once the building envelope starts going up, mistakes become expensive. Your ability to review drawings, identify conflicts early, and coordinate subcontractors will have a direct impact on the project's success.

If you've wanted Passive House experience, this is an opportunity to build a project very few Superintendents get to put on their resume.

Why this role exists

This is a brand-new position.

You're not walking into a troubled project or replacing someone who left.

Our client has spent years developing this project. Design, permitting, and preconstruction are complete. They're now building the construction team that will deliver it.

The honest tradeoff

This isn't a 500-person construction company.

You'll wear more hats, solve more problems yourself, and make more decisions.

In return, you'll have more influence, more ownership, and more opportunity to leave your mark on the project.

When this building is complete, people will know you built it.

What you'll do

• Lead the project from groundbreaking through Certificate of Occupancy

• Build and manage the construction schedule

• Coordinate subcontractors and maintain project momentum

• Drive quality, safety, and production

• Work closely with the COO and Project Manager

• Hire and mentor your own Assistant Superintendent

• Keep communication flowing between the field, office, and ownership team

What we're looking for

• Lead Superintendent experience on a ground-up multifamily project from start to finish

• 10+ years of Superintendent experience

• Massachusetts CSL

• OSHA 30

Nice to have

• Construction Management degree

• Passive House experience

• Wood-frame multifamily experience

• Experience with Trimble ProjectSight

Compensation

• Flexible depending on experience

• Comprehensive benefits

• Company support for Certified Passive House Builder (CPHB) certification

• Long-term opportunity with a developer that continues to build its own projects

Join the Development side

If you have ever wanted to join the development side, this is your chance.

You'll gain exposure to how developers make decisions around design, budget, schedule, and long-term project planning - not just construction.

It's a great opportunity for a Lead Superintendent who wants more influence over the entire development process while still doing what they enjoy most: building great projects.

One more benefit: no daily drive into downtown Boston.


** also, my client has a strong pipeline of future multifamily projects, so this is intended to be a long-term position, not a one-project hire.

If you'd like to learn more, call or text me anytime.

I'm happy to have a confidential conversation and tell you more about the company and the opportunity.
