Senior Site Superintendent / Project Manager - Residential Construction

AlphaHire

We are hiring an experienced Senior Site Superintendent / Project Manager to lead complex residential construction projects throughout the Boston area.

We are specifically looking for a senior field leader who can independently manage two to three active projects from mobilization through final turnover. The right candidate will have direct experience with ground-up multifamily construction, historic brownstone renovations, full-gut remodels, or other complex urban residential projects.

This is not an Assistant Superintendent position. You will be responsible for daily field operations, subcontractor performance, project schedules, inspections, safety, quality, documentation, and communication with ownership and project stakeholders.

The ideal candidate understands the challenges of building in Boston, including older structures, limited site access, occupied neighborhoods, permitting requirements, structural discoveries, and high-end finish expectations.

Responsibilities

  • Lead daily field operations across two to three active Boston-area construction projects
  • Manage projects from mobilization and startup through punch list, turnover, and final closeout
  • Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, inspectors, consultants, utilities, and internal project teams
  • Develop and maintain project schedules, look-ahead plans, sequencing, deliveries, and site logistics
  • Review drawings, specifications, scopes of work, RFIs, submittals, and field documentation
  • Monitor jobsite progress, safety, quality, budget considerations, and subcontractor performance
  • Identify structural, constructability, scheduling, and coordination issues before they delay the project
  • Lead subcontractor meetings, jobsite walks, inspections, progress reviews, and punch-list completion
  • Maintain clear communication with ownership, clients, architects, subcontractors, and other stakeholders
  • Ensure projects are completed safely, professionally, and in accordance with quality and schedule expectations

Requirements

  • 10+ years of construction experience, including significant responsibility for residential field operations
  • Proven experience independently managing projects as a Superintendent, Senior Superintendent, or field-focused Project Manager
  • Strong background in ground-up multifamily, brownstone renovation, full-gut residential renovation, or urban residential construction
  • Ability to manage multiple active projects without constant oversight
  • Strong knowledge of construction sequencing, subcontractor coordination, inspections, safety, and quality control
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, structural plans, specifications, and construction documents
  • Experience managing projects from initial mobilization through final completion and closeout
  • Strong leadership, communication, organization, documentation, and field problem-solving skills
  • Ability to travel between active jobsites throughout the Boston area

Benefits

  • $120,000–$160,000 base salary, based on experience
  • Performance-based bonus opportunity
  • Health insurance and benefits package
  • Paid time off
  • Additional company-sponsored benefits
  • Opportunity to lead complex and highly visible residential projects throughout Boston

This opportunity is ideal for a senior construction professional who can lead from the field, maintain control across multiple projects, and consistently deliver high-quality work without requiring constant direction.
