This is an opportunity to work on distinctive restaurant projects where quality, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and execution are critical.
We are looking for construction professionals who understand that luxury restaurant construction requires a different level of coordination and finish quality — from complex MEP systems and custom millwork to specialty kitchens, architectural finishes, lighting, and detailed interiors.
The Role
As Superintendent, you will take ownership of the day-to-day field operations on high-end restaurant projects, working closely with the Project Manager, ownership, architects, designers, consultants, and specialty subcontractors.
You will be responsible for coordinating the construction process from mobilization through final completion, ensuring the project is delivered safely, on schedule, and to the exacting standards expected of a luxury hospitality environment.

- Coordinate subcontractors, specialty trades, vendors, and suppliers.

- Oversee installation of custom millwork, stone, tile, flooring, ceilings, lighting, decorative finishes, and specialty features.
- Work closely with architects, interior designers, owners, and consultants to resolve field issues.
- Conduct daily subcontractor coordination and site meetings.
- Review drawings, specifications, shop drawings, and submittals for constructability and coordination.
- Maintain strict quality-control standards throughout construction.
- Coordinate inspections and ensure compliance with applicable codes and project requirements.
- Maintain a strong jobsite safety culture.
- Manage punch list, commissioning, closeout, and turnover.
- Proactively identify potential schedule and coordination issues and develop solutions.
- Represent the GC professionally with clients, designers, and trade partners.
