Field Superintendent - 45 Units in Mason City

Description

We are seeking an experienced Field Superintendent to lead day-to-day field operations for our Mason City, Iowa project: a new 45-unit affordable senior housing community designed to serve income-qualified households. The development will include 15 one-bedroom units, 30 two-bedroom units, and an underground parking garage, creating a high-quality residential community that supports Mason City’s continued growth and housing needs.

This is a key role for a superintendent who can independently manage site activities, coordinate subcontractors, uphold safety and quality standards, and keep the project moving on schedule and within budget. The ideal candidate is hands-on, organized, proactive, and confident serving as the primary field leader on a stand-alone jobsite.

If the successful candidate is local, this may be a one and done project unless you are open to traveling to MN, IA or WI area. 

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate and supervise subcontractors, vendors, inspections, and daily work sequencing.
• Maintain project schedule and proactively identify risks to production, quality, and deadlines.
• Enforce site safety expectations and ensure compliance with company policies and OSHA standards.
• Monitor workmanship and verify that construction meets plans, specifications, and quality expectations.
• Work closely with the Project Manager to communicate progress, schedule updates, and field issues.
• Lead site meetings, document daily reports, and maintain organized jobsite records.
• Resolve field conflicts quickly and professionally while keeping the project team aligned.
• Support successful project turnover, punch list completion, and closeout activities.
