The Senior Superintendent at Skanska USA Building is a key operational leader responsible for developing and executing short‑ to mid‑term tactical plans that materially support the organization’s construction strategy. This role contributes to operational planning, budget oversight, process development, and improvements that enhance performance across multiple teams.

Strong communication and influence are essential, as the Senior Superintendent interacts with internal departments, external partners, subcontractors, vendors, and occasionally clients. The role oversees multiple teams or units, ensuring proper staffing, mentoring, performance management, and alignment with organizational goals. On active construction sites, the position requires consistent on‑site presence to supervise operations, uphold safety standards, manage schedules, resolve conflicts, monitor subcontractor performance, and maintain project quality. The job also involves interpreting plans and specifications, managing logistics, mitigating risks, and supporting business development efforts.
This senior leadership role requires extensive experience in construction operations, safety culture, scheduling, risk mitigation, and team development—typically 15+ years in building construction, with substantial time in top‑level leadership across multiple projects.

A bachelor’s degree in construction‑related fields (or equivalent experience) is required, with preferred qualifications including Procore certification, BIM expertise, and familiarity with tools like Revit, OPC, and JD Edwards.
