About the Opportunity:

A nationally recognized, vertically integrated multifamily real estate developer and operator — with a decades-long track record of delivering high-quality apartment communities across the United States — is seeking an experienced Lead Superintendent to oversee the ground-up construction of a brand-new 330-unit podium wrap development in the Raleigh-Durham, NC metropolitan area.

Position Overview:

The Lead Superintendent will hold full on-site responsibility for the construction of this large-scale multifamily development, from site mobilization through certificate of occupancy and owner turnover. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, highly organized construction professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and leads by example.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Direct and manage all day-to-day on-site construction operations for a 330-unit ground-up podium wrap project
  • Develop, maintain, and enforce the project schedule in coordination with the Project Manager and subcontractors
  • Oversee subcontractor performance, scope compliance, coordination, and sequencing across all trades
  • Ensure full compliance with all federal, state, and local safety regulations; maintain a zero-incident safety culture on site
  • Conduct regular quality control inspections and enforce construction standards consistent with company specifications
  • Manage RFIs, submittals, and field decisions in partnership with the project team
  • Coordinate with local authorities, utility providers, and inspectors to facilitate timely approvals and inspections
  • Lead and mentor assistant superintendents and field staff; promote a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
  • Proactively identify and resolve potential construction issues before they impact schedule or budget
  • Maintain accurate daily construction logs, progress reports, and documentation

Required Qualifications:

  • Minimum 8–12 years of progressive construction experience, with at least 5 years in a lead superintendent or senior superintendent role
  • Demonstrated, verifiable ground-up multifamily construction experience is required — candidates without this background will not be considered
  • Direct experience with podium wrap or similar complex wood-frame over concrete construction strongly preferred
  • Proven ability to manage large-scale projects of 200+ units from site work through closeout
  • Deep knowledge of construction sequencing, means and methods, building codes, and OSHA safety standards
  • Strong subcontractor management skills with a track record of holding trades accountable to schedule and quality
  • Proficiency with construction management software (Procore, Bluebeam, or equivalent) and scheduling tools (MS Project, Primavera, or similar)
  • Exceptional communication, leadership, and organizational skills
  • OSHA 30 certification required; OSHA 10 minimum
  • Must be willing to reside in or relocate to the Raleigh-Durham, NC area

Compensation & Benefits Package:

  • Base salary up to $185,000 (commensurate with experience and qualifications)
  • Performance-based bonus program
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with employer matching
  • Paid time off, holidays, and sick leave
  • Vehicle allowance

How To Apply:

Qualified candidates are encouraged to submit their resume and a brief summary of relevant project experience through this posting. Only candidates with verified ground-up multifamily construction experience as Lead Superintendent or equivalent will be contacted for initial screening.

The hiring company's identity will be disclosed to candidates who advance past the initial application review stage. All inquiries will be handled with strict confidentiality.
