Lead Superintendent – Ground-Up Multifamily (Brooklyn)

If you’ve already delivered ground-up multifamily projects in NYC and want to take full ownership with the backing of a stable pipeline and a tight, no-nonsense team, this could be of interest.

You’d be stepping into a lead role on an 8-story, 180,000 SF multifamily development in Brooklyn. Future projects would be across NYC, with an emphasis on Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.

The business itself is a well-established NYC-based GC/CM with a strong track record across affordable housing, market-rate rental, and mixed-use developments. They’ve delivered thousands of units across the city and continue to grow through long-term partnerships, repeat clients, and a consistent pipeline of work already lined up this year, with multiple developers, several of which have long term partnerships in place, feeding them consistent work.

What you’ll be doing

  • Leading all on-site operations for a ground-up multifamily project
  • Coordinating subcontractors, trades, and inspections to keep the job on track
  • Owning schedule, sequencing, and day-to-day problem solving
  • Working closely with PMs and leadership to maintain delivery standards
  • Driving safety, quality, and site performance from start through completion

What you’ll bring

  • 7-10+ years’ experience in construction, with a focus on NYC ground-up projects
  • Proven track record as Lead Superintendent on at least 1 or 2 similar-scale builds
  • Strong understanding of NYC construction processes, sequencing, and logistics
  • DOB Superintendent License (required)

What’s on offer

  • $180,000 – $220,000 base salary (depending on experience)
  • Strong bonus structure tied to performance
  • Stable pipeline with multiple projects starting this year
  • A close-knit team where your input and experience are valued
