️ Real Estate Developer | High-Rise & Ground-Up Construction | Local Projects

We're partnered with a well-established Chicago real estate Developer that's looking to add a Superintendent to its growing construction team.

What makes this opportunity unique is the company's involvement throughout the entire real estate lifecycle — they develop, build, and lease their own properties . With ownership, development, and construction closely aligned, the field team benefits from more streamlined decision-making and direct access to the people behind each project.

The majority of their portfolio consists of ground-up multifamily and high-rise developments , alongside a diverse mix of commercial interiors, hospitality, restaurant, data center, and other specialty projects . For a Superintendent, this means the opportunity to lead major builds while still gaining exposure to a variety of construction types.

The pipeline is a major selling point. They have several exciting projects underway, multiple future phases already planned, and additional developments on the horizon , providing long-term stability and plenty of opportunity to take on increasingly complex projects.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Lead day-to-day field operations from mobilization through final turnover
• Manage subcontractors, field personnel, site logistics, and project schedules
• Coordinate closely with Project Managers, ownership, architects, and trade partners
• Drive safety, quality control, inspections, and overall jobsite performance
• Manage short-term scheduling and ensure milestones remain on track
• Identify and resolve field issues before they impact schedule or budget
• Help mentor Assistant Superintendents and other members of the field team

What They're Looking For:

• Superintendent experience with a General Contractor or Developer
• Strong ground-up construction experience
• Multifamily, high-rise, or other large-scale commercial construction experience preferred
• Strong scheduling, subcontractor management, and field leadership skills
• Ability to independently take ownership of projects and drive them through completion
• Someone looking for a long-term opportunity with a strong pipeline of future work

Compensation & Benefits:

• $150K–$170K base salary
• Lucrative bonus potential
• ️ Opportunity to lead major ground-up, high-rise developments
• Multiple upcoming phases and a strong pipeline of future projects
• Direct exposure to the Developer/Owner side of the business
• Long-term career growth as the construction team continues to expand
• All Chicagoland projects — no travel required
• Downtown Chicago-based company

If you're a Superintendent looking for major ground-up projects, a strong long-term pipeline, and the opportunity to work directly for the company developing and building its own properties , I'd love to tell you more.
