Position at XL Construction Corp.

Build with Purpose. Lead from the Field.

At XL Construction, we don’t just build outstanding projects — we build careers, communities, and opportunities to grow. We’re seeking a Senior Superintendent to lead field operations on some of the Bay Area’s most impactful projects, with an emphasis on Education and Civic (Public Infrastructure) sectors. As a Senior Superintendent, you’ll be an on-site expert, guiding construction from the ground up and ensuring seamless coordination of teams, materials, and safety. You’ll work closely with Project Managers, trade partners, and clients to deliver results that exceed expectations — on time, on budget, and with excellence.

What You’ll Do

• Develop, maintain, and update detailed Preconstruction and Construction Master Schedules.
• Lead constructability reviews during each design phase to drive value and prevent issues before they arise.
• Create and execute site logistics plans to ensure a clean, safe, and efficient work environment.
• Implement and manage project-specific safety, environmental, and quality programs, upholding XL’s safety-first culture.
• Conduct pre-task planning meetings with key trades before each phase of field work.
• Ensure all permits, inspections, and licenses are secured on schedule.
• Oversee field surveying, layout, and measurement accuracy to maintain construction precision.
• Collaborate with project teams to ensure work plans, sequencing, and resource planning are aligned with project goals and standards.
• Facilitate and actively participate in Owner-Architect-Contractor (OAC) meetings.
• Monitor and evaluate subcontractor performance to ensure quality, timeliness, and compliance — and proactively resolve issues.
• Anticipate field challenges related to schedule, constructability, or logistics and lead timely solutions.
• Manage field operations budget, forecast labor, material, and equipment costs, and contribute to overall cost control.
• Maintain detailed daily logs and progress photos of all site activities.
• Set the tone for professionalism, safety, and ethics across the jobsite.
• Mentor and develop Assistant Superintendents, Field Engineers, and Foremen, sharing knowledge and best practices to build the next generation of construction leaders.
• Foster a positive and respectful work environment through strong relationships with clients, partners, inspectors, and teammates.
  
  

What You Bring

• 5–10 years of construction experience, with a focus on Education (K–12, higher ed, campus upgrades) and Civic projects (municipal buildings, public works, infrastructure).
• Deep field expertise and trade knowledge, gained through hands-on work and/or a Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management or a related field.
• Proven ability to lead field operations on complex projects from start to finish.
• Experience with negotiated client-focused project delivery methods.
• Familiarity with XL Construction’s project management systems and technology platforms.
• Strong planning, scheduling, and decision-making skills.
• Excellent communicator — able to listen, lead, and collaborate across diverse teams.
• A safety mindset, with a track record of maintaining and promoting safe, productive job sites.
