We're looking for a superintendent who can run multiple job sites at once and keep them all moving — without losing quality or dropping a ball.
We're a commercial and residential roofing contractor working across LA County and Orange County on TPO, PVC, Coatings, modified bitumen/BUR, shingles, tile, and metal systems. This is a pure production role — you own what happens on site, day to day. Estimating and bidding stay elsewhere in the company; your job is field execution, crew supervision, and making sure every site hits schedule and quality standards. You'll report directly to the Production Manager and be the accountability owner across your projects.
What You'll Do
- Oversee 3-5 simultaneous job sites across LA County and Orange County
- Supervise Foremen and crews on site — quality control, progress, and problem-solving (~60% of your time)
- Sequence crews and work across concurrent sites to keep everything on schedule (~20%)
- Represent the company in client meetings on site (~15%)
- Handle reporting and paperwork (~5%)
This Role Is Built For Someone Who
- Has run multiple job sites at the same time and can speak to specifics — not vague generalities
- Has hands-on experience across most of the roofing systems we run: TPO, PVC, Coatings, mod bit/BUR, shingles, tile, and metal
- Has directly supervised Foremen and crews, not just worked alongside them
- Takes ownership of safety and quality
- Is comfortable using field-management software like CompanyCam
Requirements
Must-have:
- OSHA 10 (the other certifications will be provided in-house by our safety officer).
- Proven experience directly supervising Foremen and crews
- Experience managing 3-5+ job sites simultaneously
- Hands-on experience across most of the systems mix above
- Able to work LA County and Orange County projects with a company-provided truck
Nice-to-have (not required):
- First Aid/CPR certification
- CompanyCam or similar field-management software experience
- 5+ years specifically in a superintendent role (vs. adjacent field leadership)
Both commercial and residential backgrounds welcome — 5+ years of superintendent experience is preferred but not a hard cutoff for the right candidate.
Note: We provide a company truck and are open to candidates located in Los Angeles County and Orange County.
Join us as a Roofing Project Superintendent where your leadership will shape successful projects that stand the test of time! We value safety-first practices combined with innovative management strategies to deliver excellence at every stage of the roofing process.
Pay: $80,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- 401(k)
- Dental insurance
- Health insurance
- Vision insurance
Application Question(s):
- Are you comfortable traveling to job sites across Los Angeles County and Orange County?

License/Certification:
- OSHA 10 (Required)
Work Location: In person

Project Superintendent Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a project superintendent in California?
Most project superintendents in California advance through field experience, starting in trades or as an assistant superintendent before taking on full site responsibility. While California does not issue a single mandatory state license for the superintendent title itself, many employers require candidates to hold or work toward a Contractors State License Board credential, and OSHA certifications are standard. A degree in construction management from a California State University campus strengthens candidacy considerably.
How much do project superintendents make in California?
Project superintendents in California earn a median of about $133,160 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $82,100 for the lowest 10% to over $211,970 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire project superintendents in California?
Employers hiring project superintendents in California right now include Holland Partner, W.E. O'Neil Construction Company, and McCarthy Building Companies, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. California's volume of public infrastructure investment and ongoing commercial development means large general contractors and specialty firms maintain consistent superintendent openings across the state year-round.
Which California cities have the most project superintendent jobs?
Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose concentrate the most project superintendent openings in California. Los Angeles drives volume through its dense commercial and mixed-use pipeline, while San Francisco and San Diego reflect the strength of tech campus, life sciences, and public infrastructure projects anchored by both private developers and public agencies active in those metros.
Are there remote project superintendent jobs in California?
Yes, but they're rare. Project superintendent work is fundamentally site-based, requiring daily physical presence to manage subcontractors, inspections, and safety compliance. About 13% of project superintendent openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those tend to cover pre-construction planning, estimating support, or owner-representative oversight rather than active field management.
How can I get hired as a project superintendent in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a field laborer, carpenter, or assistant superintendent role with a mid-size general contractor that builds ground-up commercial or multifamily projects in California. Large contractors including Webcor and Swinerton run structured field development programs where candidates move from assistant to project superintendent over several years. Earning an OSHA 30-Hour card and enrolling in a California State University construction management program while working in the field significantly accelerates that progression.
Where can I find and apply to project superintendent jobs in California?
