Project Superintendent Jobs in Maryland

PROJECT MANAGER /SUPERINTENDENT

Pondosa Projects helps motivated property owners and organizations breathe new life into Baltimore's beautiful old buildings — creating real economic value and changing the narrative about our city. We are a lean, fast-growing construction firm rooted in Baltimore's Waverly neighborhood.

Our work is guided by four core values — Tethered in Truth, Resilient Under Pressure, Urban by Design, and Engaged in Customer Success (T.R.U.E.) — and we hire people who live them.

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager / Superintendent to lead exciting revitalization projects across Baltimore City and other urban communities throughout Maryland. This is a hands-on leadership role where your work will be visible, meaningful, and lasting.

What You'll Own

• Independently manage multiple complex projects valued from $200,000 to $5 million — including restaurants, retail, educational spaces, adaptive reuse, multifamily, and high-end residential renovations.
• Use Buildertrend to coordinate all aspects of construction: preconstruction, scheduling, material takeoffs, subcontractor hiring and oversight, quality control, client communications, and regulatory compliance.
• Read and translate blueprints and specifications into actionable scopes of work and communicate clearly with workers of varied backgrounds.
• Maintain high-touch communication with clients, neighbors, and community stakeholders throughout every project.
• Cultivate relationships with new subcontractors and suppliers to support current projects and fuel company growth.
• Maintain clean, orderly, and safe work areas at all times.
• Collaborate with staff to build a catalog of known expenses that sharpens our estimating process.
• Mentor assistant project managers and interns as the team grows.
• Hire and supervise an in-house carpentry crew.

What We're Looking For

• 3–5 years of construction project management and/or superintendent experience, preferably on urban renovation projects in Baltimore City.
• A thorough understanding of standard residential and commercial construction practices and procedures, and the ability to accurately interpret construction drawings in the field to facilitate efficient building operations.
• Proven ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously while tracking financial performance and making adjustments as needed.
• Experience with Buildertrend or a comparable project management platform.
• Top level, proactive communication, owning their projects, and never leaves a client guessing.
• A genuine connection to Baltimore and belief that older buildings deserve a second life.
• Someone with their own vehicle, preferable a truck or van, who lives locally and is able to visit multiple locations daily.
• A professional appearance and demeanor that exudes confidence and capability.
• Experience and comfort doing light carpentry work and other site-specific tasks as needed to expedite our construction processes.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary commensurate with experience. Target starting salary range is $70,000 to $100,000.
• Up to $30,000 in annual performance and referral bonuses.
• Full benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision, 401(k), gas card, and professional development.
• A clear growth path — the right person will have the opportunity to advance to Senior Project Manager and/or Director of Construction as the company scales.
• The chance to work alongside some of Baltimore's most respected community builders — past clients include Ekiben, The Found Studio, Velocipede Bike Project, Metro Gallery, Souvlaki, Jem's Cafe, Patterson Park Academy of Music, and more.
