Commercial Construction Superintendent/Commercial/General Contractor
Summary:
We are seeking a Commercial Construction Superintendent to lead on-site coordination across multiple active projects. You will own scheduling, subcontractor accountability, quality control, inspections, and job site documentation — from project kickoff through punch list completion. This role requires someone who is organized, direct, and comfortable managing several jobs simultaneously without losing detail on any of them.
This is a salaried, exempt position. Work schedules are driven by project needs and client timelines, and flexibility in hours is part of the job.
What You Will Do:
- Schedule and coordinate subcontractors, consultants, and vendors in critical path sequence- Build the job schedule
- Enforce subcontractor compliance with contracted scope, quality standards, and safety requirements
- Communicate ASIs, RFIs, and material submittals with the project team; escalate conflicts before work deviates from approved plans
- Coordinate required inspections with local jurisdictions
- Maintain daily job logs in BuilderTrend; walk all active projects daily
- Issue notices of non-compliance for quality or scheduling deficiencies
- Manage project close-out and punch list through completion
- Preside at pre-construction meetings and weekly subcontractor coordination meetings, as needed
- Keep job sites clean, organized, and secure, which may entail pushing a broom
- Assist with budgeting, permit coordination, and subcontract award as needed
Secondary Responsibilities:
- Assist with budgeting, bidding, and subcontract awards.
- Help secure permits or revision approvals.
- Maintain approval records on site.
- Identify out-of-scope subcontractor work.
What You Need:
Experience & Skills
- Proven experience (5+ years) as a superintendent on commercial construction projects
- Ability to manage multiple active job sites simultaneously — this is a core expectation, not an occasional ask
- Plan reading: commercial tenant improvement and/or ground-up construction drawings
- Experience scheduling and holding subcontractors accountable to scope, schedule, and quality
- Strong written and verbal communication — every verbal direction to a sub gets backed up in writing
- Track record of maintaining organized, accurate job documentation throughout a project lifecycle
Technology:
- Construction management software — BuilderTrend or similar (Procore, Buildertrend, CoConstruct) — VVC runs BuilderTrend; you must be proficient in Schedule, Daily Log, Change Orders, and Lien Waivers. Ability to produce and manage a Gantt chart schedule is required from day one.
- Plan markup and as-built software — Bluebeam Revu or similar (Adobe Acrobat Pro, Foxit PDF Editor) — used daily for marking up drawings, annotating plans, and maintaining as-built records in the field. Must be comfortable working in PDFs and applying redlines, revisions, and field notes.
- Microsoft Office Suite — Outlook (email and calendar management), Word (letters, notices, documentation), Excel (tracking, budgets, schedules). Proficiency expected — not a training item.

Nice to Have:
- Experience at a commercial GC running $10M+ in annual volume
- Trade background (foreman, journeyman, or laborer) — gives you the language that makes sub coordination easier

Superintendent Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a superintendent in Colorado?
Most superintendent roles in Colorado require a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or a related field, combined with field experience in the relevant trade or project type. Colorado does not issue a single statewide superintendent license, but employers typically expect candidates to hold or obtain a relevant contractor license through the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies. Building a portfolio of completed projects and earning OSHA certification significantly strengthens a candidate's profile.
How much do superintendents make in Colorado?
Superintendents in Colorado earn a median of about $110,530 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $81,340 for the lowest 10% to over $160,940 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire superintendents in Colorado?
Companies currently hiring superintendents in Colorado include RK, Jobot, and Amteck, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Colorado's active construction and school district sectors mean superintendent openings appear regularly across both private general contractors and large public-sector employers throughout the state.
Which Colorado cities have the most superintendent jobs?
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins have the most superintendent openings in Colorado. The Denver metro drives the largest share of demand, fueled by ongoing commercial development, multifamily housing, and infrastructure projects, while Colorado Springs and Fort Collins support a strong mix of institutional and public-sector work tied to military installations, school districts, and municipal utilities.
Are there remote superintendent jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. The superintendent role is fundamentally an on-site position requiring daily oversight of crews, subcontractors, and physical progress. About 13% of superintendent openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those openings are concentrated in preconstruction planning, program management oversight, or district-level administrative roles rather than active field supervision.
How can I get hired as a superintendent in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic path is starting as an assistant superintendent or field engineer with a Colorado-based general contractor. Firms like Mortenson Construction and Hensel Phelps run structured rotational programs that move candidates from project coordination into field supervision over two to four years. Lateral moves from roles such as project engineer, foreman, or site safety coordinator are common entry points, and completing an OSHA 30-hour training or enrolling in the Associated General Contractors of Colorado's apprenticeship pipeline gives early-career candidates a measurable edge.
Where can I find and apply to superintendent jobs in Colorado?
