Lead Superintendent

New York City | Award-Winning General Contractor

A highly regarded New York-based General Contractor is seeking an experienced Lead Superintendent to take ownership of high-end, technically complex projects across the city. Recognised multiple times as a top-performing contractor in the NYC market, this firm has built an outstanding reputation for delivering sophisticated interiors for some of the most demanding clients globally.

Their portfolio spans leading law firms, hedge funds, financial institutions, and global technology companies, where attention to detail, discretion, and flawless execution are critical to success.
 

Why This Role Is Different

This opportunity offers the chance to join a contractor with exceptional credibility and a strong presence in the New York market, supported by a loyal, blue-chip client base and a consistent pipeline of repeat work. Projects are fast-paced and detail-driven, focused on high-end commercial interiors rather than standardised construction. The leadership team places a high level of trust in its superintendents, empowering them to take ownership of projects while providing full support when needed. With a strong backlog of Class A interior projects, this role offers both stability and continued exposure to high-calibre work.  


Responsibilities include

You will lead all on-site operations across high-end interior projects, taking full responsibility for execution from start to finish. This includes managing multiple trades within tight and logistically complex New York environments, while maintaining close coordination with project managers, building management teams, and client representatives. You will ensure strict control over schedule, quality, safety, and overall site presentation, setting the standard for delivery across projects. In addition, you will mentor and guide field staff, fostering a high-performance culture, and act as a confident and professional representative of the business when engaging with clients and stakeholders.


Ideal Background


You will have a proven track record operating as a Lead or Senior Superintendent on projects within New York City, with a strong understanding of local building codes, DOB requirements, and the complexities of interior fit-out work. You are highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to remain composed in high-pressure environments. A professional presence is essential, with the ability to engage effectively with senior stakeholders, including executives, landlords, and end users.

Compensation & Benefits

This role offers a base salary of up to $275,000, complemented by a performance-based bonus. The package includes comprehensive benefits such as medical, dental, and vision coverage, along with a 401(k), paid time off, and additional executive-level benefits. The position also provides a long-term career path with a consistently top-ranked General Contractor.


The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity for a high-performing interiors superintendent to step into a leadership role within one of New York’s most respected contractors. If you thrive in demanding, client-facing environments and take pride in delivering best-in-class projects, this role offers the platform to further elevate your career.
