Role Summary

We are hiring a Concrete Superintendent to lead field execution for concrete scopes in the Reno, NV market, with a strong preference for experience delivering structural concrete work. This role owns day-to-day site leadership, crew and subcontractor coordination, safety, schedule, quality, and production. The Concrete Superintendent is the person accountable for turning the plan into clean, predictable field results.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead field operations for concrete work from mobilization through closeout, including layout coordination, sequencing, daily planning, and production tracking.
• Run structural concrete scopes such as foundations, footings, grade beams, walls, elevated slabs, columns, and suspended systems (as applicable to the project).
• Plan and manage pour cycles including forming plans, rebar installation coordination, embeds, anchor bolts, sleeves, blockouts, and pre-pour checklists.
• Coordinate with project management on look-ahead planning (2-week and 6-week), manpower plans, material lead times, and constraint removal.
• Drive safety performance by enforcing client’s safety expectations, conducting JHAs, leading tailgates, and ensuring compliance with site-specific requirements.
