    Junior Site Supervisor – Commercial Construction

    Job Summary

    We are seeking an experienced and dependable Junior Site Supervisor to oversee daily field operations on commercial and select residential construction projects. The Site Supervisor will be responsible for leading the jobsite, coordinating employees and subcontractors, maintaining quality and safety standards, and keeping the project moving according to schedule.

    This is a hands-on leadership position. The Site Supervisor is expected to be actively involved in the day-to-day operation of the jobsite, but the primary responsibility is managing and coordinating the work—not working full-time as a tradesperson.

    The ideal candidate has strong commercial construction experience, excellent leadership and communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple trades and priorities in a fast-paced environment.

    Key Responsibilities

    Supervise employees, subcontractors, and daily jobsite activities

    Conduct morning safety meetings and assign daily tasks

    Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, deliveries, inspections, and site access

    Review construction drawings, scopes of work, specifications, and project requirements

    Maintain and communicate a 2-week lookahead schedule

    Plan and prepare for the following day's work

    Ensure required materials, equipment, and manpower are available before work is scheduled

    Monitor workmanship and address quality issues before they result in rework

    Maintain daily progress, quality, and safety documentation, including jobsite photos

    Maintain a clean, organized, and OSHA-compliant jobsite

    Identify potential delays, conflicts, or problems and communicate them promptly to the Project Manager

    Provide accurate daily progress reports and updates to project management

    Coordinate multiple trades to ensure work progresses efficiently and according to schedule

    Help maintain project timelines, quality standards, and overall jobsite productivity

    Enforce company safety policies and jobsite procedures

    Support the Project Manager with field coordination and project execution as needed

    Qualifications

    Commercial construction supervisory experience required

    Previous experience as a Site Supervisor, Superintendent, Construction Supervisor, Foreman, or similar leadership role

    Ability to read and understand construction drawings, plans, and scopes of work

    Experience coordinating multiple trades and subcontractors

    Strong understanding of construction processes, sequencing, and jobsite operations

    Strong leadership, organization, and communication skills

    Ability to identify and resolve jobsite issues quickly and effectively

    Dependable, professional, and accountable

    Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining attention to detail

    Strong commitment to jobsite safety and quality

    Comfortable working in a fast-paced construction environment

    What We're Looking For

    We are looking for a jobsite leader who can take ownership of daily field operations, keep trades coordinated, anticipate what the project needs next, and communicate effectively with project management.

    The successful candidate will be organized, proactive, dependable, and confident directing people and activities on an active construction site.

    If you have the construction experience and leadership skills to keep a jobsite safe, organized, and moving forward, we want to hear from you.
