The Mandate

This organization is clear about what it is—and is not—seeking.

They are not looking for someone who simply manages a schedule from a trailer.

They are seeking a hands-on superintendent: someone who can build trust with inspectors and subcontractors on-site, hold every trade accountable to OSHPD/HCAI compliance, and step in to self-perform work when needed to keep a project moving.
