About the role

Field Superintendent Arlington Heights, IL | Residential Construction$80,000–$100,000 + Bonus + Benefits

About the Company: We are an established residential construction company specializing in home remodeling and renovation projects throughout the Chicagoland area. Our high-volume operation manages more than 200 projects each year, with a strong focus on quality workmanship, efficient execution, and delivering projects on schedule. We are looking for a Field Superintendent who is comfortable managing multiple active job sites in a fast-paced environment. Our projects are short-cycle, with the average project completed in approximately 8 business days, so this is not a traditional construction role where projects sit in the field for months.

Position Overview: The Field Superintendent will oversee the day-to-day execution of multiple residential projects, ensuring crews stay on schedule, work is completed correctly, and every project meets company quality standards. This person will manage 8 to 10 active job sites at a time, with 2 to 3 person crews at each location. You will directly coordinate carpenters, labor crews, and subcontractors while working closely with the office team on scheduling, client communication, and project administration. The right person is hands-on, organized, comfortable managing people, and able to quickly identify and resolve issues in the field.

Direct experience managing construction crews or field personnel
Experience working in a high-volume, short-cycle environment
Strong quality-control mindset and attention to detail

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
