Superintendent – Ground-Up / Core & Shell New York, NY | On-site | Full-time | General Contractor$190,000 – $280,000 for the right personA New York general contractor is hiring a Superintendent who can build a building. Ground-up and core & shell. Mid-rise multifamily and mixed-use in New York / New Jersey. This is not a tenant fit-out seat. THE WORKNew buildings: structure, envelope, and base building systems. You own the site with the PM. Occupied-adjacent logistics, DOB, and a job that has to stand up and take tenants later.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
Run daily field operations from start-up through structure, envelope, and core & shell turnover- Direct trades on a live NYC / NJ site — labor, material, sequencing, and the look-ahead- Protect quality and schedule in the dirt. Problems get fixed the day they show up- Hold the job to drawings, specs, and DOB. Inspections pass because the work is right, not because paperwork is pretty- Work as a pair with the project manager. You run the building. They run the contract. WHO THIS IS FOR- Superintendent with a GC who has already delivered ground-up and/or core & shell — not only interiors inside someone else’s shell- NYC license is required. Site Safety Manager or Site Safety Coordinator, plus SST and OSHA 30. Put the license number on the resume- Mid-rise multifamily or mixed-use is the work. You have stood in that building type and were not lost- You read the drawings. You know what the structure and skin are supposed to look like before they get covered upWHO THIS IS NOT- Interiors / TI superintendent with no ground-up or core & shell- Unlicensed field guy hoping the GC will carry the DOB ticket- CM / owner’s-rep only. No GC field time- First-time assistant who has never owned a deckPAYBase $190,000–$280,000. The top of that range is for a licensed superintendent who has already built buildings at this scale in New York. Do not apply if you need the number to be $280k and the resume is interiors.
