Role Overview:

We're looking for a hands-on Construction Superintendent to lead field execution of build- outs, tenant improvements, and capital projects across CHAOS’s entire multi-site manufacturing, lab, and office portfolio. This role requires regular travel across CHAOS’s portfolio of sites to oversee concurrent projects, with time allocated based on active job site needs. The ideal candidate thrives managing multiple concurrent job sites in a fast-scaling environment, brings deep trade and code knowledge, and can operate with minimal existing infrastructure while helping build the FM program’s construction standards.

Responsibilities:

• Manage day-to-day field execution of construction, tenant improvement, and capital projects across CHAOS’s manufacturing, lab, and office facilities.
• Serve as primary on-site point of contact for general contractors, subcontractors, architects, and engineers; run pre-construction, progress, and closeout meetings.
• Review and enforce adherence to construction documents, specifications, applicable building codes and local AHJ/permit requirements.
• Track project schedules and budgets; flag risks, delays, and change orders to the Director of Facilities and executive stakeholders with supporting documentation.
• Manage RFIs, submittals, and quality control walkthroughs; maintain punch lists through substantial completion and final closeout.
• Coordinate job site safety compliance (OSHA, EHS protocols) and enforce contractor safety plans across active work areas.
• Partner with the FM SME superintendent group to sequence trade work and validate building systems tie-ins during construction.
• Coordinate with EHS/Compliance and cleared personnel on any build requirements touching secure or classified spaces, without independently managing classified scope.
• Maintain organized, audit-ready project documentation: contracts, drawings, RFIs, submittals, inspection records, and closeout packages.
• Support acquisition due diligence and onboarding of new sites by assessing physical condition, code compliance gaps, and buildout scope.

Minimum Requirements:

• 10-15+ years experience as a construction superintendent or equivalent field leadership role on commercial or industrial projects.
•  Experience managing tenant improvement and capital build-out projects from pre-construction through closeout.
• Working knowledge of applicable building codes and permit/AHJ processes
• Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings and specifications.
• Proven experience coordinating general contractors, subcontractors, and multiple trades on concurrent job sites
• OSHA 30 certification (or ability to obtain)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Regular travel required (typically 25-50% higher during active build phases) across CHAOS’s multi-site portfolio

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience with manufacturing, lab, or cleanroom environments.
• Experience working on defense, government, or other secure-facility contractor sites.
• Familiarity with SCIF/ICD 705 construction requirements or willingness to work alongside cleared personnel on secure builds.
• Experience reviewing BAS/BMS and controls tie-ins on mechanical/electrical systems.
• Eligibility for a U.S. government security clearance.
• Passport/ability to travel internationally without restriction.
