Marker Hill Construction is a locally rooted construction company based in Winter Park, Colorado, specializing in high-quality site work, excavation, and infrastructure projects throughout the mountain community. We take pride in building safely, efficiently, and with respect for the challenging alpine environment we work in year-round. We are currently seeking an experienced Construction Superintendent to lead our field operations. This role is ideal for a hands-on leader who knows how to run a job site, keep crews productive and safe, and deliver projects on time and to specification from the ground up.
Principle Purpose of Job:
The Construction Superintendent is responsible for the day-to-day management of all field activities on assigned job sites. This position directs foremen, equipment operators, laborers, and subcontractors through excavation, grading, utilities, roadwork, foundations, and site development. The Superintendent works closely with the Project Manager to turn plans and schedules into completed work, and is the company's primary on-site representative for safety, quality, schedule, and client and inspector relations.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
- Oversee all on-site construction activities, including excavation, grading, utility installation, roadwork, foundations, and site restoration.
- Plan, schedule, and assign daily and weekly work for foremen, operators, laborers, and subcontractors.
- Develop and maintain the field schedule with the Project Manager; identify delays early and adjust crews, equipment, and sequencing to stay on track.
- Read and interpret construction drawings, site plans, specifications, and grade stakes, and make sure work is built to plan.
- Lead the site safety program: run daily tailgate meetings, enforce OSHA and company safety standards, and investigate and report incidents.
- Coordinate with engineers, surveyors, inspectors, utility providers, and municipal and county officials (including Grand County and the Town of Winter Park).
- Schedule inspections and testing, and make sure work passes on the first attempt.
- Manage equipment and material needs: request deliveries, coordinate equipment moves, and track usage to control costs.
- Monitor quality of work and correct deficiencies before they become rework.
- Keep accurate daily logs, timecards, progress photos, change documentation, and safety records.
- Serve as the on-site point of contact for owners, clients, and neighbors; communicate progress and resolve field issues professionally.
- Implement erosion control, stormwater (SWPPP), and environmental protection measures suited to mountain and wetland-adjacent sites.
- Plan for winter conditions, including snow removal, frost protection, and seasonal shutdown or startup of job sites.
- Train, mentor, and evaluate field staff; support hiring decisions and develop future foremen.
- Take part in pre-construction meetings, constructability reviews, and project closeout, including punch lists and as-builts.
