Construction Superintendent

Diamond Peak Recruiting, San Jose, CA, United States


Commercial Construction Superintendent — Tenant Improvement Location: San Jose, CA Compensation: Base salary up to $200K + full benefits Some superintendents manage the schedule. The great ones

set the pace , protect the quality, and keep the job moving no matter what the building throws at them.

We’re looking for that kind of superintendent.

This role is with a

Tenant Improvement–focused general contractor

operating across Class A office, corporate interiors, tech spaces, life‑science conversions, and high‑end commercial buildouts. Projects move fast, clients expect precision, and field leadership is the difference between a smooth turnover and a painful one.

What You’ll Lead

Day‑to‑day field operations for commercial TI projects from mobilization through punchlist

Coordination of subcontractors, inspections, deliveries, and site logistics in active, occupied buildings

Enforcement of safety, quality, and cleanliness standards across all phases of construction

Short‑interval scheduling, look‑ahead planning, and daily reporting

Problem‑solving in real time — sequencing, conflicts, unforeseen conditions, and client‑driven changes

Maintaining strong relationships with building engineers, property managers, and client reps

Ensuring work is completed to spec, on schedule, and with minimal disruption to tenants

What Makes You a Strong Fit

7–15+ years of experience as a Superintendent in commercial TI or interiors construction

Deep understanding of interior systems: framing, finishes, MEP coordination, life‑safety, and building operations

Proven success running fast‑paced TI projects in downtown/urban environments

Ability to lead subcontractors with clarity, urgency, and respect

Strong communication skills — you keep PMs informed and clients confident

Comfortable navigating occupied spaces, tight timelines, and shifting priorities

Tech‑savvy with field management tools (Procore, Bluebeam, PlanGrid, etc.)

Why This Role Stands Out

Consistent pipeline of negotiated TI work with repeat clients

Projects with visibility, speed, and complexity — never boring

Leadership that trusts superintendents to run the field, not micromanage them

Competitive compensation with a base up to

$200K , plus bonus and full benefits

A culture built around professionalism, accountability, and doing things the right way
