About American Roofing & Metal American Roofing & Metal Co. is a leading commercial roofing contractor headquartered in Louisville, KY, serving the Kentucky, southern Indiana, and Cincinnati markets. We self-perform low slope, architectural sheet metal, solar, and service work on commercial, industrial, healthcare, education, and government projects. We are a growing, 400+ employee organization running on EOS, with a culture built around accountability, quality, and people who take pride in their craft.
About the Role The Superintendent is the senior field leadership presence across multiple active low slope jobsites. This role bridges office-side project management and field execution. You are directly accountable for field crew performance - safety, production pace, installation quality, and crew development - across every job in your assigned portfolio.
This is not a desk job. You will be on roofs, in the field, and coaching foremen every day. If you are the kind of field leader who has high attention to detail, catches a safety issue before it becomes an incident, and can tell within an hour whether a crew is going to hit its numbers, this is your seat.
What You'll Do Field Accountability & Oversight
Visit every active job on your assigned list a minimum of 2x per week; high-risk or underperforming jobs get daily presence
Verify foremen are executing daily: JSA completed, crew briefed, production goals set, quality standards met
Conduct unannounced field audits on safety compliance, housekeeping, material staging, and work quality
Own crew productivity across your jobs: monitor labor hours vs. budget and identify underperforming crews
Serve as the primary field escalation point for foremen
Ensure watertight conditions and property protection standards are maintained on every job, every day
Safety Leadership
Enforce AR&M and OSHA safety standards with zero tolerance for non-compliance
Conduct weekly safety inspections across assigned jobs; document findings and track corrective actions
Ensure all incidents and near-misses are reported to Safety same-day
Remove any crew member from a jobsite who refuses to comply with safety protocols - no exceptions
Quality Assurance
Conduct a quality inspection on every job visit; verify workmanship meets manufacturer specs, AR&M standards, and approved shop drawings before crews move to the next phase
Perform focused inspections at critical installation milestones: substrate prep, membrane attachment, flashing and detail work, and final punch
Document deficiencies with photos and written notes; communicate same-day to foreman for correction and to PM for tracking
Identify and document rework events; report frequency and root cause to the Division Head
Support PMs in punch list prevention - catching deficiencies during production, not at closeout
Crew Development & Performance Management
Evaluate foreman performance continuously: production leadership, crew management, safety discipline, communication
Coach foremen on planning, crew deployment, and field decision-making
Identify and develop right-hand men as future foremen; recommend promotions when ready
Document and report persistent underperformance to the Division Head
Recognize strong field performance - morale and retention are part of this job
Production Coordination
Coordinate with PMs on crew scheduling, job sequencing, and resource allocation
Verify material deliveries on-site when the PM is not present: check quantities and condition against PO and delivery ticket; communicate confirmation or discrepancies same-day
Identify equipment, material, and manpower needs in advance; flag shortages before they cost production days
Facilitate crew moves between jobs when priorities shift
Attend WAR Room kickoff meetings for all assigned jobs
Reporting & Communication
Provide daily field updates to the Division Head and PMs: production, crew issues, safety, quality
Maintain a weekly report on assigned jobs: jobs visited, issues found, corrective actions, crew performance notes
Escalate systemic issues with data and recommendations
Participate in weekly L10 / production meetings with field performance data
Accountability This role is measured, not managed by feel. You'll carry weekly expectations on jobsite visit cadence, safety inspection completion, labor hours against budget, crew utilization, and foreman coaching. Incidents and recordables are tracked to zero. Quality deficiencies are documented same-day. If you're the kind of field leader who wants the standards clearly defined and wants to be graded against them, you'll fit. If you're looking for a role where the metrics stay fuzzy, this isn't it.
What You Bring Required
7+ years of commercial roofing field experience, with a minimum of 3 years leading crews as a foreman, lead foreman, or superintendent
Working knowledge of low slope systems: TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, BUR, cold-applied, and coatings
Proven ability to read and interpret specs, shop drawings, details, and manufacturer installation requirements
OSHA 30 certification (or ability to obtain within 60 days of hire)
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple crews and job sites concurrently
Strong communication skills with both craft employees and office-side PMs, estimators, and GCs
Comfortable using smartphones, tablets, and cloud-based field tools (time entry, scheduling, daily reports, photo documentation)
Valid driver's license and clean driving record
Able to climb ladders, work at heights, lift 50+ lbs, and perform the physical demands of a commercial roofing environment
Preferred
Bilingual English / Spanish
Prior experience working as a subcontractor to major GCs
Experience on bonded public work, healthcare, or education projects
Familiarity with BuildOps, Smartsheet, Miter, and job cost reporting
What We Offer
Company vehicle or vehicle allowance, fuel card, phone allowance
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid time off and paid holidays
Company-paid OSHA training, manufacturer certifications, and continuing education
A tenured leadership team that has been in the field and respects people who know the work
