Job Description
The project
\n
\n
A 400+ unit luxury apartment community in the Northern Virginia suburbs, close to Metro. The build is three levels of concrete podium decks with five wood-framed residential floors above, a precast parking structure and a standalone high-end clubhouse. Amenities include a pool, fitness centre, co-working lounge and package room. Concrete is topping out and wood framing is underway. The job runs through to turnover and lease-up.
\n
\n
The role
\n
The Assistant Superintendent reports to the Project Superintendent and takes day-to-day ownership of the wood-framed floors as they go up: framing, MEP rough-in and the building envelope, then finishes through punch and turnover. This is a field role on a live site. You will be the one walking the floors, holding subs to the schedule and catching problems before they become rework.
\n
\n
Because the developer owns and builds the job, there is no third-party owner's rep on site. Decisions are made in-house and the field team has direct backing from ownership.
\n
Responsibilities
\n
- \n
- Run daily field operations on assigned floors and buildings, directing framing, MEP and envelope subcontractors to the master schedule.
- Own the wood framing scope: layout checks, shear walls, hold-downs, fire blocking, draft stopping and truss installation, with inspections passed first time.
- Coordinate MEP rough-in across trades so penetrations, chases and ceiling heights work before drywall closes them in.
- Manage envelope work including sheathing, WRB, flashing, windows, siding and roofing, and get the building watertight before interiors start.
- Build and maintain three-week look-ahead schedules tied to the master schedule.
- Run quality control: pre-installation meetings, mock-ups, first-work inspections and punch lists.
- Enforce site safety, OSHA compliance, housekeeping and fall protection on an active multi-level structure.
- Coordinate county and third-party inspections.
- Keep daily logs, manpower counts, photos and RFIs current in the project management software.
- Support the Project Superintendent on logistics, hoisting, deliveries and site access across the podium, garage and clubhouse.
- Carry the job through finishes, punch, turnover and lease-up support.
