Senior Superintendent

About Overaa
Overaa Construction has been building the Bay Area since 1907. As a fifth-generation family-owned builder, we self-perform critical scopes of work and deliver projects across commercial, healthcare, education, life science, water, industrial, energy, and transportation markets.
Senior Superintendent
We are seeking a seasoned Senior Superintendent to lead field execution on high-value, technically demanding projects. This is a senior field leadership role for someone who has run ground-up commercial and industrial work from start to finish and who can set the standard for safety, quality, and schedule on every project they touch.
This is a career hire. The right candidate will lead a sustained pipeline of meaningful work and grow into a key field leader within the organization — not a single assignment, but a long-term seat with a respected builder.
Responsibilities:
Lead total field execution from mobilization through closeout and warranty — safety, quality, schedule, productivity, logistics, and field cost.
Serve as the on-site face of Overaa to clients, design teams, inspectors, and authorities having jurisdiction, managing those relationships with professionalism and no surprises.
Develop, own, and drive the master and short-interval (look-ahead) schedules in coordination with the project team; hold the field accountable to the plan and lead recovery when needed.
Implement and enforce a visible, non-negotiable site safety program and culture.
Manage subcontractors and self-perform trades — scope coordination, manpower loading, sequencing, productivity tracking, and quality of installed work.
Coordinate inspections, material procurement, and subcontractor sequencing to support project milestones.
Create and maintain site logistics plans that support safe, efficient project execution.
Execute the project quality control program, including pre-installation meetings, inspections, punch, commissioning support, and turnover documentation.
Track field productivity and cost, identify and forecast impacts, and support the Project Manager on change management and schedule discipline.
Mentor and develop Assistant Superintendents, Foremen, and Field Engineers, raising the capability of the field team.
Required Qualifications:
15+ years of progressive field supervision experience in commercial and/or industrial construction, with a clear track record as the Lead Superintendent on completed projects.
Start-to-finish ground-up experience with demonstrated ownership through site work, foundations, structure, MEP, finishes, commissioning, and closeout.
Experience serving as the Lead Superintendent on ground-up commercial, industrial, healthcare, utility, or public works projects of substantial size and complexity.
Schedule command — fluent in CPM scheduling and short-interval planning; able to build, drive, and recover a schedule rather than simply report on it.
Safety leadership with a proven record of safe project delivery; OSHA 30 minimum.
Sophisticated client management experience supporting institutional, public agency, healthcare, industrial, mission-critical, or utility clients.
Strong command of civil, structural, and MEP systems; able to read and coordinate complex drawings and resolve constructability issues in the field.
Proficiency with Procore (or equivalent) and digital field tools, including mobile-based daily reporting, RFIs, and documentation.
Preferred:
Experience delivering projects for utility owners such as PG&E, public agencies, industrial manufacturers, or energy providers is highly desirable.
Experience working with high-voltage or heavy electrical scopes including substations, switchgear, transmission, utility infrastructure, or energy facilities.
Experience coordinating utility owners, AHJs, commissioning teams, shutdowns, tie-ins, and complex operational interfaces.
Experience supervising self-perform structural concrete, site work, or craft labor operations.
Familiarity with utility or public agency standards, inspection requirements, and coordination protocols.
Bilingual English/Spanish.
Knowledge of SWPPP, environmental compliance, LEED, and sustainability practices.
Education & Credentials:
Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent field experience weighted equally.
OSHA 30 required.
OSHA 510/500, CPR/First Aid, and trade-specific safety certifications are a plus.
