Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Field Superintendent to lead day-to-day field operations for our Mason City, Iowa project: a new 45-unit affordable senior housing community designed to serve income-qualified households. The development will include 15 one-bedroom units, 30 two-bedroom units, and an underground parking garage, creating a high-quality residential community that supports Mason City’s continued growth and housing needs.

This is a key role for a superintendent who can independently manage site activities, coordinate subcontractors, uphold safety and quality standards, and keep the project moving on schedule and within budget. The ideal candidate is hands-on, organized, proactive, and confident serving as the primary field leader on a stand-alone jobsite.

If the successful candidate is local, this may be a one and done project unless you are open to traveling to MN, IA or WI area.

• Coordinate and supervise subcontractors, vendors, inspections, and daily work sequencing.
• Maintain project schedule and proactively identify risks to production, quality, and deadlines.
