Senior Superintendent - Cleveland based construction

Here's an opportunity to take the lead on large‑scale podium multifamily projects while being part of an employee‑owned contractor with a strong reputation in the Cleveland market. You'll join a company that genuinely invests in its people, rewards performance, and provides long‑term wealth‑building through a highly successful ESOP.

Client Details

This role is with an employee‑owned general contractor that has spent decades building a strong name across the region. Their teams consistently talk about how grounded, supportive, and people‑oriented the culture is - the kind of place where leadership actually listens, superintendents are trusted, and doing the right thing matters more than cutting corners.
