The CSA Superintendent drives predictable production, enforces standards, and ensures work is installed safely, correctly, and in sequence with MEP/commissioning needs.

This is a hands-on field leadership role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, holds trade partners accountable, and keeps the project moving with clarity, urgency, and professionalism.

  • Conduct regular safety walks; correct unsafe behaviors immediately and escalate as needed.

CSA Scope Execution (Primary)

  • Direct and coordinate all CSA activities including: site civil, earthwork, concrete, foundations, underground utilities (as applicable), structural steel, envelope, roofing, architectural buildout, doors/frames/hardware, exterior finishes, and interior buildout.

  • Own CSA short-interval planning (daily/weekly) and support pull planning with measurable commitments.

  • Communicate issues early with clear options, impacts, and recommended paths forward.
  • Coordinate with AHJ/inspectors for CSA-related inspections and closeouts.

Procurement Support (Supporting)

  • Track CSA long-lead items (steel, precast, envelope systems, roofing, doors/hardware, specialty architectural items).
  • Confirm lead times, delivery windows, and readiness of areas for install.

Turnover & Closeout (Primary)

  • Drive CSA punch, closeout, and turnover readiness by area/phase.
  • Coordinate turnover requirements with PM/QAQC/commissioning teams: as-builts, O&M where applicable, attic stock, warranties, test reports, inspection sign-offs.
  • Ensure spaces are ready for commissioning activities and operational turnover (clean, labeled, accessible, complete).

Leadership & Culture (Primary)

  • Be the leader in the room: set expectations, model accountability, and build strong trade partner relationships.
  • Promote Weeks standards: proactive problem solving, high tempo execution, and respectful coordination.
  • Mentor junior superintendents/field engineers and help develop consistent field processes.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

  • Deep CSA field expertise on complex commercial/industrial builds; mission-critical/data center experience strongly preferred.
  • Strong command of means and methods, sequencing, constructability, and schedule logic.
  • Ability to read/interpret drawings/specs and enforce quality with subcontractors.
  • Proven ability to lead multiple CSA subs simultaneously in a high-intensity environment.
  • Strong communication, conflict resolution, and decision-making under pressure.
  • Comfortable with field technology (Procore/ACC, Bluebeam, MS Office) and daily reporting.
