Project Superintendent – Los Angeles / Orange County

Los Angeles, CAon-sitefull-time

A little about the role

We're building a lean California field organization for larger restoration, reconstruction, renovation, and construction projects. You run real projects in the Los Angeles / Orange County territory from day one as Apex Works' local authority on the job, turning approved scopes and plans into safe, predictable field progress.

What you'll own

  • Field execution across multiple concurrent projects in your territory
  • Short-interval plans, milestone schedules, subcontractor sequencing, and daily site logistics
  • Jobsite readiness, and permits, jurisdiction comments, and inspections — including the meetings with inspectors
  • Subcontractors within their signed scopes: manpower, materials, quality, completion, and correction of deficient work
  • Field coordination with owners, property managers, designers, engineers, utilities, and neighbors
  • Plans and specifications — conflicts caught early, field conditions documented, answers driven before work is blocked
  • Stopping unsafe or deficient work, holding progress evidence, and owning punch and closeout
  • Escalating scope, price, contract, safety, and material-schedule risk early, with a recommended next step
  • Your field authority covers the daily sequence, site logistics, and ordinary recovery plans. Commercial and scope changes need written approval.

How the lean team works

  • Apex leadership handles estimating, contracts, pricing, change orders, billing, and back office. You provide accurate field information and own execution. AI-assisted workflows turn your photos, notes, and commitments into reports and follow-up without adding layers of coordinators.

What you bring

  • 5+ years of construction field leadership in restoration, reconstruction, renovation, or general construction
  • Evidence you have run several active projects without daily supervision
  • Plan reading, subcontractor coordination, inspections, sequencing, logistics, safety, and quality-control judgment
  • A record of finding constraints early, communicating bad news honestly, and closing the last ten percent
  • Clear communication with clients, inspectors, design professionals, subcontractors, and leadership
  • Based within driving distance of Los Angeles / Orange County projects, with a valid driver's license and reliable transportation
  • Comfort using a phone for schedules, photos, daily evidence, and commitments

The growth path

  • Deliver reliable milestones, clean documentation, and sound field judgment across projects, and you take on a full territory — then step into Regional Project Superintendent and its compensation. We'd rather promote someone who proved it here than hire a stranger.

Compensation

  • $71,000–$80,000 base salary, depending on demonstrated field leadership and project scope
  • $25,000–$40,000 target performance bonus tied to milestone reliability, quality, inspections, documentation, and closeout — real upside on top of base from day one, and stretch performance can earn up to 150% of target Safety, candor, required quality, and documented change control are payout gates
  • $96,000–$120,000 target total cash in year one — base plus target bonus
  • Defined path to Regional Project Superintendent compensation — pay scales up as you take on a territory and its authority, reviewed against clear field bars, not tenure
  • Necessary approved business travel is reimbursed under a written policy, and a company vehicle or fuel card may be assigned during high-mileage phases. Ordinary commuting is not reimbursed

Benefits

  • W-2 employment — steady payroll, taxes withheld, workers' comp covered
