The construction superintendent oversees the completion of a construction project and ensures the project is delivered successfully. They collaborate with engineers and subcontractors to define a project's needs while budgeting costs. A construction superintendent negotiates with external partners, such as vendors and lawyers, to ensure the construction site’s safety and security at the job site. They often take on the role of the general contractor but also manage multiple general contractors on larger projects. A construction superintendent works on-site in a field office to efficiently supervise the building project.
