About The Role

The General Construction Superintendent is a critical field leader at Ernest responsible for overseeing and coordinating on-site construction activities across Florida. This is a hands-on role that requires frequent travel, direct supervision of crews, and active involvement in both small commercial projects and mid-sized jobs. The Superintendent ensures projects are completed safely, on time, within scope, and to Ernest's standards of quality and customer satisfaction.

What You'll Do

  • Lead, manage, and mentor field crews and technicians on active projects.
  • Provide both on-site and remote supervision, ensuring alignment on quality, schedule, and safety.

  • Ensure all installations comply with Ernest's standards, industry codes, and safety regulations.
  • Manage material and manpower requirements to meet project deadlines.

What You'll Need

  • 10+ years of field supervisory experience in general construction, preferably with Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) trades.
  • Proven track record managing commercial projects valued around ~$2 million.
  • Hands-on leadership style, with the ability to step in and support field crews directly when needed.
  • Strong ability to communicate with customers and de-escalate issues professionally.
  • Extensive knowledge of construction codes and standards (mechanical, electrical, plumbing).
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel regularly throughout Florida.
