At Gardner, we believe commercial construction should feel as welcoming as it is professional. That’s why we
don’t
just build and remodel, we build relationships,
rooted in hospitality . Our mission is to set the platinum standard for our clients, partners, and team members by delivering exceptional results while embodying our core values: passion, humility, excellence, empathy, and nimbleness. We bring a
hospitality - driven
approach to every project, ensuring that every interaction is thoughtful, responsive, and human-centered.
As Superintendent, you may work across any of our market focuses, including Healthcare, Industrial, Higher Education, Historical/Repositioning, Mission-Critical, and/or Life Sciences, but your primary focus will be Commercial Interiors.
Who You Are You’re a hands‑on leader who thrives in the field, keeping people and projects moving forward with confidence, clarity, and care.
Relationships are the core of your work.
You serve as the trusted advisor and liaison for our clients, providing hospitality at every step of the process. You’re the kind of person who’s calm under pressure, quick to solve problems, and great at bringing people together. You set a high bar for craftsmanship, safety, and collaboration, and you expect the same from everyone around you.
You believe that success on a jobsite is about more than just checking off tasks—it’s about building trust, staying organized, and leading by example. You enjoy coordinating moving parts and motivating teams to deliver quality work on time and on budget. Most importantly, you’re energized by watching a plan come to life.
How You’ll Contribute As a Superintendent at Gardner Builders, you'll be the on-site lead for construction operations—balancing the details, managing field teams, and serving as a point of connection between trade partners, clients, and your internal project team. From the start of a project through closeout, you'll be responsible for:
Leading and coordinating daily site operations across multiple projects
Managing schedules, sequencing work, and ensuring progress aligns with project goals
Maintaining a safe, clean, and organized jobsite
Driving quality by proactively identifying and resolving issues before they become problems
Communicating with trade partners, field staff, and project managers to ensure alignment
Hosting weekly foreman meetings to keep everyone informed and on track
Ordering materials, scheduling inspections, and maintaining accurate records
Acting as a visible, responsive, and reliable presence on site
Jumping in as needed to solve problems quickly, professionally, and collaboratively
You’ll also be a role model for safety and hospitality, setting the tone for a positive, productive jobsite culture.

Jobsites are safe, organized, and on schedule
Communication flows clearly between field and office
Team members feel supported, informed, and engaged
Trade partners trust your leadership and value working with you
Clients are impressed by the smooth execution and the way your team shows up
What You’ll Bring
3+ years of experience leading teams and managing commercial construction projects as a Superintendent with a general contractor

A humble, team‑oriented approach and the ability to manage several tasks at once while keeping a cool head

Ability to maintain a satisfactory Motor Vehicle Record
What Will Set You Apart
3+ years of experience overseeing high‑end, Class A tenant improvement/commercial interiors projects as a Superintendent
