$130,000.00/yr - $160,000.00/yr Ready to lead critical healthcare construction in occupied hospital environments where precision and safety are non-negotiable? About Our Client (Confidential Search)

Pave Talent is hiring on behalf of a prestigious, 100% employee‑owned general contractor with 135+ years of excellence. Ranked among ENR's Top 20 Contractors, they specialize in high‑stakes construction including hospitals, data centers, and mission‑critical facilities nationwide. Your Impact as Healthcare Superintendent

You’ll be the on‑site field general for healthcare construction projects in the Greater Seattle/Bellevue area, managing everything from daily scheduling to infection control in active hospital environments. Your expertise in ICRA protocols and Washington Department of Health compliance will ensure patients remain safe while critical healthcare infrastructure is built or renovated around them. What You’ll Do

Oversee daily field operations for healthcare construction projects, managing subcontractor coordination, quality control, and schedule adherence to ensure on‑time project delivery in sensitive occupied environments. Enforce “Target Zero” safety culture with comprehensive site safety management, daily toolbox talks, and strict compliance with OSHA/WSHA/L&I regulations to maintain incident‑free job sites. Implement and manage ICRA (Infection Control Risk Assessment) protocols to prevent dust migration and contamination in occupied hospital settings, protecting vulnerable patient populations during construction. Coordinate seamlessly with Washington State Department of Health inspectors and Joint Commission requirements, ensuring all healthcare‑specific codes and standards are met throughout construction phases. Create and maintain 3‑week look‑ahead schedules, proactively managing critical path activities and coordinating trades to avoid conflicts in the compressed, fast‑paced healthcare environment. Develop and execute critical system shutdown schedules for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing tie‑ins, ensuring minimal disruption to hospital operations and patient care. Conduct quality control inspections ensuring work matches specifications and blueprints, addressing deficiencies immediately to maintain the exceptional standards required in healthcare construction. Manage subcontractor performance and resolve on‑site conflicts decisively, maintaining productive relationships while holding trades accountable to schedule, safety, and quality expectations. Required Qualifications

6‑10+ years of experience as a Field Superintendent with proven success managing complex commercial construction projects. Healthcare construction expertise with multiple hospital or laboratory projects, including experience in occupied healthcare facilities where patient safety is paramount. Strong working knowledge of ICRA (Infection Control) protocols and practical application in active hospital construction environments. Familiarity with Washington State Department of Health regulations and inspection processes for healthcare construction. Current Safety Trained Supervisor (STS) Certification, or commitment to achieve certification within six months of hire. Working knowledge of all construction trades with ability to read and interpret specifications, blueprints, and shop drawings across disciplines. Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Turner, Hensel Phelps, DPR, or similar top‑tier general contractors known for healthcare excellence. Previous foreman or journeyman experience in at least one trade, providing hands‑on craft knowledge. Demonstrated conflict resolution skills with track record of successfully managing difficult subcontractors or removing non‑performing trades from projects. Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or Architecture (or 4+ years as Assistant Superintendent). Benefits

$130,000 - $160,000 base salary plus performance bonus. Comprehensive benefits from Day 1 including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company matching, and Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP)—you become a literal owner with profit‑sharing. Additional perks include paid vacation and sick leave, educational assistance, Care.com and ClassPass memberships, financial wellness coaching, business travel accident insurance, and extensive voluntary benefit options. Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn’t just another superintendent role—it’s a chance to join construction royalty. With 135+ years of stability, employee ownership that builds your wealth, and a reputation for tackling the industry’s most complex projects, you’ll work alongside the best in the business. The Greater Seattle market offers consistent healthcare project pipeline and unmatched career growth potential. Culture That Matters

Join a field operations team that values every superintendent’s expertise and leadership. Our client’s “people‑first” approach means you’ll have the resources, autonomy, and support to succeed. High retention speaks volumes—field leaders stay because they’re respected, rewarded, and given opportunities to grow into senior operations roles. Next Steps
