Trueline is recruiting a Commercial Construction Superintendent for a growing San Diego general contractor. You’ll lead field operations on commercial tenant improvements, renovations, and select ground-up projects, from mobilization through turnover.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys coordinating trades, solving field problems, and keeping owners and project teams informed.

What you’ll bring
- Commercial general contracting experience with responsibility for running a jobsite from start to finish. - Experience leading tenant improvements, renovations, or commercial ground-up construction. Projects in the $2 million to $15 million range are especially relevant. - Strong scheduling, subcontractor coordination, jobsite safety, and quality control skills. - Clear communication with owners, project managers, and trade partners, especially when priorities or schedules change. - An interest in mentoring others and taking on more field leadership as the company grows.
OSHA 30, preconstruction involvement, experience mentoring field staff, and knowledge of commercial interior finishes are preferred.
Benefits
- Company truck and gas card - Two weeks of paid time off, one week of sick time, and paid holidays - Medical coverage with an employer contribution - 401(k) plan
