Lead drywall operations on high-complexity commercial builds, overseeing skilled teams and ensuring every phase meets rigorous safety, quality, and schedule standards. In this role, you’ll directly manage assistant superintendents and foremen, fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and injury-free work practices.

Key Responsibilities

  • Supervise and develop field leadership, including assistant superintendents and foremen, through coaching and on-the-job mentorship
  • Recruit, onboard, and support craft personnel, with a focus on building capable, cohesive teams
  • Enforce compliance with safety protocols, particularly within the Injury-Free Environment (IFE) framework, and respond effectively to any workforce changes
  • Ensure all drywall work meets project specifications, code requirements, and internal quality benchmarks
  • Collaborate with project teams and trade partners to resolve conflicts, streamline workflows, and maintain production efficiency

  • Demonstrated success in identifying root causes and implementing practical solutions in fast-paced environments

Preferred Background

  • Experience sourcing and integrating local craft labor into project teams
  • A proactive mindset, reliability, and a consistent commitment to getting work done safely and correctly

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role is part of a self-perform division within a company built on employee ownership—meaning your contributions directly shape outcomes and career growth. You’ll work on technically advanced, sustainable projects while being supported by a collaborative network. As part of a recognized industry leader, you’ll have room to innovate, lead, and grow within a safety-first, team-driven culture.

Work Environment

This is an onsite position requiring consistent presence at project locations. The company promotes an inclusive, team-based atmosphere with a focus on safety, innovation, and long-term development. As an employee-owned organization, everyone has a stake in the company’s direction and success.

Commitment to Inclusion

We are an equal opportunity employer. Employment decisions are based on business needs, job requirements, and individual qualifications. We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy), age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, military status, or any other protected status under applicable laws.
