Construction Superintendent at Denton Floyd… · Newburgh

Forge Construction is the in-house general contractor for Denton Floyd Real Estate Group, building ground-up multifamily, senior living, and industrial projects across the Louisville and Southern Indiana region. Because Forge builds for its own development, ownership, and property management teams, our superintendents see the full life of a building — from the first site meeting through move-in and warranty.

The Superintendent is the on-site leader responsible for delivering a project safely, on schedule, within budget, and to Forge's quality standards. This role runs the field from mobilization through certificate of occupancy and turnover on small-to-mid-size projects, or owns a defined building or phase on larger, multi-building sites. The Superintendent directs trade partners, drives the schedule, manages quality and safety, and partners closely with the Project Manager, Vector Design Group, and DF Property Management to hand over buildings that are ready to lease and operate.

Schedule & Field Execution

■ Own the day-to-day field schedule; build and run 3-week look-aheads tied to the master schedule and hold trades accountable to milestones.

■ Plan site logistics, sequencing, laydown, deliveries, and crane/equipment use to keep work flowing and the site organized.

■ Run weekly subcontractor coordination meetings and daily huddles; resolve field conflicts before they become delays.

■ Identify schedule risk early and bring recovery plans to the Project Manager and Senior Superintendent.

Trade Partner Management

Safety

Quality Control

■ Execute Forge's QA/QC program, including pre-installation meetings, first-work-in-place reviews, and mock-up approvals.

■ Coordinate municipal, third-party, and special inspections; maintain inspection logs and close out deficiencies.

■ Review drawings and specifications ahead of the work to catch constructability issues and coordinate RFIs with the PM and Vector Design Group.

Documentation & Communication

■ Maintain accurate daily reports, photos, manpower logs, and meeting minutes in Procore.

■ Keep the Project Manager, Project Executive, and development team informed on progress, risks, and changes in the field.
