Build with purpose. Lead in the field.

Join us as the on-the-ground force who turns plans into places. In partnership with a proven contractor, we’re hiring an Onsite Construction Operations Lead in Chicago, IL to steer commercial projects—mixed-use, industrial, retail, and multi-unit—from first stake to final punch.

Imagine this scenario

A delivery truck arrives early with critical materials. An RFI answer prompts a detail change. An inspection is slated for noon. You realign crews, update the look-ahead, brief stakeholders, and keep the build moving—safely, on schedule, and within budget. That’s your craft.

How you create impact

  • Run daily site operations and orchestrate subcontractors and vendors
  • Lead safety from the front and adhere to all regulatory standards
  • Read drawings and schedules to sequence work against milestones
  • Partner with design teams, inspectors, and owners to resolve field issues
  • Track progress, maintain thorough site logs, and communicate updates
  • Verify quality at each phase to meet or exceed specifications
  • Motivate crews, remove roadblocks, and sustain jobsite momentum
  • Hit deadlines and budget goals through disciplined planning and follow-through

What equips you

  • Extensive commercial field experience with multiple years supervising crews
  • Expertise in means/methods, sequencing, and site operations
  • Knowledge of local permitting and inspection processes
  • Leadership presence with strong coordination skills across many trades
  • Clear communication and decisive problem-solving
  • Comfort with construction management platforms and digital reporting
  • Safety certifications a plus

Role basics

Salary: $130k – $160k | Location: Chicago, IL
