Original job description
Assistant Site Superintendent | High-Rise Residential
Location: Etobicoke, ON
Salary: $90,000 – $110,000
Employment Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Position Overview
Our client, an established residential developer and builder, is seeking an experienced, hands-on Assistant Site Superintendent for a high-rise residential project in Etobicoke.
The ideal candidate is a strong field-oriented construction professional who understands how high-rise projects come together and can confidently manage site activities, coordinate trades and resolve construction challenges as they arise.
This is not a primarily administrative position. We are looking for someone with practical construction knowledge, strong problem-solving abilities and the confidence to make informed decisions in the field. Experience with concrete operations, structural work, interior finishing and overall construction sequencing is particularly valuable.
Key Responsibilities
We are looking for a genuine field-oriented Assistant Superintendent who understands high-rise construction beyond drawings, schedules and paperwork.
The successful candidate should be able to walk an active construction site, recognize potential issues, coordinate the appropriate trades and implement practical solutions to keep the project moving forward.
This position requires someone who can think on their feet, anticipate problems and take initiative rather than simply escalate every issue to the Site Superintendent.
The emphasis is on site leadership, technical construction knowledge, independent problem-solving and execution, rather than administrative coordination.
