About the Role
The Superintendent runs Triumph's roofing and waterproofing work in the field, owning site operations and leading foremen and crews. This role is crucial for projects involving both roofing and waterproofing, serving as the go-to expert for complex details and sequences. The Superintendent sets the safety standard, proactively identifies quality issues, and mentors junior staff, ensuring clean sites, adherence to schedules, and professional site supervision.
Responsibilities
- Direct foremen and crews day to day, assigning work, setting the pace, and confirming crews have what they need to be productive
- Own safety on site, running tailgate meetings, completing inspections, correcting unsafe work on the spot, and leading incident investigations
- Partner with the Project Manager on schedule, manpower, and sequencing, and flag slippage before it costs the job
- Inspect installed work against drawings, specifications, and manufacturer requirements, and reject work that does not meet them
- Coordinate with general contractors, consultants, and other trades on site logistics, access, hoisting, and start dates
- Confirm materials, equipment, and rentals are on site when needed, working with the Project Manager and purchasing
- Document daily reports, photos, deficiency lists, and field measurements so the project record holds up in a claim
- Mentor foremen and less experienced superintendents, and set the standard for how Triumph runs a site
- Support close out by walking the project with the consultant, driving deficiencies to completion, and confirming warranty documentation is in order
- Run multiple active roofing and waterproofing sites at the same time, or lead the single largest project when the work calls for it
Requirements
- 10+ years in the field on commercial roofing and waterproofing projects, including 5+ years as a Superintendent or Foreman running crews
- Hands on knowledge of both roofing assemblies (low slope and steep slope) and waterproofing systems (below grade, plaza deck, traffic coatings)
- Current Working at Heights, WHMIS, First Aid and CPR, and JHSC Level 1 and 2 certification
- Able to read architectural and structural drawings, specifications, and shop drawings, and confirm the work in the field matches them
- Comfortable with digital field tools (Procore, site reporting apps, MS Office)
- Hold a valid Ontario driver's licence with willingness to travel across the GTA and occasionally out of town
- Have the presence to run a site, so crews and general contractors both take you seriously
- Are a resource for other superintendents and foremen when issues arise
- Catch detail problems on the roof before they become warranty issues
- Prioritize safety even when schedules are tight
- Communicate schedule risks and project status proactively to the Project Manager with proposed solutions
