General Superintendent - Commercial Concrete

General Superintendent — Concrete DivisionGCM Contracting Solutions, Inc.Fort Myers, Florida | Reports to: Director of Operations - Concrete DivisionAbout GCMGCM Contracting Solutions is a Southwest Florida general contractor with a long-standing reputation built on execution, integrity, and partnership. We specialize in industrial construction and tilt-wall, with a self-perform concrete division that is well-established, agile, flexible, and positioned for growth.The proof of who we are is in the people who keep working with us. Our subcontractors take our calls first because we treat them as partners, not vendors — every arrangement is structured as a win-win for GCM, our clients, and the trades. Our bills get paid like clockwork. Our GC peers, owners, and design partners across Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties refer work to us because we deliver. Our team tenure runs from six months to thirty-eight-plus years — and that tenure is a direct reflection of how we operate.We are growing. We are hiring this role to support that growth without losing what makes us who we are.The OpportunityWe are hiring a General Superintendent to lead field production for our concrete division. This is a senior leadership role with real authority and real ownership over how the work gets put in place across our active jobsites.You will lead a direct team of currently 15 to 25 craft employees performing layout, formwork, carpentry, and small in-place pours, and you will oversee all concrete-division subcontractors on projects ranging from $2 million to $12 million. Our project mix is primarily industrial and tilt-wall, with flatwork throughout and masonry oversight as needed.This position is local. Project sites are in Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties. You will be home every night.This role is performance-based and not micromanaged. You will be given the authority, the resources, and the trust to run field production the right way. You will be measured on what you produce.Summary of ResponsibilitiesLead field production across all concrete-division projectsDirect leadership, mentorship, and development of currently a 15–25 person craft teamOversee, coordinate, and partner with all concrete-division subcontractorsAllocate manpower, equipment, and formwork systems across multiple active jobsPlan and manage materials — quantities, timing, deliveries, on-site logisticsProvide constructability and schedule input during preconstructionSet and enforce quality standards for layout, formwork, tilt-up panels, flatwork, and small poursLead safety culture and OSHA compliance across all division activityOversee masonry coordination when self-performed or run through the divisionBuild the bench — develop foremen, lead carpenters, and project superintendentsMaintain GCM’s reputation with GCs, owners, inspectors, and trade partnersPerformance Results DescriptionThe following describes the measurable results this position is expected to produce. Each is an outcome — not just an activity.1. Field Production Throughput. Concrete-division work — layout, forming, carpentry, tilt-up panel casting and erection, flatwork, and small pours — is consistently completed at or ahead of schedule across all active projects. Cycle times for repetitive operations (panel forming, pour days, strip-and-reset) improve year over year through standardization and crew training.2. Crew Leadership and Development. Currently 15–25 person direct workforce is fully staffed, properly skilled, and aligned to project demand. New hires are productive within 30 days. Foremen and lead carpenters have a clear path to grow into superintendent roles. Voluntary turnover is low and tenure is rising. Performance issues are addressed promptly and fairly.3. Subcontractor Partnership. Concrete-division subcontractors regard GCM as their preferred GC. Scopes are clearly defined, schedules are honored, payment is on time, and disputes are rare. When issues arise, they are resolved through partnership — not through escalation or contract leverage.4. Resource Allocation. Manpower, equipment, formwork systems, and materials are deployed across active projects with maximum efficiency. Idle time is minimized. Equipment is maintained, tracked, and rotated to avoid bottlenecks. No project falls behind because another was over-resourced.5. Material Planning and Cost Control. Material orders are placed accurately and on time. Concrete is ordered to the load, not by guess. Waste is tracked and reduced. Field production unit costs (per yard placed, per square foot formed, per panel cast) are measured and trending favorably.6. Quality and Standards. Pour quality, finish standards, formwork accuracy, embed placement, and tilt-up panel tolerances meet or exceed structural and architectural specifications on every project. ACI standards and Florida Building Code requirements are met without exception. Punch lists are short. Rework is rare.7. Safety. Zero recordable incidents is the target. OSHA standards are the floor; GCM’s standards are higher. Toolbox talks, JHAs, and pre-task planning are real and consistent. Field culture treats safety as part of the work, not as paperwork.8. Preconstruction and Constructability Input. Estimating and project management receive timely, accurate field input on means and methods, schedule logic, crew loading, and constructability before contracts are signed. Field-driven savings and schedule improvements are documented during preconstruction.9. Cross-Project Standards. Formwork systems, pour procedures, layout protocols, QC checklists, and safety practices are consistent across all jobs. Knowledge transfers between projects rather than being rebuilt each time. The division gets stronger with every project, not just busier.10. Reputation and Repeat Work. GCs, owners, designers, inspectors, and trade partners across Southwest Florida continue to identify GCM’s concrete division as a top-tier self-perform operation. Repeat work and referrals from prior projects increase year over year.The Person We’re Looking ForYou’ve spent serious time in the field running concrete work in Florida. You know tilt-wall — the panel layout, the casting bed, the embeds, the lift sequence, the bracing, the patching. You know industrial flatwork and what a good finish looks like in ninety-five-degree humidity. You read structural drawings carefully, and you catch the things that aren’t quite right before they get poured.You lead by being respected, not by being feared. Your foremen want to work for you because you back them up, you teach them, and you don’t pull rank when you’re wrong. Your subcontractors take your call first because you’ve proven you’ll treat them fairly.You think in systems. You’re already mentally building the standard formwork package, the standard QC checklist, the standard pour-day sequence — because you know that’s how a division scales without losing quality.You’re comfortable with autonomy. You don’t need someone over your shoulder, and you don’t want to be that person to your supers either. You want to own the result.Qualifications10+ years in concrete construction, with at least 3 years in a multi-project field leadership roleDemonstrated tilt-wall experience on industrial or commercial projectsStrong working knowledge of the Florida Building Code, ACI standards, and the threshold inspection processOSHA 30 minimum; ACI Field Testing Tech I preferredProven track record running self-perform crews of 15+Experience coordinating concrete subcontractors on projects $2M and aboveComfortable in scheduling software and basic project-management toolsValid Florida driver’s license with a clean MVRBilingual English/Spanish is a strong plusLocation and TravelBased in Southwest Florida.
