Senior Superintendent

Company Description

With over 30 years of construction experience within the Chicago and San Diego markets, Premium West has earned a reputation for trustworthiness, confidence, and exceptional craftsmanship in the Southern California construction industry. Operating through three specialized entities: Premium West Construction, Premium West Concrete, and Premium West Electrical, the company provides tailored solutions for diverse project needs. Premium West Inc. specializes in projects ranging from ground-up, tenant improvements, and on-call service contracting.

Role Description

Premium West, Inc. is seeking an experienced Senior Superintendent specializing in Tenant Improvement (TI) projects to lead field operations for fast-paced commercial interior build-outs. This role requires strong leadership, proactive trade coordination, and proven experience working in occupied environments under aggressive schedules. The position is well suited for a Superintendent who thrives in a hands-on role and is seeking to primarily work within the San Diego and Orange County markets.

The Superintendent will oversee a diverse portfolio of TI project types, including national retail brands, restaurants ranging from local operators to quick-service chains, grocery outlets, medical and clinical offices, automotive dealerships, and professional office spaces. Projects often run concurrently and demand a high level of organization, communication, and accountability.

The ideal candidate brings deep field experience within their core trade, paired with an entrepreneurial mindset. This individual will play a key role in helping establish structure, workflows, and on-site protocols as Premium West continues to build and scale its Tenant Improvement division. Strong multitasking abilities and clear communication are essential, as the Superintendent will regularly interface with clients, project executives, project managers, and internal operations teams to ensure seamless execution.

Premium West takes pride in its ability to self-perform multiple trades. In addition to managing subcontractors, the TI Superintendent may coordinate closely with Premium West Concrete, Premium West Electric, and our in-house finish carpentry crews to accelerate schedules, resolve field issues, and maintain quality control. The Superintendent is also expected to contribute trusted subcontractor relationships and recommendations to support consistent, high-performing project delivery across current and future TI work.
