Texas Commercial Construction Superintendent

About Rupe Companies

Rupe Companies is a vertically integrated commercial real estate development and construction firm based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. With annual revenue of approximately $50M and ambitious plans to scale to $100M, we are committed to delivering high-quality development projects throughout the Southwest and Midwest. Our operations emphasize collaboration, innovation, excellence, and growth.

Position Summary

Rupe Properties, LLC is seeking an experienced Commercial Construction Superintendent to lead field operations for a large national retailer and other commercial construction projects across the Fort Worth, Texas area, with project scopes generally ranging from $1 million to $5 million. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can take a project from groundbreaking to close-out, driving the schedule, managing subcontractors, enforcing quality and safety, and representing the company professionally at every level.

Rupe is both a development and a construction company, and this role reflects that. Not every project is a clean handoff from the development team. The right candidate understands that there will be times when they are expected to support development on design coordination, permitting, and the resolution of on-the-ground issues that are difficult to manage remotely from our Oklahoma office. This position calls for a highly organized, proactive professional who can work independently across multiple Fort Worth-area sites while maintaining strong, consistent communication with the office and project team.

Key Responsibilities

Field Operations and Project Execution

• Manage day-to-day on-site operations for commercial construction projects, ensuring work is completed safely, on time, and within budget.
• Lead a project for a large national retailer from start to finish, from site work and groundbreaking through punch list and close-out.
• Lead daily morning meetings, monitor job progress, and maintain jobsite cleanliness and organization.
• Interpret and enforce project plans, specifications, and schedules.

Scheduling and Subcontractor Management

• Coordinate, schedule, and supervise subcontractors, vendors, and field personnel, holding each accountable to scope, quality, and timeline.
• Build and maintain the project schedule, proactively identifying and resolving conflicts before they impact the critical path.
• Use Procore for documentation, daily logs, RFI tracking, and photo management, and Bluebeam to review and annotate construction documents and submittals.

Quality, Safety and Compliance

• Conduct site inspections and enforce safety compliance with OSHA standards.
• Drive quality control throughout the build and manage punch list completion to Rupe standards.
• Coordinate inspections and ensure work passes municipal, utility, and third-party requirements.

Development Coordination and Cross-Functional Support

• Assist the development team, as needed, with design coordination, permitting, and the resolution of field issues that are difficult to manage remotely from Oklahoma.
• Serve as the company’s on-the-ground problem solver in the Fort Worth area, bridging the gap between development intent and field execution.

Communication and Stakeholder Representation

• Communicate regularly and proactively with Project Managers and the office regarding schedule updates, field conditions, and problem resolution.
• Professionally represent Rupe Companies with owners, municipalities, inspectors, utility companies, and neighboring property owners.

Qualifications

Required

• Proven experience and leadership skills to successfully manage subcontractors and build a project for a large national retailer from start to finish.
• Strong knowledge of commercial construction methods, materials, and building codes, with demonstrated scheduling, safety, quality control, and subcontractor management skills.
• Highly organized, proactive, and capable of working independently while maintaining strong communication with the office and project team.
• Understanding that Rupe is both a development and construction company, with a willingness to support development on design coordination, permitting, and field issue resolution.
• Willingness to travel under the company’s current per diem policy and to work across multiple Fort Worth-area projects as needed.
• Ability to professionally represent the company with owners, municipalities, inspectors, utility companies, and neighboring property owners.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.

Preferred

• 1 to 3+ years of experience as a Superintendent on commercial construction projects in the $1 million to $5 million range.
• Proven, hands-on experience with Procore, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Project.
• Technically savvy, with the ability to manage project data digitally and troubleshoot issues efficiently.
• OSHA 30 certification.

Work Environment

• Full-time, field-based role working across multiple Fort Worth-area job sites, with travel required and supported under the company’s current per diem policy.
• Must be comfortable working independently and managing competing priorities across more than one active project.
• Must be able to work outdoors in various conditions and lift up to 50 pounds as needed.
