Job Overview

Own the Site. Build to the Spec. Deliver the Experience.

True North Custom Homes is looking for a Superintendent who takes pride in building it right. This is a hands-on, in-the-field role for someone who knows their specs, runs a tight schedule, and holds every trade to a high standard.

We are an award-winning custom home builder recognized as Best New Home Builder in the Lincoln Journal Star Lincoln's Choice Awards — 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 — building homes in the $1M–$4M range with 14–18 active builds running simultaneously and over $15M in annual volume, growing toward $20M.

If you are a builder who knows the details, keeps the job site spotless, and treats every homeowner like it's your own home — we want to talk.

What This Role Is:

The Superintendent is the on-site owner of the build. You are responsible for 4–7 active custom homes at a time, from foundation through handover and warranty. That means knowing every job's construction specs cold, building exactly to them, keeping the schedule current and running your work to it, coordinating subcontractors, and making sure every home meets the True North quality standard.

This role operates within a detailed system of SOPs, phase checklists, and BuilderTrend-based project management. The right person does not need to build the system — they need to follow it with discipline.

Key Responsibilities:

Specs, Schedule & Quality

Know the construction specs on every job and build to them completely and accurately — reviewing them at the start of every phase
Keep the schedule current in BuilderTrend and run your work to it
Complete and sign phase checklists — foundation, framing, rough-ins, and trim — before the next trade begins
Comb plans and verify field conditions, openings, and measurements to catch issues before they become problems
Make sure all work meets code and call in inspections

Job Site Standards

Visit every active site regularly, keeping lot conditions, cleanliness, signage, and the job box to the True North standard
Enforce daily cleanup with every trade
Prepare sites for weather and operate the skid loader as needed

BuilderTrend & Documentation

Complete 3–4 daily logs per job per week with photos
Keep BuilderTrend to-dos current and drive them to completion
Log all client communication and respond to every homeowner message

Selections, Change Orders & Budget

Verify selections and change orders are approved before any trade starts work — never work without them
Initiate change orders when field conditions or requests require them
Review the monthly draw for accuracy — verify invoices match bids and completed work, and document variances and back charges

Subcontractor Coordination

Schedule and manage subcontractors, including weekends when needed
Hold trades to True North quality, schedule, and cleanliness standards
Escalate no-shows and delays promptly

Client Experience

Be a professional, friendly face of True North on site
Lead plumbing, electrical, trim, and final walk-throughs
Provide regular updates and answer homeowner questions

Finish, Handover & Warranty

Build and manage the finish schedule
Complete your punch list, lead the homeowner blue tape walk, and run handover day
Complete the 30-day punch list and homeowner sign-off
Conduct 11-month warranty walk-throughs when assigned

What We Are Looking For:

3+ years of residential construction experience — custom home experience a plus
Strong working knowledge of residential construction phases, inspections, and trade sequencing
Ability to read plans and specs and catch discrepancies
BuilderTrend experience preferred — candidates without it must show they can learn quickly
Excellent communication skills with trades, homeowners, and the office
Organized, detail-oriented, and disciplined about documentation and follow-through
Takes ownership — if it's on your job, it's your responsibility
Valid driver's license required — this role is in the field daily
Must reside within 15 miles of Lincoln, NE

Why True North:

A company with a defined operating system, clear SOPs, field checklists, and a job manual built for this role — you are not starting from scratch
A culture built on Relationships First, Uncompromising Craftsmanship, Trust the Process, and Execute with Ownership
Company truck provided
Bonus potential
A growing company with real opportunity for the right person to grow with it
Award-winning reputation and a brand that clients actively refer

Benefits: Company truck, 401(k), Paid time off, and Bonus opportunity

Pay: $65,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
Paid time off

Application Question(s):

Do you have experience with custom or high-end homes?
Do you have 3+ years of residential construction experience?
Do you currently reside within 15 miles of Lincoln, NE?
Have you used BuilderTrend? If not, what construction management software have you used?

Work Location: In person
