Site Superintendent New Construction

About Novacom

Novacom is a Surrey-based General Contractor delivering commercial and multi-family projects across BC from complex interiors for national brands and institutional clients through to ground-up base building work. We value people relationships innovation and culture and were committed to doing construction differently by continually improving how we work build and collaborate. We believe in partnership and 80% of our work is repeat clients.

The Role

Were hiring a Site Superintendent to lead ground-up wood-frame base building work residential or commercial. It is a growing part of what we do and were looking for someone who has built from the ground up and wants the systems the back office and the trade support of an established GC behind them.

The first assignment starts in Vancouver in mid-October 2026 day shift and runs through to occupancy with more base building work behind it.

What Youd Run

The site start to finish with a Project Manager and Project Coordinator carrying the buyout the draws and the change order paperwork so that you can run the field. You report to our General Superintendent and work alongside the Project Director who owns the client relationship.

• Mobilization: site setup hoarding access lay-down servicing coordination and trade kickoffs
• The structure: concrete Level 1 through three storeys of wood frame sequenced and inspected
• Envelope: the part that decides whether this job goes well. Rainscreen detailing coordination with the envelope consultant and holding the trades to it
• The schedule: built with your PM held with your trades week by week
• Authorities and consultants: City of Vancouver inspections architect and engineer site reviews and the OAC meeting on your site
• Safety: your site your standard backed by Procore and a safety team that shows up
• Documentation: daily logs photos manpower field reports and change events in Procore kept current rather than caught up
• Turnover: deficiencies worked the whole way through occupancy and warranty handover
• Our technology stack: Procore Outbuild and Microsoft 365

What We Need to See

• Ground-up wood-frame commercial residential or multi-family carried yourself as the lead superintendent from mobilization through occupancy. What your title said matters less than whether you carried the job
• BC building envelope experience. You know what a rainscreen assembly should look like before the consultant tells you
• Relationships with Lower Mainland residential trades are a bonus not a requirement. Our PM team runs buyout. On site what counts is holding a crew to the plan
• Comfortable running inspections and site reviews with the City the architect and the engineer
• Procore or the willingness to learn it properly in your first month. We will train you and we will expect you to use it
• Valid drivers license already living in Greater Vancouver and legally entitled to work in Canada

What Were Looking For

• You hold a trade to a date. When Thursdays work isnt done Thursday you are on it that afternoon not at the next trade meeting
• You tell your PM the truth about the schedule early. We would rather have a hard conversation in week six than a surprise in week twenty
• You build it so it lasts. On a wood-frame envelope in this climate the shortcut always comes back and you already know that
• Closeout isnt a scramble for you. Deficiencies get worked the whole way through rather than left to the end
• You want to set the standard not inherit one. This is our first build of its kind and how you run it becomes how we run the next one
• Trades are partners not resources. We hire humble generous people and it shows on our sites

What We Offer

• Pay: $125000 to $145000 base depending on experience
• Annual bonus against a clear scorecard so youll know exactly what youre measured on
• RRSP matching and profit sharing. Everyone here shares in company profitability
• Defined career path. We have clear path for growth and expectations and what moves you up. We cover the training to get you there.
• Tools to do the job properly. Procore Outbuild and Microsoft 365 fully licensed and trained. You wont be running a site out of a text thread
• You finish what you start. We dont pull supers between projects mid-build
• Close-knit team. A flat structure regular one-to-ones with your manager staff lunches and an annual retreat. Small enough that youre known supported and pushed to grow
• Giving back. Locally that includes the ICBA Foundation which funds trades bursaries and mental health support across BC construction. Further afield we send teams to El Salvador every year with Homes Hope 200 homes built for families in need so far
