Director of Field Operations

Field Superintendent — High-End Residential Construction

Stillman Properties · Charlotte, NC

About the Role

Stillman Properties builds high-end custom and spec homes throughout the Charlotte area, and we're looking for a seasoned Field Superintendent to own day-to-day field operations. This is a senior, in-the-dirt leadership role for someone who has run complex custom residential jobs, knows how to hold a schedule and a budget, and can keep subs, inspectors, and crews moving without constant oversight. You'll be the person responsible for what happens on site — quality, safety, sequence, and pace.

You'll work directly alongside the Owner and Project Manager as a peer on the team — not through layers of management. This is a role with real autonomy and direct access to ownership, for someone ready to run the field and be trusted to do it.

• Location: Charlotte, NC
• Reports to / works with: Owner and Project Manager
• Compensation: Competitive, based on experience

What You'll Do

• Run daily field operations across active builds, from sitework through final punch
• Own the project schedule in the field — sequencing trades, anticipating bottlenecks, and keeping jobs on or ahead of timeline
• Manage and coordinate subcontractors and vendors, holding them to quality and schedule expectations
• Oversee sitework, grading, and survey layout; read and verify against site plans and grading plans
• Operate small-to-medium machinery as needed to keep work moving
• Run quality control to a high-end finish standard — the details that separate custom from production
• Enforce job-site safety and maintain a clean, organized site
• Document daily progress, issues, and changes in JobTread, including daily logs, photos, schedules, and reporting
• Communicate field status clearly and proactively to ownership and the Project Manager

What You Bring

• 10+ years of hands-on field experience in residential construction, with a strong track record in high-end / custom homes
• Deep working knowledge of sitework, grading, and surveying
• Ability to operate small-to-medium machinery competently and safely
• Proven ability to run multiple trades and hold a schedule
• Tech-proficient and comfortable on a computer, tablet, and phone — able to learn and fully use JobTread (or comparable construction management software) for scheduling, daily logs, and reporting
• Sharp eye for quality and finish detail
• Strong leadership presence with subs and crews; firm, organized, and respected
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

Nice to Have

• Experience taking custom homes from raw land through certificate of occupancy
• Familiarity with Charlotte-area jurisdictions, inspectors, and the permitting/inspection rhythm
• OSHA 30
• Equipment/heavy-machinery certifications
