We are seeking an Assistant Superintendent in the San Antonio area who is hungry to learn, takes pride in doing things the right way, and wants to be part of a high-performing team that balances humility, hard work, and humor while building some of the coolest homes in Texas.

At Dalgleish, we are guided by core principles that define how we work and why we excel: we Sweat the Details to elevate every decision and finish, Seek to Serve by honoring the trust placed in us, Do Hard Things by thriving on challenges, and Leverage the Lessons by learning from every experience to continually improve. These values aren't slogans—they are lived out daily in the way we build, collaborate, and grow.

Let us tell you more about the opportunity to work with this great team!

The Opportunity

As a Superintendent, you’ll be a key member of the field build team on a large-scale, architecturally complex private residence. This is a home built at the scale and logistical intensity of a commercial project, but executed with the craftsmanship, detailing, and precision of the highest-end custom home.

Reporting to a Senior Builder, you’ll help manage the day-to-day execution on site, coordinating trades, monitoring quality, and assisting in keeping the build moving forward smoothly. Your role is critical in bridging scope-level leadership with project- wide momentum, ensuring the design intent is carried through to every layer of the build.

You will play a key role on the build team, collaborating with trade partners in staying ahead of schedule by helping ensure scopes are well-prepared before work begins. You’ll keep a close eye on site logistics, walk the project daily, and provide input when field conditions or drawings don’t align. Your boots will wear out, your clothes will get dirty, and your teammates will come to count on your reliability and integrity.

This role is for someone who:

• Has expert-level knowledge of residential construction and thrives in technically complex, fast-paced environments
• Has experience managing high-end scopes on large custom homes—or commercial projects with refined detail expectations
• Works best as part of a tight-knit, elite team, balancing independent accountability with team collaboration
• Can lead field operations for defined scopes, ensuring they are delivered on time, to spec, and with exceptional quality
• Takes pride in building homes that are as structurally impressive as they are beautiful

Key Responsibilities:

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of construction experience, ideally including large-scale residential or luxury commercial work
• Strong ability to read and interpret architectural drawings and detailed specifications
• Comfort working within job site tech platforms like Procore and Bluebeam
• Proven coordination skills with high-performing trades and multiple simultaneous scopes
• Strong sense of ownership over your work and pride in craftsmanship
• A team-first mindset, with the confidence to lead and the humility to collaborate

Why Dalgleish

• Competitive salary and performance/project-based bonuses.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Retirement Benefits.
• Paid holidays and PTO.
• Employee (Family) events.
• The opportunity to work for a company offers the best of both worlds: the systems and stability of a larger firm with the heart and influence of a family-oriented business, where your voice is heard, and your contributions truly matter.
