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 we're 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 We're 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 we're 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 You'd 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 driver's license, already living in Greater Vancouver, and legally entitled to work in Canada
What We're Looking For You hold a trade to a date. When Thursday's work isn't 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 isn't 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: $125,000 to $145,000 base, depending on experience
Annual bonus against a explicit scorecard, so you'll know exactly what you're 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 won't be running a site out of a text thread
You finish what you start. We don't 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 you're 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
