Construction Site Supervisor (Manufacturing)

IEM is currently seeking a Site Supervisor for our San Antonio location and will report into the Construction Manager. In this role, the Site Supervisor will direct, administer, and manage the construction of commercial office spaces and manufacturing facilities. This position requires an individual experienced in commercial tenant improvements to join our team. The role serves as the company’s principal representative on assigned projects, overseeing all matters related to construction coordination, quality control, planning, and scheduling.

This role requires a startup mindset: the ability to operate with agility and resourcefulness, wear multiple hats, take ownership beyond defined responsibilities, and perform additional duties as needed to support the team and organization.

This position will be based temporarily in NE San Antonio while our new manufacturing plant is coming online. Our permanent location is approximately 25 minutes away at Brooks, 7515 Inner Circle Dr., San Antonio, 78235. The position is also 100% in-office and does not offer remote work.

• Provides guidance and leadership, coordinating the activities of subcontractors to ensure successful project completion, including managing changes in scope, costs, and schedules.
• Manages the project using short-term schedules derived from the master schedule provided by the construction manager. Prepares scheduling reports that compare the master schedule with actual job progress, enabling proactive schedule management to meet project contract requirements.
• Identify project risks and implement mitigation strategies
• Meets with subcontractors and vendors weekly to coordinate scheduling, approve alternates, and address material changes or shortages.
• Maintains a daily report documenting weather conditions, construction progress, type of work performed, and other pertinent information, such as delays.
• Maintains complete and up-to-date job files, including correspondence, contracts, budgets, and other documents throughout the project lifecycle.
