Superintendents are project managers on some of the most influential buildings in Greater Memphis, including the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. The role oversees day-to-day operations, manages sub-contractors, and communicates with clients. Superintendents are at the frontline of defense when it comes to job site safety, monitoring quality and efficacy and looking for ways to improve.
