Site Superintendent – High-Rise Concrete

Kelowna, BC | Full-Time | In-Office / On-Site

MatchBox Consulting Group is working with a major Western Canadian developer–builder to recruit a Site Superintendent for a landmark 22-storey concrete high-rise in sunny Kelowna. This is a $100M+ multi-family project and is intended to be a cornerstone, career-defining build for the organization in the Okanagan.

This opportunity is ideal for an experienced high-rise superintendent who wants to take ownership of a flagship project while enjoying a better lifestyle, sunshine, and a strong sense of place.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a “fill-the-seat” superintendent role.

• One major project, not bouncing between sites

• A high-visibility, legacy build in a growing market

• Strong backing from a well-capitalized ownership group

• Real autonomy and authority on site

The company is willing to relocate the right person, though candidates with Kelowna or Okanagan experience are strongly preferred.

They are prepared to pay handsomely for the right level of experience.

• ~$100M construction value

• Purpose-built multi-family

• Long-term schedule with proper planning and execution

• Lead, mentor, and set expectations for site personnel

What You Bring

• 5+ years as a Site Superintendent on multi-family concrete projects

• Proven experience on projects 100+ units (high-rise experience required)

• Strong knowledge of:

  • Concrete structures

  • Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems

  • Underground parkades

  • Building envelope and life-safety systems

• Solid understanding of WorkSafeBC and OH&S regulations
