Who We Are

Steel Ridge Construction and Blue Rock Homes are sister companies serving Huntsville and Madison. Steel Ridge
handles renovations and remodels that make a family’s home work better for how they live; Blue Rock builds
quality move-up homes made for gathering. We’re a small, growing team that runs on three core values:
Communication, Partnership, and Stewardship. We do quality work, we take care of our clients’ homes like
they’re our own, and we keep people in the loop.

The Role

This is a superintendent-in-training position for someone who still likes to swing a hammer. You’ll split your time
between doing hands-on carpentry and remodel work yourself and learning to run jobs: scheduling trades,
keeping homeowners informed, checking quality, and keeping projects moving. Most of your time will be on Steel
Ridge remodels, with support on Blue Rock new-home builds as needed. You’ll work directly alongside our
Superintendent and learn the job from the ground up, with a clear path to running your own projects.

What You'll Do

On the Tools

Perform hands-on remodel work: demo, framing, blocking, drywall patch and repair, trim, doors, hardware,
punch work, and minor repairs across trades.
Prep work areas so the next trade or the inspector can get started: make-ready tasks, layout, and finishing
out small items so subs aren’t held up.
Set up and maintain dust containment, floor protection, and a clean, safe jobsite, especially in occupied
homes where families are still living.
Run materials and handle errands to keep work moving.
Complete warranty and service items after projects close.

Learning to Lead the Job

Use our project management software every day. It’s our official source of information: daily logs, schedules,
photos, and updates.
Help maintain job schedules and the three-week look-ahead; attend weekly scheduling meetings.
Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, deliveries, and equipment so there are no “dead days” onsite.
Schedule inspections and make sure subs call in theirs on time.
Perform quality control checks throughout the project and work with subcontractors to fix issues.
Communicate with homeowners daily on remodel projects: what’s happening today, what’s next, and any changes. Be a friendly, professional face of the company in their home.
Build good relationships with our subcontractors and help bring on new ones.
Take progress photos for team updates, client updates, and project records.
Other duties as assigned.

What We are Looking For

At least 1–2 years of experience in a construction trade (carpentry strongly preferred), or as an assistant
superintendent or assistant construction manager with another company.
Solid carpentry and general remodel skills, and the ability to read plans.
A strong desire to grow into a Superintendent role.
Clear, respectful communication with homeowners, subcontractors, and teammates.
Organized, reliable, and detail-oriented, with a focus on quality.
Comfortable with a smartphone and willing to learn project management software.
Problem solver who takes ownership and follows through.
Professionalism and integrity in clients’ homes and on every job site.

Why Join Us

Top-of-market hourly pay for this role in the Huntsville area, plus overtime.
Paid holidays, PTO, health insurance, and 401(k).
Real mentorship and a clear path to Superintendent. We’re growing and want to promote from within.
A small team where your work is seen and your input matters.
Quality-focused work you can be proud of. No cutting corners.

Tools, Truck & Physical Requirements

Your own basic hand tools and small power tools.
Reliable truck that can be used during work hours to haul materials to and from jobsites and suppliers.
Valid state-issued driver’s license.
Frequently lift and/or move up to 75 lbs, and occasionally up to 100 lbs.
Comfortable in confined spaces such as crawlspaces and attics, and working from ladders, scaffolding, androofs.
