Owns field execution capability across all active projects. The General Superintendent is accountable for how the company builds work: the standard of craft supervision, the allocation of craft labor and equipment across projects, constructability input during estimating, and the field safety culture. Where the Senior Project Manager owns the portfolio's money, the General Superintendent owns the portfolio's ability to physically build it.
