Ceramic Tile Superintendent
\nFull-Time | Field-Based – Columbia or Charleston, SC | Direct Hire | $100K–$130K

\n\n

About the Opportunity

\n\n

Our client is a long-established commercial flooring and tile contractor with 70+ years of experience specializing in ceramic tile, terrazzo, natural stone, LVT, and carpet. Serving retail, education, municipal, government, and military sectors, they're known in their market for quality, integrity, and honesty — and they keep their entire installation workforce in-house and internally trained rather than relying on independent contractors. Family-feel and highly relationship-driven, with long employee tenures, they're now expanding their South Carolina division and need permanent boots on the ground in the region. This is a chance to be the face of that expansion and grow into the senior superintendent seat over the next few years.

\n\n

The Role

\n\n

Our client is looking for a hands-on Ceramic Tile Superintendent to oversee commercial tile installation across 3–5 active projects at a time (average project ~$500K, up to $2M). You'll perform layouts on complex installs, coordinate with GCs and construction managers onsite, manage material logistics, and step in hands-on when a project needs it. You'll bounce between jobsites rather than camp at one, attend pre-construction meetings (some projects are bid two years out), and hold your own with large construction managers and heavy safety requirements. A company vehicle is provided, and relocation to the region is expected (and supported).

\n\n

What You'll Do

\n\n

Oversee ceramic tile installation across 3–5 active commercial projects
Perform layouts on complex commercial tile installations
Liaise with GCs and construction managers onsite, navigating conflicts and safety requirements
Manage material logistics — track inventory and source materials when crews run short
Step in hands-on for installation when timelines demand it (e.g., next-day Certificate of Occupancy)
Prep concrete and install membranes/waterproofing as needed
Attend pre-construction coordination meetings
Oversee multiple subcontracted crews (typically 4–10 people per project across several projects)
Obtain OSHA badging for private jobsite access as required

\n\n

What You Bring (Must-Haves)

\n\n

3+ years of hands-on commercial ceramic tile installation experience
Ability to personally execute every step of tile installation, not just oversee
Prior superintendent experience
Knowledge of layouts, concrete prep, waterproofing, and membrane installation
OSHA 30 certification (or willingness to obtain)
Strong communication and organizational skills; comfort with SharePoint and PM software

\n\n

Nice to have: terrazzo, natural stone, large-format tile, or glass mosaic experience; existing GC relationships in the Carolinas; estimating or scoping experience.

\n\n

Not a fit: residential-only backgrounds, carpet/vinyl/flooring generalists without deep ceramic tile expertise, or anyone with integrity issues (honesty is non-negotiable here).

\n\n

Compensation & Benefits

\n\n

$100K–$130K plus company-based bonus potential and a company vehicle • comprehensive benefits package.
