With the 2022 NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) codes requiring a Construction Superintendent (CS) alongside a Site Safety Manager or Coordinator to be on site for projects 10 stories and above, there'll be an increase in demand for Construction Superintendents. Already, buildings 10 stories or less must have a licensed CS on site.
According to many job sites, Construction Superintendents in NYC are among the country's top earners. You can join this league of high-earning, in-demand professionals by taking the following steps:
Step 1 - Meet the requirement
To obtain a Construction Superintendent Registration, you must meet all the following qualifications prior to applying for the registration:
be at least eighteen (18) years old
be able to read and write the English language
be fit to perform the work authorized by the registration
have good moral character so as not to adversely impact your fitness to perform the duties and responsibilities of a Construction Superintendent
have satisfactorily completed a Department-approved 40-hour site safety course
possess a valid Site Safety Training (SST) Supervisor card
You must also meet one (1) of the following experience qualifications:
have three (3) years of experience serving as a full-time project supervisor with on-site responsibility over the construction or demolition of buildings in New York City, within the five (5) years prior to application; or
have five (5) years of experience serving as a full-time project supervisor with on-site responsibility over the construction or demolition of buildings in the United States, within the eight (8) years prior to application; or
existing site safety managers and coordinators may register to become a construction superintendent undergoing an additional background investigation.
You must also have completed a DOB-approved 40-hour Site Safety Manager Course within one year before application date and a 10-hour Occupational Safety and Health course in Construction Safety and Health or Hazard Recognition within two (2) years immediately preceding the date of application.
You can submit your transcripts if you intend using your educational credits in place of experience.
If you haven't completed your Site Safety Training and OSHA courses, get started by registering now.
Step 2 - Fill out the application forms
Once you meet one of the requirements above, the next step is to complete the forms below. It’s best to not leave any field blank. Also type in the fields, rather than filling out with a pen.
