  Easy, Excellent Meetings
     
 

Are you looking for an upscale conference facility in downtown Boston? Look no further than 101 Federal Street. It took Commodore 10 weeks to build this state-of-the-art conference facility, but it will take you only 3 minutes to plan a meeting there! 

You won’t be competing with brides for the hotel ballroom, or listening to the pitter patter of bare feet and squealing babies on the way to the pool. This facility is dedicated to providing clients with one thing, the best (and most delicious) meeting space in town.

We're Hiring
Commodore is always looking for top talent. Right now we have an immediate need for Superintendents!
 Superintendents                                                       Top | Menu
         
  Superintendent *Immediate Opportunity*

At Commodore, we look for Superintendents who are skilled communicators, experienced and accountable. Their leadership on-site consistently delivers complex projects on time, on budget, safely and with Raving Fans. They’re driven by perfection and they have the technical and interpersonal skills to achieve it. 

Superintendents report to the Project Executive in Charge. The majority of their time is spent in the field, supported by a project management team based in the office. Superintendents are responsible for developing, understanding and maintaining the project schedule. They work closely with the PM during project set-up. They maintain a firm grasp on the project strategy and they understand the concept of cost control, versus getting things done at any cost. A 4-year college degree is preferred, with 5-7 years of relevant experience in Commodore’s markets...
