Senior Plumbing Superintendent
We are seeking an experienced Senior Plumbing Superintendent to lead the successful delivery of commercial, industrial, and/or institutional plumbing projects from preconstruction through completion. This role is responsible for providing strong field leadership, coordinating daily site activities, and ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and in accordance with approved plans, specifications, and applicable codes. The successful candidate will serve as a key point of contact for project teams, subcontractors, consultants, inspectors, and clients.
Key responsibilities include supervising plumbing forepersons, journeypersons, apprentices, and subcontractors; reviewing drawings, specifications, schedules, and scope requirements; coordinating manpower, materials, equipment, and deliveries; and monitoring productivity, quality, and installation progress. You will identify potential conflicts, support resolution of technical issues, and work closely with project management and other trades to maintain seamless coordination. The role also includes participating in project meetings, completing progress reporting and site documentation, supporting cost and change management, conducting quality inspections, and ensuring deficiencies are addressed promptly. A strong commitment to health and safety is essential, including enforcing safe work practices, participating in toolbox meetings, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and project-specific requirements.
Applicants should have substantial experience supervising plumbing construction projects, with demonstrated knowledge of commercial plumbing systems, codes, standards, and construction methods. A plumbing trade qualification or relevant technical certification is preferred, along with several years of progressive field leadership experience. Strong planning, scheduling, communication, problem-solving, and organisational skills are required, as is the ability to read and interpret construction documents and use common project reporting tools. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, accountable leader who can motivate teams, manage competing priorities, maintain positive working relationships, and make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment. A valid driver’s licence and the ability to travel between project sites may be required.
