Superintendent- Underground Wet Utilities- Water, Sewer & Storm
We are seeking an experienced Superintendent to oversee the construction of underground wet utility infrastructure, including water, sanitary sewer and stormwater systems. The successful candidate will manage field operations from mobilisation through completion, ensuring work is delivered safely, efficiently, on schedule and in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, permits and quality standards. This role requires strong leadership, sound technical knowledge and the ability to coordinate multiple crews, subcontractors and site activities in a demanding construction environment.
Responsibilities will include planning daily and weekly work activities; supervising excavation, trenching, shoring, pipe installation, manhole construction, utility tie-ins, backfilling, compaction and testing; coordinating with project management, engineers, inspectors, surveyors and other trades; reviewing plans and identifying constructability issues; monitoring labour, equipment, materials and productivity; and maintaining accurate records, reports and daily site documentation. You will be responsible for enforcing site safety requirements, environmental controls and traffic-management measures, while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and approved method statements. The Superintendent will also support inspections, pressure testing, CCTV surveys, commissioning, punch-list completion and final handover activities.
Candidates should have substantial experience supervising underground utility or civil infrastructure projects, with proven knowledge of water, sewer and storm drainage installation methods. Experience interpreting construction drawings, profiles, specifications and survey information is essential, along with the ability to identify and resolve field issues promptly. A recognised construction or civil engineering qualification is advantageous, as are relevant safety certifications and competency in site reporting or construction management systems. The ideal candidate will be organised, decisive and commercially aware, with excellent communication skills and the ability to motivate teams while maintaining high standards of workmanship. A valid driving licence and flexibility to work across active construction sites are required.
