Senior Superintendent
We are seeking an experienced Senior Superintendent to provide strategic and operational leadership across complex construction projects. The successful candidate will oversee site activities from mobilisation through completion, ensuring work is delivered safely, efficiently, on schedule, and in accordance with approved plans, specifications, budgets, and quality standards. This role will require a highly organised leader who can coordinate multiple teams, manage competing priorities, and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining project execution plans, reviewing programmes and resource requirements, monitoring progress, and implementing corrective actions where necessary. You will lead site supervision teams, coordinate subcontractor performance, resolve technical and operational issues, and ensure that construction activities comply with relevant legislation, permits, inspection requirements, and company procedures. The Senior Superintendent will also contribute to forecasting, cost control, change management, risk mitigation, progress reporting, and project close-out. A strong focus on health, safety, environmental protection, quality assurance, and continuous improvement will be essential.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a senior site leadership or superintendent role, ideally gained on large-scale, complex, or technically demanding projects. A relevant trade, technical, engineering, construction management, or equivalent qualification is desirable, together with a strong understanding of construction methods, sequencing, contract requirements, and site controls. You will need proven experience managing multidisciplinary teams, subcontractors, and stakeholders, along with the ability to interpret drawings, specifications, schedules, and technical documentation. Excellent communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and negotiation skills are required, as well as a practical, collaborative, and accountable approach. The role may involve working across active project sites and requires flexibility to meet project demands.
