Sr General Superintendent
We are seeking an experienced Sr General Superintendent to provide senior leadership across complex construction projects from preconstruction through completion. This role will oversee field operations, coordinate multiple project teams, and ensure work is delivered safely, efficiently, on schedule, and in accordance with approved plans, specifications, budgets, and quality standards. The successful candidate will serve as a key point of contact for project leadership, trade partners, consultants, and clients, promoting clear communication and effective collaboration throughout the project lifecycle.
Responsibilities include establishing site logistics and execution plans; directing and mentoring Superintendents, Assistant Superintendents, and field personnel; coordinating subcontractor activities and resolving sequencing or resource conflicts; reviewing schedules, drawings, submittals, and scopes of work; monitoring progress and identifying risks, delays, and cost impacts; and leading regular site meetings and inspections. You will ensure compliance with safety policies, regulatory requirements, quality-control procedures, and environmental standards. The role will also involve supporting preconstruction planning, evaluating constructability, contributing to procurement and bid reviews, maintaining accurate project documentation, and working with project managers to develop recovery plans when required.
Candidates should bring extensive experience leading large-scale commercial, industrial, institutional, or similarly complex construction projects, with a strong understanding of field operations, scheduling, contracts, building systems, and construction means and methods. Proven success managing multiple teams and subcontractors, interpreting technical documentation, and delivering projects in demanding environments is essential. Strong leadership, communication, organisation, decision-making, and problem-solving skills are required, along with the ability to build productive relationships at all levels. A relevant degree, trade qualification, or equivalent practical experience is preferred, as are recognised safety credentials and proficiency with construction management and scheduling software. Regular travel, extended site presence, or relocation may be required depending on project needs.
