Superintendent- Heavy Civil
We are seeking an experienced Heavy Civil Superintendent to lead the safe, efficient, and successful delivery of complex infrastructure and construction projects. This role is responsible for managing field operations from mobilisation through completion, coordinating crews, subcontractors, equipment, materials, and site activities to ensure work is completed in accordance with approved plans, specifications, schedules, budgets, and quality standards. Projects may include highways, bridges, earthworks, utilities, drainage, concrete structures, marine works, or other major civil infrastructure.
The Superintendent will provide daily leadership on site, establish work plans, assign resources, monitor productivity, and maintain close coordination with project management, engineering teams, clients, inspectors, and subcontractors. Key responsibilities include reviewing drawings and contract requirements, identifying potential construction issues, maintaining schedules, tracking progress, supporting cost control, enforcing quality procedures, and ensuring accurate site documentation. You will lead daily coordination meetings, inspect completed work, resolve field conflicts, and implement practical solutions to keep the project moving. A strong commitment to health, safety, and environmental standards is essential, including the authority to stop work when unsafe conditions are identified.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience supervising heavy civil construction, preferably on large-scale or technically complex projects. Strong knowledge of construction methods, sequencing, civil infrastructure standards, site logistics, and relevant regulations is required. The ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, schedules, and survey information is essential, along with proven experience managing crews and subcontractors in a fast-paced environment. Excellent communication, organisation, decision-making, and leadership skills are expected. A recognised trade, technical, or construction management qualification is an asset, as are relevant safety certifications and experience with project management or field reporting systems. This position requires a hands-on leader who can build productive teams, maintain high standards, and consistently deliver safe, quality results on schedule.
