Earthworks Superintendent
We are seeking an experienced Earthworks Superintendent to lead the safe, efficient and high-quality delivery of earthworks activities across major civil construction or infrastructure projects. In this site-based role, you will supervise daily operations, coordinate resources and subcontractors, and ensure work is completed in accordance with approved designs, project schedules, environmental requirements and quality standards. You will play a key role in maintaining productivity while promoting a strong culture of safety, teamwork and accountability.
Your responsibilities will include planning and coordinating bulk and detailed earthworks, including excavation, embankment construction, cut-to-fill operations, site preparation, material placement, compaction and grading. You will interpret drawings, specifications and survey information; allocate plant, equipment and personnel; monitor production targets; and identify opportunities to improve efficiency. The role will involve managing subcontractor performance, coordinating with engineers, surveyors, supervisors and project management teams, and maintaining accurate records of progress, quantities, inspections and site conditions. You will also be expected to conduct pre-starts and toolbox meetings, enforce safe work practices, investigate issues, and ensure environmental controls are implemented and maintained.
Applicants should have substantial experience supervising earthworks on civil, infrastructure, mining or large-scale construction projects, together with a sound understanding of earthmoving plant, materials, compaction processes, levels and site controls. The ability to read and interpret technical drawings, use digital project systems and communicate effectively with a diverse workforce is essential. Relevant trade, technical or construction qualifications, along with experience working to formal quality, safety and environmental management systems, will be highly regarded. You must be capable of working under pressure, making practical decisions in a changing site environment and leading teams to achieve demanding deadlines without compromising safety or workmanship. A current driver’s licence and the ability to work rostered or project-based hours may also be required.
