Sitework Superintendent – Heavy Civil / Site Development
We are seeking an experienced Sitework Superintendent to lead field operations on heavy civil and site development projects. This role is responsible for coordinating daily construction activities, supervising crews and subcontractors, and ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and in accordance with approved plans and specifications. Projects may include earthwork, excavation, grading, drainage, utilities, roadways, concrete preparation, paving, and other civil infrastructure improvements.
The successful candidate will interpret drawings, specifications, and schedules; establish daily work plans; coordinate equipment, materials, deliveries, and manpower; and monitor productivity and quality throughout the project. Responsibilities include directing foremen and subcontractors, conducting pre-task planning and toolbox meetings, maintaining accurate field documentation, tracking progress, identifying potential delays, and communicating updates to project management. The Superintendent will also work closely with engineers, inspectors, vendors, and client representatives to resolve field issues, manage changes, and maintain positive working relationships. Strict adherence to health and safety requirements, environmental standards, and site-specific procedures is essential.
Applicants should have substantial superintendent or foreman experience in heavy civil construction, site development, or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of earthwork, utility installation, surveying, and construction sequencing. The ability to read plans, use elevations and grades, operate common construction technology, and coordinate multiple activities in a fast-paced environment is required. Strong leadership, organisation, communication, and problem-solving skills are essential, along with a practical, hands-on approach to field supervision. A high school diploma or equivalent is required; additional technical training, certifications, or experience with safety programmes and project management systems is advantageous. A valid driving licence and the ability to travel between active project sites may also be required.
