Traveling Heavy Civil Superintendent - Dam Division
We are seeking an experienced Traveling Heavy Civil Superintendent to lead field operations on major dam and heavy civil construction projects across multiple locations. This role will oversee day-to-day site activities, ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and in accordance with contract requirements, engineering plans, and quality standards. Extensive travel and extended assignments at remote or regional project sites should be expected.
Responsibilities include supervising foremen, operators, laborers, subcontractors, and other site personnel; coordinating equipment, materials, deliveries, and crews; and developing work plans that support production goals. You will interpret drawings, specifications, and schedules, monitor progress, address field issues, and collaborate with project managers, engineers, inspectors, and clients. The Superintendent will help manage excavation, embankment construction, mass concrete, structural concrete, grouting, dewatering, earthwork, underground or hydraulic structures, site utilities, and related dam rehabilitation or construction activities. Maintaining accurate daily reports, enforcing quality control procedures, participating in schedule and planning meetings, and supporting project closeout will also be key aspects of the position.
Qualified candidates should bring significant experience supervising heavy civil construction, preferably on dams, waterways, hydroelectric facilities, tunnels, bridges, large concrete structures, or other complex infrastructure projects. A strong understanding of construction means and methods, jobsite logistics, safety regulations, surveying and layout, environmental controls, and quality assurance is required. The ideal candidate is an effective communicator and decisive field leader who can motivate teams, manage competing priorities, and resolve problems in challenging conditions. The ability to read plans and specifications, use standard project documentation and scheduling tools, and work confidently with clients and subcontractors is essential. A degree in construction management, engineering, or a related discipline is beneficial but not required where equivalent experience is demonstrated. A valid driver’s license, willingness to travel extensively, and the ability to work outdoors in varying weather and terrain are required.
