Lead Superintendent
We are seeking an experienced Lead Superintendent to oversee the successful delivery of complex construction projects from mobilisation through to completion. This senior site leadership role will be responsible for coordinating field operations, maintaining a safe and productive working environment, and ensuring that work is completed in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, schedules, budgets, and quality standards. The successful candidate will act as the primary construction leader on site, providing clear direction to supervisors, subcontractors, trades, and project personnel.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining detailed short-term and master construction schedules; coordinating subcontractor activities, materials, equipment, inspections, and deliveries; reviewing plans and resolving technical or constructability issues; monitoring progress and productivity; and implementing corrective actions where required. You will lead daily coordination meetings, maintain accurate site records, support cost and change management processes, and work closely with project management, consultants, clients, and regulatory authorities. A strong focus on health, safety, environmental compliance, quality assurance, and effective risk management will be essential. You will also mentor site teams, promote accountability, and foster a collaborative culture across all project stakeholders.
Applicants should have substantial experience supervising major construction projects, ideally with a background in commercial, industrial, infrastructure, or other technically complex environments. A proven ability to manage multiple contractors and priorities, interpret construction documentation, and deliver projects safely and efficiently is required. Strong leadership, communication, organisation, negotiation, and problem-solving skills are essential, together with confidence using construction management and scheduling systems. Relevant trade, technical, construction management, or engineering qualifications will be advantageous, as will experience with commissioning, handover, and close-out activities. The role requires a proactive, resilient professional who can make sound decisions under pressure and maintain high standards throughout the project lifecycle.
