Heavy Highway Superintendent
We are seeking an experienced Heavy Highway Superintendent to oversee the safe, efficient, and timely delivery of major highway, bridge, and civil infrastructure projects. This position will coordinate daily field operations, supervise crews and subcontractors, and ensure work is completed in accordance with approved plans, specifications, schedules, and quality standards. The Superintendent will serve as a key point of contact between project management, engineers, inspectors, suppliers, and site personnel.
Responsibilities include planning and directing site activities; interpreting drawings, contracts, and project documentation; coordinating equipment, materials, deliveries, and manpower; and monitoring progress against established milestones. You will conduct regular site inspections, maintain accurate daily records, identify and resolve construction issues, and support project managers with scheduling, cost control, change orders, and forecasting. The role also requires strict enforcement of health and safety procedures, environmental requirements, traffic control plans, and applicable regulations. You will lead toolbox talks, investigate incidents when necessary, and promote a professional, collaborative work environment.
Applicants should have substantial experience supervising heavy highway, roadway, bridge, excavation, drainage, concrete, asphalt, or related civil construction projects. Strong knowledge of construction methods, site logistics, survey and layout practices, equipment operations, and quality control procedures is essential. The successful candidate will demonstrate effective leadership, communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills, together with the ability to manage changing priorities in a fast-paced field environment. Proficiency with construction schedules, digital reporting systems, and standard office software is preferred. A degree, technical qualification, or equivalent practical experience in civil construction is advantageous, as are relevant safety certifications and a valid driving licence. Regular travel between project sites and extended hours, including occasional nights or weekends, may be required to meet project demands.
