General Superintendent
We are seeking an experienced General Superintendent to provide senior leadership and operational oversight across multiple construction projects. The successful candidate will be responsible for coordinating field operations from preconstruction through completion, ensuring work is delivered safely, efficiently, on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with approved plans, specifications, and quality standards. This role will supervise project superintendents, forepersons, subcontractors, and site personnel while promoting a collaborative, accountable, and solutions-focused working environment.
Key responsibilities include developing and maintaining overall site logistics and execution plans; reviewing schedules, manpower requirements, material deliveries, and equipment needs; monitoring project progress and resolving field issues; coordinating activities among trades, consultants, vendors, and project management teams; and ensuring compliance with applicable building codes, contract requirements, health and safety regulations, and environmental procedures. The General Superintendent will lead regular site meetings, inspect work for quality and conformance, support schedule recovery initiatives, identify potential risks, and provide clear progress updates to senior leadership. The role will also contribute to preconstruction planning, constructability reviews, sequencing, budgeting input, and the development of best practices across projects.
Applicants should have significant experience overseeing complex construction projects, preferably in a senior superintendent or comparable field leadership position. Strong knowledge of construction methods, scheduling practices, safety management, quality control, and subcontractor coordination is essential. The ideal candidate will demonstrate excellent communication, organisation, decision-making, and problem-solving skills, together with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. Proficiency with construction management, scheduling, and reporting software is desirable. A relevant trade qualification, technical diploma, or degree in construction management, engineering, or a related discipline will be considered an advantage. Regular travel between project sites may be required.
