General Superintendent Civil
We are seeking an experienced General Superintendent – Civil to lead and coordinate civil construction activities across major infrastructure or industrial projects. The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing site operations from mobilisation through to completion, ensuring work is delivered safely, efficiently, to the required quality standards, and in accordance with approved schedules, drawings, specifications, and contractual obligations.

Key responsibilities include planning daily and weekly construction activities; coordinating earthworks, excavation, foundations, concrete, drainage, roads, utilities, structures, and associated civil works; allocating labour, plant, materials, and equipment; monitoring productivity and progress; and identifying and resolving construction issues before they affect programme or cost. You will supervise subcontractor performance, review method statements and work permits, maintain accurate site records, and contribute to progress reporting, forecasting, and look-ahead planning. A strong focus on health, safety, environmental protection, quality assurance, and housekeeping is essential, including participation in inspections, risk assessments, toolbox meetings, and incident investigations.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a senior civil construction supervision or general superintendent position, preferably on large-scale infrastructure, mining, energy, industrial, or commercial projects. A relevant qualification in civil engineering, construction management, or a related discipline is desirable, together with a strong understanding of construction methods, technical documentation, quality systems, and applicable workplace regulations. You will need proven leadership and communication skills, the ability to manage competing priorities, and confidence working with diverse teams in challenging site environments. Strong organisational, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities are essential, as is a practical, proactive approach to achieving safe and successful project delivery.
