General Superintendent
We are seeking an experienced General Superintendent to provide leadership and operational oversight across multiple projects, ensuring work is delivered safely, efficiently, on programme and to the required standards. This is a senior site-based role with responsibility for coordinating construction activities, supervising site teams and maintaining strong working relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers.
The successful candidate will oversee day-to-day site operations, reviewing programmes, sequencing activities and allocating labour, plant and resources to support successful project delivery. Duties will include monitoring progress against schedules, identifying risks and resolving issues promptly, coordinating subcontractor performance, reviewing method statements and ensuring all works comply with approved designs, specifications and quality requirements. You will promote a proactive health and safety culture, lead site briefings and inspections, investigate incidents where required, and ensure environmental and regulatory obligations are met. Accurate reporting of progress, costs, resources, changes and potential delays will also be expected, together with regular communication to senior management and project stakeholders.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a senior construction or infrastructure leadership position, with a proven record of managing complex projects and multidisciplinary teams. A strong understanding of construction methods, project controls, quality assurance and health and safety legislation is essential. You will need excellent planning, decision-making and problem-solving skills, alongside the confidence to lead teams and challenge unsafe or ineffective practices. Strong communication and negotiation abilities are required, as is the flexibility to work across different sites and respond to changing project priorities. Relevant technical qualifications, professional membership or formal training in construction management, engineering or a related discipline would be advantageous.
