Foundations Superintendent
We are seeking an experienced Foundations Superintendent to lead the safe, efficient and high-quality delivery of foundation works on major construction or infrastructure projects. The successful candidate will oversee site operations from mobilisation through to completion, ensuring that works are carried out in accordance with approved designs, construction programmes, specifications and relevant legislation. This role will suit a technically capable construction professional with strong leadership skills and a proven background in piling, reinforced concrete foundations, groundworks or related civil engineering activities.
Key responsibilities will include coordinating subcontractors, site teams, plant, materials and specialist resources; reviewing method statements, risk assessments and inspection and test plans; and monitoring progress against programme, budget and quality requirements. You will work closely with the project management, engineering, commercial, planning and health and safety teams to resolve technical and operational issues, maintain accurate records and support effective project delivery. The role will also involve leading daily briefings, overseeing permits and temporary works, inspecting completed activities, managing interfaces with other trades and ensuring that environmental controls and site standards are consistently maintained.
Applicants should have substantial experience supervising foundation or substructure packages, ideally within complex construction, civil engineering, energy or infrastructure environments. A relevant technical qualification, site management certification or equivalent practical experience is required, together with a strong understanding of construction methods, ground conditions, surveying requirements and quality control processes. You must be confident interpreting drawings and specifications, managing competing priorities and making sound decisions in a demanding site environment. Excellent communication, organisational and team leadership skills are essential, as is a proactive approach to health, safety and continuous improvement. The ability to work flexibly, including occasional extended hours or site-based rotations where required, will be expected.
