We are seeking an experienced Lead Superintendent to oversee the safe, efficient and successful delivery of complex construction projects. This is a senior site-based role for a confident leader who can coordinate multiple teams, maintain high standards and ensure work is completed on schedule, within budget and in accordance with approved specifications.
You will take overall responsibility for day-to-day site operations, acting as the principal point of contact for trade contractors, consultants, suppliers and project stakeholders. The successful candidate will bring strong technical knowledge, sound commercial awareness and the ability to make clear, timely decisions in a demanding environment.
Key responsibilities
- Lead and manage all site activities from mobilisation through to completion and handover.
- Develop and maintain detailed construction programmes, coordinating labour, materials, plant and specialist trades.
- Monitor progress, quality, productivity and compliance against project requirements.
- Chair site meetings, coordinate subcontractors and resolve operational issues promptly.
- Promote a proactive health and safety culture, ensuring risk assessments, method statements and site controls are implemented.
- Work closely with project managers, design teams and commercial colleagues to manage change, sequencing and technical queries.
- Maintain accurate site records, inspection documentation, progress reports and handover information.
- Support the identification and resolution of defects, delays, risks and potential project conflicts.
About you
You will have substantial experience in a senior site management or superintendent position, ideally delivering large-scale, technically complex construction projects. A recognised qualification in construction management, civil engineering or a related discipline is desirable, together with relevant site safety certification.
Excellent communication, organisation and leadership skills are essential. You should be commercially aware, solutions-focused and comfortable managing competing priorities while maintaining a collaborative approach. The role may require travel between project sites and occasional extended working hours to meet key delivery milestones.
