Superintendent - Bridges
We are seeking an experienced Superintendent to oversee bridge construction, refurbishment and maintenance activities across a portfolio of infrastructure projects. This is a site-based leadership role, responsible for coordinating construction teams, subcontractors and specialist suppliers to ensure works are delivered safely, efficiently and to the required quality standards.
You will provide visible leadership on site, supporting the successful delivery of projects from mobilisation through to completion. The role requires strong technical knowledge of bridge construction and the ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining a clear focus on safety, programme and client requirements.
Key responsibilities
- Supervise daily bridge construction and civil engineering activities, including structural concrete, steelwork, formwork, reinforcement, bearings, joints and associated works.
- Coordinate site teams, subcontractors, plant, materials and access arrangements to maintain progress against the programme.
- Interpret drawings, specifications, inspection and test plans, and method statements, ensuring work is completed in accordance with approved documentation.
- Monitor workmanship, quality and productivity, identifying issues promptly and implementing effective corrective actions.
- Lead daily briefings, toolbox talks and coordination meetings, promoting a positive safety culture and strong environmental performance.
- Maintain accurate site records, including progress updates, permits, inspections, delivery information and resource reports.
- Work closely with project managers, engineers, quantity surveyors and stakeholders to resolve technical and operational challenges.
- Support planning, sequencing, commissioning, handover and close-out activities.
About you
You will have substantial experience supervising bridge or major civil engineering projects, with a strong understanding of construction methods, temporary works, health and safety legislation and quality assurance processes. A relevant construction or engineering qualification, together with appropriate site safety accreditation, is desirable.
As a confident communicator and practical problem-solver, you will be organised, dependable and able to motivate teams in demanding site environments. The ability to read technical documentation, manage subcontractor performance and work flexibly, including occasional night or weekend shifts, is essential.
