Field Superintendent – Water/Wastewater
We are seeking an experienced Field Superintendent to oversee the safe, efficient and high-quality delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This is a site-based role involving the coordination of construction activities, subcontractors, site teams and specialist trades across multiple work fronts.
You will be responsible for ensuring projects are delivered in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, programmes and environmental requirements. The role will suit a practical and organised construction professional who can lead by example, resolve issues promptly and maintain effective communication with project managers, engineers, clients and the wider delivery team.
Key responsibilities
- Supervise daily construction activities across water and wastewater treatment, pipeline, pumping station and associated civil engineering works.
- Coordinate subcontractors, suppliers, operatives and site resources to maintain progress against the agreed programme.
- Monitor workmanship, materials and installation methods to ensure compliance with technical specifications and quality standards.
- Promote a strong health, safety and environmental culture, including inspections, briefings, permits and risk control measures.
- Review drawings, method statements and inspection and test plans, identifying potential problems before they affect delivery.
- Maintain accurate site records, progress reports, timesheets, material records and quality documentation.
- Work closely with engineering and commercial teams to manage changes, delays, defects and project interfaces.
- Support commissioning, testing, handover and completion activities, ensuring all relevant documentation is properly compiled.
About you
You will have proven experience supervising construction projects within the water, wastewater, utilities or civil engineering sectors. A sound understanding of construction methods, temporary works, site logistics and health and safety legislation is essential. Experience of working around live assets, confined spaces, excavations, pipelines or treatment facilities would be advantageous.
Applicants should hold, or be working towards, relevant site management or construction qualifications, together with suitable health and safety training. Strong leadership, planning and communication skills are required, as is the ability to read technical drawings and use standard digital reporting systems. A full driving licence and willingness to travel between sites are also expected.
