Senior Construction Superintendent
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Construction Superintendent to lead the safe, efficient and successful delivery of major construction projects. This is a site-based role suited to a confident construction professional with strong leadership skills, commercial awareness and a proven record of managing complex works from mobilisation through to completion.
You will oversee day-to-day construction activities, ensuring that projects are delivered to programme, budget and the required quality standards. Working closely with project managers, engineers, subcontractors, consultants and stakeholders, you will provide clear direction across the site and promote a culture of collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement.
Key responsibilities
- Lead and coordinate site-based construction teams, subcontractors and suppliers.
- Plan, sequence and monitor works to ensure progress remains aligned with the approved programme.
- Review construction methodologies, drawings, specifications and work packages before activities commence.
- Maintain high standards of health, safety, environmental compliance and site housekeeping.
- Monitor quality, identify non-conformances and ensure corrective actions are implemented promptly.
- Manage site coordination meetings, progress reporting, inspections and daily records.
- Work with commercial and planning teams to identify risks, variations, delays and opportunities.
- Support commissioning, testing, snagging, handover and close-out activities.
- Mentor supervisors and construction personnel, encouraging high performance and professional development.
About you
You will have substantial experience in a senior construction or site management position, ideally gained on large-scale, technically demanding projects. A relevant construction, engineering or building qualification is desirable, together with recognised site safety training and appropriate professional certifications.
You must be able to interpret technical information, make sound decisions under pressure and communicate effectively with people at all levels. Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and a practical, solutions-focused approach are essential. Experience managing multiple subcontractors and working within regulated environments would be advantageous.
This role offers the opportunity to make a significant contribution to high-profile projects while working within a professional and supportive site team. A competitive package is available, with travel or accommodation support considered where applicable.
