We are seeking an experienced Lead Superintendent to provide strategic and operational leadership across complex construction and engineering activities. This is a key site-based role, responsible for coordinating delivery, maintaining high standards of safety and quality, and ensuring works are completed safely, efficiently and in line with approved programmes.
You will lead teams of superintendents, supervisors, contractors and specialist trades, acting as a principal point of contact between site operations, project management and external stakeholders. The successful candidate will bring strong technical knowledge, sound commercial awareness and the confidence to make informed decisions in a fast-paced environment.
Key responsibilities
- Lead and coordinate day-to-day site activities across multiple work fronts and disciplines.
- Monitor progress against programme milestones, identifying risks, delays and opportunities for improvement.
- Ensure construction activities comply with approved designs, specifications, permits and relevant legislation.
- Promote a positive safety culture and take decisive action where unsafe practices or conditions are identified.
- Coordinate subcontractors, suppliers and site teams to maintain productivity and effective resource allocation.
- Review method statements, risk assessments, inspection records and quality documentation.
- Work closely with engineering, planning, commercial and project leadership teams to resolve technical and operational issues.
- Prepare progress updates, maintain accurate site records and contribute to project reporting.
- Support commissioning, completion, handover and close-out activities as required.
About you
You will have substantial experience in a senior site supervision or superintendent role, ideally gained within a major construction, infrastructure, industrial or engineering environment. A relevant technical qualification or recognised industry certification would be advantageous, alongside a strong understanding of health and safety, quality management and construction methodologies.
Excellent communication and leadership skills are essential. You should be organised, resilient and capable of managing competing priorities while maintaining a collaborative approach. The role may involve working across active sites and occasional travel, with flexibility required to meet project demands.
